EspañolONE LIFE TO LIVE
(Redirected from One Life To Live)
'''One Life to Live''' (''OLTL'') is an American soap opera which has been broadcast on the ABC television network since July 15 1968.
Impressed with the ratings success of NBC's ''Another World'', ABC sought out ''Another World'' writer Agnes Nixon to create a serial for them. Nixon, "tired of the restraints imposed by the WASPy, noncontroversial nature of daytime drama, presented the network with a startingly original premise and cast of characters. Although the show was built along the classic soap formula of a rich family and a poor family, ''One Life to Live'' emphasized the ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of the people of Llanview, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia."[1] Nixon would go on to create ''All My Children'' in 1970 and ''Loving'' in 1983.
The title of ''OLTL'' was originally going to be ''Between Heaven and Hell'', but sponsors hoped for a change to something less controversial. Though the title change was made, the first opening titles (closeup footage of flames in a fireplace) seemed to suggest a symbolic hellfire.
''OLTL's first sponsors were the Colgate-Palmolive company, who also sponsored ''The Doctors''. ABC bought the show from Agnes Nixon in December 1974 when they purchased all stock to her Creative Horizons Inc. The show was originally a half-hour serial until it was expanded to 45 minutes in 1976 and to one hour in 1978.
''One Life to Live'' is set in the fictional city of Llanview, a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania modeled after the Chestnut Hill section of the city. The show originally concentrated on the wealthy Lord family, the less wealthy Siegels (the first attempt to showcase a Jewish family on daytime television until the short-lived 1974 daytime serial, ''How to Survive a Marriage'') and the middle-class Rileys and Woleks. ''OLTL'' has been called "the most peculiarly American of soap operas: the first serial to present a vast array of ethnic types, broad comic situations, a constant emphasis on social issues, and strong male characters." [2]
Since its inception, ''OLTL'' has centered on the character of Victoria "Viki" Lord (originated by Gillian Spencer), who has been portrayed by six-time Emmy winner Erika Slezak since March 1971. Long-suffering heroine Viki has weathered love and loss, widowhood, rape, divorce, stroke and breast cancer, and has been memorably plagued by dissociative identity disorder (or DID, once known as multiple personality disorder) on and off for decades.
★ On August 16th, Several memebers of the Buchanan Family will return for a special ten thousand episode that will center around Asa Buchanan and his demise.
★ An arsonist has targeted Llanview and has destroyed numerous properties, including land owned by Antonio Vega, Vincent Jones, and Nora Hanen.

★ David Vickers returned to Llanview after confessing to killing his brother Spencer Truman. Asa Buchanan paid Vickers $10 million to kill Spencer, with David being promised a minimum sentence. However, David found Spencer dead before he got the chance to commit the murder himself. When Nigel Bartholomew-Smythe asks Asa if Vickers is a Buchanan, Asa doesn't deny it.
★ Nora and her son Matthew moved into Asa's mansion after their house was burned down.

★ Jessica Buchanan fell in love with Nash Brennan, the lover of her alter Tess Buchanan. Married to Antonio Vega, Jessica is having difficulties getting over her temptation for Nash.

In May, Jessica was diagnosed with hepatitis C, presumably a result of Tess' wild lifestyle.

