Sit down daytime TV lovers: It’s the end of an era for a couple of your favorite soaps, ABC just announced.
Yes, the Susan Lucci-starring “All My Children” and “One Life to Live” both received cancellation notices today, the alphabet network said.
“We are taking this bold step to expand our business because viewers are looking for different types of programming these days,” Disney ABC/Television Group Daytime President Brian Frons said in statement.
“They are telling us there is room for informative, authentic and fun shows that are relatable, offer a wide variety of opinions and focus on ‘real life’ takeaways. A perfect example of this is ‘The View,’ and that factored into our decision.”
“All My Children” will close up shop in September and “One Life to Live” will air its final episode in January, ABC said.
What’s slated to replace the two soap operas are “The Chew” and “The Revolution.”
