Grab your hankies, daytime TV lovers. The end is fast approaching for all your soap friends in Pine Valley and Llanview.
"All My Children," starring beloved soap queen Susan Lucci, and "One Life to Live" both were handed cancellation notices Thursday by ABC.
"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 a statement.
"All My Children," which focuses on the trials and tribulations of characters in the fictional Northeastern town of Pine Valley, will close up shop in September. "One Life to Live," set in nearby Llanview, Pa., will air its final episode in January.
ABC said shows called "The Chew" and "The Revolution" will replace the two soaps.
