One Life To Live



That's all the title needs to be, right?


I have watched the final episode of One Life To Live. Like I said I have not been watching for a while. Only since June. It is sad to see it go, though. I enjoyed it and it was intriguing with strange characters. Like Vimal or David Vickers. I admit it. I was hooked. It was something to look forward to. How the stories would be told. Whether it was evil twins, switched paternity tests, menacing stares, love interests, heart transplants, two Ls, or even that magical road, it was a brilliant television program and did not deserve to conclude. It's weird for me to think. There's no more Vimal. No more David Vickers. No more Pa. No more Brody. No more Natalie. No more Nigel. No more 'Morasco'. No more Roxy. No more Viki. No more Todd. No more amazing casting director (Bo and Clint, Ford brothers) No more, yes, Sam. I'll admit it. I'll admit it. Surprising at is, it's true. No more Ford. No more anybody ranging from any point in the show. An eclectic group would be an understatement. Like Alison said 'things are rarely as they seem.' That's an understatement with this show. Sadly, no more. *Expression-less stare, hair flip, raspy voice* McBain. To be honest, I wished I watched it longer. But all good things must come to an end, right Brett Favre? But the post must go on.

*SPOILER* You've been warned. If you've yet to see it, do not read. *SPOILER*

There were happy endings all around. (Except for Ford.) Jessica turned out to be Clint's daughter and not Mitch Lawrence's. Tea and TOEmasssssss were reunited. McBain. Destiny gave birth to little Drew (not David.) And Matthew was there to please the Buchanans. McBain. Bo and Nora were happy. Clint proposed to Viki. McBain. Starr and Cole were reunited in California along with Markko? Maybe? McBain. Todd and Blair performed, how should I put this...sexual activities. They were interrupted by McBain. Who arrested Todd for the arrest of Victor Lord Jr, who people just kind of accepted as his name (not Jack.) But PLOT TWIST. McBain. We cut to the episode's narrator (not Matthew on Thanksgiving.) McBain. Alison who is reading the script of the last episode, starting with Viki's long name. Who even knows, something like Buchanan Manning Ford Cramer Balsom McBain Lord or something or other. She says the understatement of the year, regarding One Life To Live. McBain.

"Things are rarely as they seem."

She throws the script at a tied-to-the-bed Todd Manning. I mean Victor. Victor Lord Jr. That's how the series ends. HUBBA-WAH?! But like someone on Twitter said. How did Alison get Victor if we watched him die and she was in jail? I guess we'll never know. McBain.


But things are rarely as they seem. Fans of OLTL have more luck than All My Children. Todd, Blair, Starr, and John McBain are heading to General Hospital. Perhaps, it will be resolved there, with the new writers and all. McBain.


Well, I guess that's it. Goodbye One Life To Live. I hardly knew ye, but ye was well done.

  1. Great post from a new fan! It is sad to see it go, but glad you got to experience it, even if it was only for a little while.

    That ending definitely was a Hubba-Wha? moment!

    Let's hope the characters are dealt with well on General Hospital and we aren't going through this all over again in a year with that show!
