After 40-year-plus runs on ABC, and the final episode of All My Children set to air Sept. 23 and of One Life to Live in January 2012, the popular soaps won't be saying goodbye, after all.
The shows are going online.
"We are privileged to continue the legacy of two of the greatest programs to air on daytime television, and are committed to delivering the storylines, characters and quality that audiences have come to love for over 40 years," the production company Prospect Park announced in a statement Thursday.
Once they hit the web, the soaps will continue to be delivered with the same quality and in the same format and length – though it has not been announced whether the current casts, such as Susan Lucci in All My Children, will continue in their roles.

It's a sad day for soap opera fans.
ABC announced Thursday that the sun will set permanently in the fictional towns of Pine Valley and Llanview as All My Children and One Life to Live wrap up for good.
AMC's last episode – which was rumored last month to be on the horizon – will be in September, while OLTL will end in January 2012.
At the very least, fans needn't worry they'll be stuck with controversial, Lost-style endings – producers promise a satisfying conclusion to both soaps' legacies.

All My Children: Should ABC Cancel It?
Originally posted 03/22/2011 07:00PM
All My Children has been a daytime TV staple since 1970 – but has the show and its fictitious Pine Valley, Penn., setting outworn its welcome?
Rumors of cancellation are circling around the popular show that finally delivered Susan Lucci her Daytime Emmy. Various reports claim that ABC is considering reducing its afternoon drama lineup from three to two hours to make room for a new talk show, which could send AMC to the chopping block.
But a rep for ABC Daytime shoots down the claims, telling PEOPLE in a statement, "The Deadline.com piece is just the latest story in a long line of stories about this same topic."
As of now, the rep adds, "There is no change for the current ABC daytime schedule."

What's Lucci's game plan for moving from New York (where AMC stops filming in December) to Los Angeles (where it starts up again Jan. 4)? "I don't know ... I love the show and I love playing Erica [Kane]," says the Scarsdale native who even went to college in New York. "But I'm just now going to have a couple of days off. It's a lot to think about."
