ABC has announced its plans to cancel One Life to Life on January 13, 2012. Prospect Park had attempted to put the series (as well as All My Children which was cancelled in September 2011) on the Internet; however, due to funding issues, they have now abandoned those plans (November 23, 2011). Thus, the last day the series will be seen is on January 13, 2012 on ABC.
