- 'All My Children,' 'One Life to Live' Moving to New Production Facilities: "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" are getting new homes -- but you can still catch them at their old times.
ABC Daytime announced today that it would move production of "All My Children" from New York to Los Angeles and that "One Life to Live" would move into "All My Children's" former New York space, giving both shows facility upgrades and streamlined production models. "All My Children's" new facility is twice as large as its current one. It includes two stages, which will allow it to keep more standing sets. It will also allow the series to switch immediately from standard-definition to high-definition TV. "One Life to Live" will enjoy similar upgrades when the show moves into "All My Children's" old home, which is 30 percent larger than "One Life to Live's" current space. After the show relocates in December, "All My Children" will begin taping episodes in Los Angeles the week of Jan. 4, 2010, and will begin airing in HD in February. The move of "One Life To Live" to its new home takes place soon after "All My Children" relocates. "All My Children is one of the most recognizable brands in television, and we are committed to continue telling and enhancing the stories of the residents of Pine Valley," said Brian Frons, president of the Daytime division of the Disney/ABC Television Group. "The move to Los Angeles enables both 'All My Children' and 'One Life to Live' to dramatically improve the series production models and achieve significant efficiencies while enhancing each show. We had to examine every option on the table to combat the current economic realities, and rising costs of production, and we are doing it in a way that makes each of our shows stronger." "I am so grateful for the wonderful commitment from ABC to 'All My Children,'" said Agnes Nixon, creator of both shows. "While I will miss being able to run over to the show ... it feels a little like I am sending one of my children off to be married. ... I am glad the network is making moves that will enable the team to continue telling stories about Pine Valley. ... There are many more secrets to be revealed." "All My Children" has been on the air for 39 years,"One Life to Life" for 41, and both have enjoyed critical acclaim since their inception. "One Life to Live" was the most honored show at the 2008 Daytime Emmy Awards, with a total of 13 nominations that garnered six wins. "All My Children" earned 19 Daytime Emmy nominations. Despite the changes in production location, "All My Children" will still air from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. ET every weekday on ABC, with "One Life to Live" following from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET.

- The bridesmaids dresses that Dorian had the girls wear for her wedding were by Teri Jon. They may be available at Saks Fifth Avenue or directly from the manufacturer.
- David Vickers: A Look Back: David Vickers is handsome, charming, and usually guilty as sin. Always good for a dry pun or a gratuitous shirtless shot, this con man is back on "One Life to Live." Let's look back at his past.
1994: David claimed to be the son of Victor Lord, whom Dorian Lord was accused of killing. He produced a forged diary, clearing her -- and she paid him $50,000 for it. A beautiful partnership began. Meanwhile, Tina Lord fell hard for David but she thought he was her brother. The two couldn't resist each other ... and slept together. 1995: David confessed to Tina they weren't related, so they decided to get hitched. Viki also found out David wasn't really her brother. Her alternate personality, prissy Jean, emerged -- and blackmailed David into divorcing Tina and marrying Dorian (who hated him). 2001: David resurfaced to help Todd sell Blair's baby. Todd didn't realize little Jack was his son, and eventually got him back. When David blackmailed him, Todd sent David to a Moroccan prison! 2003: David, fresh from prison, returned to town and started shacking up with Dorian again. 2005: David and Dorian planned to wed for the second time. Spencer, David's brother, forced David to dump Dorian during the ceremony by threatening to tell the cops that David shot John's dad (which was lie). 2007: Despite his innocence, David confessed to killing Spencer--but only because Asa promised him $10 million to off his bro. As Asa's illegitimate son, David's worth 10 times that! After that drama ended, David married man-eater Alex Olanov to get half her fortune. He didn't know she was marrying him to get HIS share of the Buchanan wealth. Nice try, Alex!
- Allison Perkins 101: Allison Perkins, an insane and murderous enemy of the Buchanans, is back on OLTL. She's armed with a secret that she says could destroy the family. Here's a recap on some of the havoc Allison has wrought:
1986: Under cult leader Mitch Laurence's orders, his disciple Allison kidnapped newborn Jessica Buchanan from her parents, Viki and Clint. Weeks later, Allison was in a car accident and fell into a coma. Shortly after, baby Jessica was returned to the family. 2001: Allison, now awake from her coma, dropped a bombshell on Viki, Jessica and the Buchanans: Jessica wasn't Clint and Viki's daughter! Natalie Balsom, Jessica's blue collar classmate, was. Allison explained how she stole infant Natalie from Llanfair shortly after birth—but infant Jessica was the one returned. Viki refused to believe it, but a DNA test between Viki and Natalie proved they were mother and daughter. Allison's plan was to get half of Natalie's money for reuniting mother and daughter. When Natalie actually started to feel a part of the Buchanan family, she told Allison her cash was off limits. 2002: Allison went on the run. With the cops closing in, she took Viki (in her Niki persona) hostage. Allison was captured, but the shootout with the authorities left Ben Davidson, Viki's husband, in a coma. Allison was placed in St. Ann's, a mental institution. Some months later, the full extent of Allison's manipulations were revealed: Viki was actually the mother of Natalie AND Jessica. Natalie's father was Clint, while Jessica's father was Mitch, who had raped Viki. Allison had lied about Jessica not being Viki's child. 2008: Allison is back with a new secret about Jessica and the Buchanans.
