On January 12, 2012, I had the opportunity to attend the taping of The View's special farewell tribute to One Life to Live. Erika served as guest co-host for the hour-long program, joined by several current and former cast members, including Robin Strasser, Robert S. Woods, Hillary B. Smith, and Judith Light.
Also present for this special occasion were Erika's husband, Brian Davies, One Life to Live creator Agnes Nixon, and the show's head writer, Ron Carlivati. The tribute aired the following day, January 13 — the same day One Life to Live broadcast its final episode on ABC after 43 remarkable years.
As a member of the studio audience, I received this commemorative photograph of the final ABC cast, along with its certificate of authenticity. My copy is numbered 134 of a limited edition of 2,200 prints.
Although the photograph also appears in our OLTL Cast gallery, I've kept it here with its certificate as a personal remembrance of that very special, bittersweet occasion.
