Additional Comments: ONE LIFE TO LIVE has been on the air for 40 years now and the show will continue toi thrive with stories of love, passion, betrayal, loss, and triumph that surround the daily lives of many residents of Llanview, Pennsylvania.
We want to thank the woman who was responsible for making OLTL an enduring legacy on daytime television for the past 4 decades: the legendary creator of this show, Agnes Nixon.
And that brings me to ask you a very interesting question.
How did Nixon really come up with the title?

Here is your answer. It has a little more meaning now since we all got to see the opening scenes during the dream sequence.
''The title of OLTL was originally going to be Between Heaven and Hell, but sponsors at the time found this too controversial and the title was changed. Still, the first opening titles — closeup footage of flames in a fireplace — seemed to suggest a symbolic hellfire.''
