Agnes Nixon, the living legend responsible for the creation of All My
Children and One Life to Live, has released a statement regarding ABC's decision
to pull the plug on the two soaps. The statement was first released to
Entertainment Weekly.
ABC’s decision to cancel All My Children and One Life to Live saddens me
greatly. I treasure the decades that the worlds of Pine Valley and Llanview were
brought to life by our talented casts and crews. I appreciate that the network
allowed our teams to break new dramatic ground and always supported our
commitment to the honest portrayal of social issues. We hope we have entertained
our viewers and perhaps even educated them along the way.
My deep gratitude goes to all the talented people who have contributed to All
My Children and One Life To Live over these many years; we were always family,
made up of writers, producers, directors, actors, crews. Equally important in
that family are our loyal fans who shared this journey with us. Although ABC has
concluded there is no longer a place for our shows on their network, I will do
everything possible to keep them alive. God bless you all.
