Editing One Life to Live (section)

===Unsuccessful revival attempt===
On July 7, 2011, ABC announced that it had licensed the rights to ''One Life to Live'' and ''All My Children'' to television, film and music production company Prospect Park, allowing both series to continue producing new first-run episodes beyond the conclusion of their television runs on ABC, with the series moving to a new [[Hulu]]-style online channel currently in development by Prospect Park; as a result of the company's acquisition of the two soap operas, ''One Life to Live'' and ''All My Children'', would become the first soap operas to transition their first-run broadcasts from traditional television to [[internet television]].<ref name="Prospect Park"/>

On September 16, 2011, executive producer [[Frank Valentini]] was retained by Prospect Park for that serial as well as ''[[All My Children]]'' when both shows would move to The Online Network.<ref name="Frank Valentini">{{cite web|url=http://michaelfairmansoaps.com/news/breaking-news-frank-valentini-signs-on-to-ep-oltl-at-prospect-park-named-vp-serial-dramas-for-online-venture/2011/09/16/|title=BREAKING NEWS: Frank Valentini signs on to EP OLTL at Prospect Park & named VP Serial Dramas for online venture!|work=[[Michael Fairman On-Air On-Soaps]]|access-date=February 28, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150326074105/http://michaelfairmansoaps.com/news/breaking-news-frank-valentini-signs-on-to-ep-oltl-at-prospect-park-named-vp-serial-dramas-for-online-venture/2011/09/16/|archive-date=March 26, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> On September 28, 2011, Prospect Park confirmed that ''One Life to Live'' would start on its '''The Online Network''' internet channel in January 2012, but without specifying the exact date.<ref name="Reuters">{{cite news | url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUS273846887220110928 | work=Reuters | title=New Episodes of 'All My Children' Will Premiere Online in January | date=September 28, 2011 | access-date=July 1, 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151106194402/http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/28/idUS273846887220110928 | archive-date=November 6, 2015 | url-status=live }}</ref> On September 30, 2011, it was announced that head writer [[Ron Carlivati]] would be also heading to the internet version of the show.<ref name="Ron Carlivati">{{cite web|url=http://tvline.com/2011/09/30/one-life-to-live-prospect-park-archer-carlivati/|title=More One Life to Live Stars Join Online Venture|first1=Matt Webb|last1=Mitovich|date=September 30, 2011|access-date=August 9, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013164316/http://tvline.com/2011/09/30/one-life-to-live-prospect-park-archer-carlivati/|archive-date=October 13, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>

Since the agreement made between ABC and Prospect Park was not limited to [[internet television]] and did allow for ''One Life to Live'' to be broadcast on traditional television, there was an announcement on August 3, 2011, about a possibility of ''One Life to Live'' airing on a [[cable television]].<ref name="cable 1">{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2011/08/all-my-children-one-life-to-live-to-return-to-tv-soaps-shopped-to-cable-networks-153240/|title='All My Children', 'One Life To Live' To Return To TV?

Reasons given by Prospect Park included funding problems and poor negotiations with the unions representing the cast of ''One Life to Live''. [[Writers Guild of America]] and [[American Federation of Television and Radio Artists]], which respectively represent the writer and the actors, have expressed disappointment over Prospect Park's decision.<ref name="unions reaction">{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2011/11/wgaw-aftra-react-to-amc-oltl-not-moving-online-dont-blame-us-198059/|title=WGAW & AFTRA React To 'AMC' & 'OLTL' Not Continuing Online: Don't Blame Us|first=Nellie|last=Andreeva|date=November 23, 2011|access-date=April 17, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131107120633/http://www.deadline.com/2011/11/wgaw-aftra-react-to-amc-oltl-not-moving-online-dont-blame-us/|archive-date=November 7, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> Though not one of the reasons given by Prospect Park, ''[[Deadline Hollywood]]'' suggested that the company's lack of success in finding a cable network to carry the show may have been instrumental in the company's decision to not pursue the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2011/11/on-the-brink-prospect-park-may-be-forced-to-pull-the-plug-on-oltl-amc-197940/|title=ON THE BRINK: Online Soap Opera Network May Fold, Spelling The End Of 'OLTL', 'AMC'|author=Nellie Andreeva|website=Deadline Hollywood|date=November 23, 2011|access-date=February 28, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140303021122/http://www.deadline.com/2011/11/on-the-brink-prospect-park-may-be-forced-to-pull-the-plug-on-oltl-amc/|archive-date=March 3, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref>

Despite its fruitless attempt to save the series, Prospect Park had succeeded in retaining 13 actors to sign for the online venture, compared to only two actors for ''All My Children''. Matriarch actress [[Erika Slezak]] (Victoria Lord) was among the 13.<ref name="Slezak staying">{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2011/09/four-actors-sign-on-to-continue-on-oltl-while-susan-lucci-turns-down-amc-offer-167215/|title=Four Actors Sign On To Continue On 'OLTL' While Susan Lucci Turns Down 'AMC' Offer|author=Nellie Andreeva|website=Deadline Hollywood|date=September 6, 2011|access-date=February 28, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140705135615/http://www.deadline.com/2011/09/four-actors-sign-on-to-continue-on-oltl-while-susan-lucci-turns-down-amc-offer/|archive-date=July 5, 2014|url-status=live}}</ref> The 12 other actors were [[Melissa Archer]] (Nathalie Buchanan), [[Kassie DePaiva]] (Blair Cramer), [[Michael Easton]] (John McBain), [[Shenell Edmonds]] (Destiny Evans), [[Josh Kelly (actor)|Josh Kelly]] (Cutter Wentworth), [[Ted King (actor)|Ted King]] (Tomás Delgado), [[Florencia Lozano]] (Tea Delgado), [[Kelley Missal]] (Danielle Manning), [[Sean Ringgold]] (Shaun Evans), [[Andrew Trischitta]] (Jack Manning), [[Jerry verDorn]] (Clint Buchanan) and [[Tuc Watkins]] (David Vickers).<ref name="Actors that signed with Prospect Park">{{cite magazine |url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/11/23/plans-killed-to-take-one-life-to-life-and-all-my-children-online/ |title=''One Life to Life'' and ''All My Children'' dead: Online plans canceled |first=Lynette |last=Rice |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |date=November 23, 2011 |access-date=October 27, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141007172232/http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/11/23/plans-killed-to-take-one-life-to-life-and-all-my-children-online/ |archive-date=October 7, 2014 |url-status=live }}</ref>
