Maybe this will help put those pesky cancellation rumors to rest. TV Guide Magazine has exclusively learned from ABC that the network recently struck new deals with One Life to Live executive producer Frank Valentini and head writer Ron Carlivati. Valentini, who yesterday celebrated his 25th anniversary with OLTL,has signed a two-year contract to remain with the show. Carlivati'scontract is for three years. Unlike CBS and NBC, ABC actually owns itsdaytime dramas, so the concept of a show pick-up doesn't really applyhere. Thus, this news is as close as it comes to ABC acknowledging itscommitment to keep the show on the air. Next week, I'll bring you thefirst post-deal interview with Valentini and Carlivati, in which theydiscuss their new lease on Life and where they plan to take the show in the future. In the meantime, can we all just relax a little bit?