ABC cemented its reputation as a youth-oriented network in daytime with the addition of ''OLTL'' to its schedule, with much of the rest of its lineup consisting of fashionable soaps like ''Dark Shadows,'' sitcom reruns, and game shows packaged by Chuck Barris. The network placed the new serial at 3:30 p.m./2:30 Central, against CBS' established hit ''Edge of Night'' and the popular NBC game ''You Don't Say.'' ''OLTL'' replaced the short-lived ''Baby Game,'' in a three-way shuffle with ''Dark Shadows'' and ''Dating Game.''
Despite the tough competition, the intense tone of the plot and strong characters allowed the show to get a leg up on ''YDS,'' wearing that game down to the point of its cancellation in September 1969; NBC replaced the Tom Kennedy-hosted game in that timeslot with three unsuccessful serials: ''Bright Promise'' (1969-72), ''Return to Peyton Place'' (1972-74), and ''How to Survive a Marriage'' (1974-75).
Things greatly improved for ''OLTL'' in 1972, when CBS relocated ''Edge'' in response to packager Procter and Gamble's demands. The four-year-old show managed to top the ratings for the first time over CBS' declining ''Secret Storm,'' and, later, the game ''Hollywood's Talking,'' which ran only 13 weeks. However, trouble loomed on the horizon as ''OLTL'' anticipated its fifth birthday, with the coming of CBS' revival of Goodson-Todman's ''Match Game.'' Some months after its debut in July 1973, that show became the daytime phenomenon of the mid-1970s, becoming the top-rated of all daytime shows by Thanksgiving. ABC stood by ''OLTL,'' however, keeping it put at 3:30/2:30.
By 1975, though, NBC became a serious player in that timeslot for the first time in over five years when it expanded its strong soap ''Another World'' to a full hour, its second half occupying the 3:30/2:30 period. This would cause ''OLTL'' to lose a sustantial audience share, but its lead-in, ''General Hospital,'' experienced even worse losses. ABC decided to take an unusual approach in addressing the competition: it expanded both ''OLTL'' and ''GH'' to 45 minutes, with each composing a half of a 90-minute block between 2:30/1:30 and 4/3. Beginning on July 26, 1976, ''OLTL'' assumed the first position, at 2:30/1:30. ABC bet its hopes on viewers staying tuned past the half hour, making them unlikely to switch channels to ''AW'' or ''All in the Family'' reruns on CBS (for ''GH'' fans, turning to ''Match Game'').
This approach showed some promise, until November 7, 1977, when CBS expanded its venerable ''Guiding Light'' to a full hour at 2:30/1:30. As ''OLTL'' struggled, its neighbor, ''GH,'' was in danger of cancellation after a 15-year run. So, in a "make it or break it" ultimatum to ''GH,'' ABC finally gave an hour to both shows, on January 16, 1978, with ''OLTL'' occupying the 2-3/1-2 p.m. slot; ''The $20,000 Pyramid,'' which enjoyed three solid years of success at 2/1, got dispatched to Noon/11 a.m. for the rest of its ABC run, to make room for ''OLTL.''
This proved to be decisive for the long-term survival of both shows, as ''GH'' rose rapidly to the top spot in the Nielsens through its brash, youthful storylines (culminating in the hugely popular "Luke and Laura" storyline by 1979-1980). As for ''OLTL,'' from its tenth birthday onward, it took advantage of the decline in quality and popularity of its competitors, all Procter and Gamble productions. ''Search for Tomorrow,'' for instance, spent its last several months on CBS against the last half of ''OLTL.'' Its replacement, ''Capitol,'' which ran from 1982 to 1987, did little better, and after its cancellation, CBS aligned ''As the World Turns'' against ''OLTL'' and ''AW,'' a configuration that stayed in place until ''AW's'' cancellation in 1999. During the 2000s thus far, ''OLTL'' has run about even with ''ATWT,'' with NBC's ''Passions'' (''AW's'' replacement) trailing significantly; NBC will cancel ''Passions'' in September 2007; that program will move to a satellite channel, The 101.
In summary, ''One Life To Live'' enjoyed fair-to-middling ratings throughout most of its first decade, but rose rapidly as it entered its second, along with the rest of ABC's daytime lineup. The 1980s saw the show reach the height of its popularity, occupying a top-four place for almost all of the decade. Since 1991, it returned to the middle of the pack, but its numbers declined, in common with all other soaps. By decade's end, the show rested near the bottom of the ratings pack, but now rests comfortably once again around #4 in the weekly ratings.

Title sequences
 1968—1975 The original ''One Life to Live'' title opening used from its 1968 premiere to 1975. Featuring a roaring fireplace with the words ''One Life To Live'' faintly appearing and growing larger as the sequence concluded. The flames were supposed to be symbolic of a hellfire, as the show's title was supposed to be "Between Heaven and Hell," but was changed at the last minute as ABC did not feel Mylanta, a major sponsor, would be pleased with any comparison between "hell" and stomach discomfort, which the product assuages. |  1975—1980 The fireplace opening was replaced in 1975 with a visual of an emerging orange and yellow mountain sunrise, concluding with the show title underneath it. |
 1980—1984 In 1980, the sunrise opening was altered with a gray background and enhanced with a longer sequence which showed not just a mountain sunrise, but also shots of birds and a close up of the sun, and eventually the title superimposed over a shot of a blue sky with clouds. The theme music was rearranged as well. |  1984—1991 The Paul Rauch Era Sequence: On December 17, 1984, a new sequence designed by Wayne Fitzgerald debuted. It featured a new theme by Dave Grusin, with translucent headshots of the cast superimposed over Llanview locations, ending with the title superimposed on a tableau of cast photos. In 1987, lyrics performed by Peabo Bryson in 1985 were added to the previously instrumental theme. |
 1992—1995 The New Era Sequence: On January 2, 1992, a new title sequence emphasizing the romantic angle of the show debuted, designed by the television computer artistry group of ''Greenberg and Schluter''. In a condensed form, it featured a love story—using the elements of a heroine, Mr. Wrong/Mr. Right, love making, implied betrayal, a champagne bottle corked, and a newborn baby. It concluded with swirling, windswept satin sheets displaying the show title. Accompanied by theme music by Lee Holdridge, in a New Age-influenced arrangement. |  1995—2004 On November 20, 1995, a new title sequence which featured posterized video headshots of each contract player and tinted action clips from the show superimposed over shots of landmarks and city scenes (reminiscent to the 1984-91 opening) made its debut, with Lee Holdridge and David Nichtern under the direction of then music supervisor Jamie Howarth, providing a new upbeat theme song to accompany it. |
 2004—Present On June 14 2004 (all ABC Daytime soaps revamped their titles this year), the latest opening premiered; it consists of live shots of cast members (which had been previously used during bumper sequences) over a black background, ending with the title superimposed over the abbreviation ''OLTL''. It is accompanied by an uptempo remix of the previous theme song. |

