One Life to Live & All My Children: They’re Back!

April 29, 2013

I have a dirty little secret. And I bet it might be a dirty little secret that many of you out there share with me. My name is Katie, and a guilty pleasure of mine is watching soap operas. I know I can’t be alone in this. When I was in high school, I became absolutely hooked (I was a General Hospital junkie at that time). My love of soap operas evolved into a daily routine for me. I would return home from school, open up my textbooks to do homework, and turn on the television for my afternoon fix of soap opera drama (I’ve always been one to multitask). I loved it. The plot lines ranged from the plausible to the absolutely ridiculous and sometimes unimaginable (and probably impossible). I remember thinking to myself how fun it must be to be employed as a writer for a soap opera – no character twist would be off limits…you could really stretch your imagination. And as for the actors? I went through a phase in high school and college where I loved acting/performing and I thought it would actually be pretty fun to be on set on a regular basis for a daytime soap opera. But I digress… I don’t know about you, but I remember how surprised I was last year when the announcement was made that two long lived soap operas, One Life To Live and All My Children, were being cancelled. I’ll be honest: I don’t think I’d ever heard of a soap opera being cancelled before, and it was very sad. Had times really changed so much that there was no place for these soap operas? Thankfully, the cancellation did not last for long. One Life to Live & All My Children, two of the most beloved soap operas in history are now going to be back with brand new episodes on Hulu starting on April 29th. For both of these soaps, original cast members are returning (as well as some new additions). Each episode will be 3o minutes long, airing on weekdays. OLTL How cool is that? With streaming subscription services (and free services) like Hulu, it really has made watching TV shows and movies a breeze…and allows you to watch at a time that is convenient for you. Even if you happen to be working in the afternoon during the regular time a soap opera airs, you can catch it when you’re available later on! And if you’re like me, you’ll now watch episodes on your computer while blogging, instead of doing statistics homework and watching on TV. Ah, how times change… There are two simple options to watch the latest episodes of One Life to Live and All My Children on Hulu: Hulu.com and Hulu Plus. Hulu.com is absolutely free and allows you to watch the latest episodes on your computer. The other option is through the Hulu Plus subscription service. With Hulu Plus, for a monthly fee of $7.99 you will be able to watch all episodes through select Internet connected devices such as an iPad, iPhone, gaming consoles and set top boxes.
