ABC Soap Fave All My Children to Move Production to Los Angeles

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. Many stage actors over the years have enjoyed filming cameos and regular parts on both New York City based soap operas. 

"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.

According to ABC.com "All My Children is set in the fictional burg of Pine Valley, PA: Small town, big problems, bigger personalities.

At the center of the drama are the families: The strong-willed Kanes, the powerful Chandlers, the good and gracious Martins. Along with their friends and enemies, they keep the scandal flowing and life anything but simple. While the residents live and love, fight and dream, they all remain connected. As written in the opening of the show's iconic photo album:

The great and the least
The weak and the strong
The rich and the poor
In sickness and health
In joy and sorrow
In tragedy and triumph
You are All My Children.

Created by Agnes Nixon, All My Children premiered on January 5, 1970"
