'All My Children,' 'One Life to Live' Return on Hulu, iTunes

Good news for fans of beloved soap operas All My Children and One Life to Live. The shows are back from the dead, with new episodes ready to watch via Hulu and iTunes.

Fans can watch the last 10 episodes for free on their PC via Hulu.com. A $7.99 per month Hulu Plus subscription will provide access to all episodes in HD on the TV, mobile, and computer. Episode 1 of All My Children and One Life to Live are up on Hulu.com now.

On iTunes, meanwhile, the 30-minute episodes are on sale for $0.99 each, while a multi-pass of 20 One Life to Live episodes can be purchased for $9.99. New episodes will automatically download to your iOS device as they become available.

Prospect Park, which owns the rights to the shows, announced back in January that the soaps would return online via The Online Network with OLTL director Jennifer Pepperman and All My Children producer Ginger Smith serving as executive producers.

OLTL premiered in 1968, and aired its last television episode on Jan. 12, 2012. All My Children began in early 1970, helping to launch the careers of Susan Lucci, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Cameron Mathison, and Josh Duhamel before ending its run on Sept. 23, 2011.

Hulu visited the set of All My Children and spoke to Cady McClain, who plays Dixie Cooney Martin. "I know it was a long wait," McClain told Hulu. "I know there have been a lot of ups and downs. I just want to assure the fans that it feels like another era of golden years for this show. It's truly the best that All My Children is and can be again."

"I'm very excited and feel super lucky to be here right now," McClain continued. "The story and sets are incredible. There are so many surprises coming. I can't wait to watch it myself!"
