One Life to Live is an American soap opera that aired on ABC for over four decades, from 1968 to 2012, before continuing as a web series on Hulu and iTunes. Created by Agnes Nixon, the show broke ground as the first daytime drama to center ethnically and socioeconomically diverse characters while tackling serious social issues. The series expanded from its original 30-minute format to 45 minutes in 1976, then to a full hour in 1978, allowing deeper storytelling. Set in the fictional Pennsylvania town of Llanview, One Life to Live followed interconnected families navigating love, crime, and moral dilemmas across generations. The show became a launching pad for major television and film careers, earning critical acclaim for its willingness to address topics rarely seen in daytime television. Its legacy shaped how soap operas approached representation and social commentary.
