Emmy Award-Winning One Live to Live is set in the fictional community of Llanview, which is modeled on the Philadelphia Main Line. The character of Victoria Lord Davidson, present since the show's inception, continues as an integral part of the canvas today.

One Life To Live has been lauded for its groundbreaking exploration of social issues, diverse canvas, award-winning performances and innovative storylines. Along with the history-making week of live shows in May 2002, OLTL is responsible for many "firsts" in Daytime television, including stories of interracial romance and split personalities, as well as overcoming illiteracy, medical misdiagnosis, racial prejudice, lupus and gang violence. The show received mass critical acclaim for its 1992 homophobia storyline, which captured national headlines when it introduced the character of a gay teen (played by then unknown Ryan Phillippe) and culminated with the emotional display of the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. In 1994 the show received equally high praise, and garnered four Daytime Emmy Awards -- including one for Best Writing -- for its riveting fraternity gang rape storyline. OLTL won four Emmys again in 2000, including awards for costume design and music direction, and in 2001 OLTL was the recipient of two Emmy awards. In 2002, the show won its first ever Daytime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Drama Series category and was honored with one award in 2003. In 2000, OLTL received the first CDC Sentinel for Health Award for the story of Viki's (Erika Slezak) breast cancer.

The rich history of OLTL continues to thrive with the Lord legacy, the powerful Buchanans and intriguing families such as the Cramers, Vegas and McBains. With new faces and longtime favorites, OLTL delivers the excitement of new friends and relationships and the comfort of binding family ties.

Created by Agnes Nixon, One Life To Live debuted on July 15, 1968.