Scheduling/ratings history
''For historical ratings information, see List of US daytime soap opera ratings''
ABC cemented its reputation as a youth-oriented network in daytime with the addition of ''OLTL'' to its schedule, with much of the rest of its lineup consisting of fashionable soaps like ''Dark Shadows,'' sitcom reruns, and game shows packaged by Chuck Barris. The network placed the new serial at 3:30 p.m./2:30 Central, against CBS' established hit ''Edge of Night'' and the popular NBC game ''You Don't Say.'' ''OLTL'' replaced the short-lived ''Baby Game,'' in a three-way shuffle with ''Dark Shadows'' and ''Dating Game.''
Despite the tough competition, the intense tone of the plot and strong characters allowed the show to get a leg up on ''YDS,'' wearing that game down to the point of its cancellation in September 1969; NBC replaced the Tom Kennedy-hosted game in that timeslot with three unsuccessful serials: ''Bright Promise'' (1969-72), ''Return to Peyton Place'' (1972-74), and ''How to Survive a Marriage'' (1974-75).
Things greatly improved for ''OLTL'' in 1972, when CBS relocated ''Edge'' in response to packager Procter and Gamble's demands. The four-year-old show managed to top the ratings for the first time over CBS' declining ''Secret Storm,'' and, later, the game ''Hollywood's Talking,'' which ran only 13 weeks. However, trouble loomed on the horizon as ''OLTL'' anticipated its fifth birthday, with the coming of CBS' revival of Goodson-Todman's ''Match Game.'' Some months after its debut in July 1973, that show became the daytime phenomenon of the mid-1970s, becoming the top-rated of all daytime shows by Thanksgiving. ABC stood by ''OLTL,'' however, keeping it put at 3:30/2:30.
By 1975, though, NBC became a serious player in that timeslot for the first time in over five years when it expanded its strong soap ''Another World'' to a full hour, its second half occupying the 3:30/2:30 period. This would cause ''OLTL'' to lose a sustantial audience share, but its lead-in, ''General Hospital,'' experienced even worse losses. ABC decided to take an unusual approach in addressing the competition: it expanded both ''OLTL'' and ''GH'' to 45 minutes, with each composing a half of a 90-minute block between 2:30/1:30 and 4/3. Beginning on July 26, 1976, ''OLTL'' assumed the first position, at 2:30/1:30. ABC bet its hopes on viewers staying tuned past the half hour, making them unlikely to switch channels to ''AW'' or ''All in the Family'' reruns on CBS (for ''GH'' fans, turning to ''Match Game'').
This approach showed some promise, until November 7, 1977, when CBS expanded its venerable ''Guiding Light'' to a full hour at 2:30/1:30. As ''OLTL'' struggled, its neighbor, ''GH,'' was in danger of cancellation after a 15-year run. So, in a "make it or break it" ultimatum to ''GH,'' ABC finally gave an hour to both shows, on January 16, 1978, with ''OLTL'' occupying the 2-3/1-2 p.m. slot; ''The $20,000 Pyramid,'' which enjoyed three solid years of success at 2/1, got dispatched to Noon/11 a.m. for the rest of its ABC run, to make room for ''OLTL.''
This proved to be decisive for the long-term survival of both shows, as ''GH'' rose rapidly to the top spot in the Nielsens through its brash, youthful storylines (culminating in the hugely popular "Luke and Laura" storyline by 1979-1980). As for ''OLTL,'' from its tenth birthday onward, it took advantage of the decline in quality and popularity of its competitors, all Procter and Gamble productions. ''Search for Tomorrow,'' for instance, spent its last several months on CBS against the last half of ''OLTL.'' Its replacement, ''Capitol,'' which ran from 1982 to 1987, did little better, and after its cancellation, CBS aligned ''As the World Turns'' against ''OLTL'' and ''AW,'' a configuration that stayed in place until ''AW's'' cancellation in 1999. During the 2000s thus far, ''OLTL'' has run about even with ''ATWT,'' with NBC's ''Passions'' (''AW's'' replacement) trailing significantly; NBC will cancel ''Passions'' in September 2007; that program will move to a satellite channel, The 101.
In summary, ''One Life To Live'' enjoyed fair-to-middling ratings throughout most of its first decade, but rose rapidly as it entered its second, along with the rest of ABC's daytime lineup. The 1980s saw the show reach the height of its popularity, occupying a top-four place for almost all of the decade. Since 1991, it returned to the middle of the pack, but its numbers declined, in common with all other soaps. By decade's end, the show rested near the bottom of the ratings pack, but now rests comfortably once again around #4 in the weekly ratings.
