One Life To Live - OLTL - "September 8, 1980" - Marco, Edwina, Karen, Larry, Dorian, Carla, Clint.

[@edgefan4437]

The good old days of One Life to Live. We didn't know how good it all was until it was over.

[@belindabutcher7925]

Amen to that!!!!

[@clairmarie3130]

😂😂 Dorians face at 3:57! I don't think she was prepared for that "tea".

[@brookehanley3659]

This was one of the best clips of the show. No question. Holds your attention from start to finish and incredible acting from ALL.

[@dananicole3969]

One life too live has so many great characters and storylines,this soap was consistently good,as where other soaps weren't as consistent.

[@VenusMonkey]

Oh I didn't want that to end. Poor Edwina. Felt bad for Marco, too despite himself. This was my favorite soap with these writers and characters. It's so hard to find any from those times. I wish there was a way to rewatch the whole thing. Thanks so much for posting. If you have any more I'd love to see them.

[@foryourviewingpleasure966]

Yeah, it was a great soap. I have three more episodes coming up.......Judith Light's last two episodes and one where she and Larry are being held captive by Steve's gang.

[@VenusMonkey]

@@foryourviewingpleasure966 look forward to watching, thank you :)

[@CRESCENTII1968]

I have been loving these old episodes---It is so strange, at the time, when I was a kid, I used to think "Maybe we should be saving certain things (shows, commercials, whatever) as artifacts, now that we have video" ----but of course never did! I am thankful to you for having the foresight!

[@foryourviewingpleasure966]

You're very welcome. My mom and I were big Judith Light fans and that is why I have these episodes. I just wish I had thought to save more of them !! If only ABC would make them available, that would be great !

[@brookehanley3659]

The stories around this time were so good on One Life.

[@hapgood22]

One Life to Live was absolutely the best, especially with Judith Light (Karen) and Gerald Anthony (Marco).. It's an outrage that Mr . Anthony never won an Emmy for his work on OLTL. Did anyone notice there are no science fiction elements, no secret agent elements, no supernatural elements here? Just great storytelling and acting.

[@HelloooThere]

YEAH BUT GH DID THAT AND HIT NUMBER 1 IN THE RATINGS OLTL WAS A GREAT SECOND THOUGH

[@erikandrus4387]

Oh wow, I didn't notice this episode... I love this :) Someday I would love to see the masquerade ball Asa threw for Sam that was crashed by not only his "dead" wife Olympia, but a band of local motel maids trying to loot the wealthy of Llanview... You have made my Friday, thank you again!

[@foryourviewingpleasure966]

So happy to hear that. I would love to see the masquerade ball again also. Let's keep our fingers crossed that someday we'll have a way to access those episodes.

[@erikandrus4387]

@@foryourviewingpleasure966 I saw it when I was five, but since the internet, I have only scene a few pictures, read a synopsis and seen a "Love in the Afternoon" promo for it. I just remember as a child the Titania costume Samantha and Olympia wore was eerie. And I remember Olympia having this fantasy about walking in on Samantha in Asa's lap then shooting them both dead. Poor woman was totally off the rails.

@@erikandrus4387 I met Olympia (Taina Elg) briefly outside of the OLTL studio in NYC in the early 80s. She was very nice and I wish I had asked for an autograph.

[@erikandrus4387]

@@foryourviewingpleasure966 Oh that is so cool! I would love to meet her and tell her how much I loved her work. I think after a while Olympia became a victim of circumstance, but was really a sympathetic character. And of course she was very eloquent too. I am so glad you had that happen...♥

[@Goldensoaps]

In fact, there is no episodes with Olympia....it is a pity....we only have a couple of seconds in the Asa and Sam's wedding episode....

Al Freeman is such an Icon He was the First African American Actor to win a Daytime Emmy for his Role as Ed Hall. He Also played Virgil in Roots, then Malcolm X in Roots The Next Generations. If he hadn't played Ed, another Actor that would have been perfect would have been Ruben Greene who played Bernard in The Broadway/Movie Version of The Boys In The Band.

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

I remember when The New York Times erroneously printed Margaret Klenck's (who played Edwina) obituary back in 1993, saying she died of a heart attack. They confused her with actress Edwina Lewis, which was the character name of Margaret Klenck on One Life To Live.

[@intheredcold9216]

I was a kid but I remember thinking Marco was a great bad guy. I think he's a template for later sympathic villains that were never quite redeemed.

[@CarolShook-yg9nn]

That was a good episode and I even enjoy the original commercials that played at the time.

[@drugreen123]

I was a gh girl, but caught a bit of OLTL here and there when i was a kid. While this wasn't my soap I always got a kick out of Marco and until just now in 2023 I had totally forgotten about him. A Todd before there was a Todd.

[@a.b.s_productions]

So if Merv came on at 4 pm what time did Edge of Night come on in Philly? Al Freeman Jr, (Ed) was a very underrated actor. He really was keeping it together during this episode. Straight up Mister Cool.

[@foryourviewingpleasure966]

Gosh......that's a good question. I have some old TV Guides from those years and I'll have to check that out.

[@a.b.s_productions]

@@foryourviewingpleasure966 My guess would be 10 am or 10:30 because ABC had repeats of their prime time shows on during the day like Three’s Company or Love Boat at 11 am

[@a.b.s_productions]

The actor also had a little trip over to Days of Our Lives also before going to Another World.

[@brianaylor8121]

I also saw 'Cass Winthrop' from Another World. It's fun watching these episodes because you see actors and actresses who are better known as characters from other soaps. And Judith Light as Karen Wolek who went on to play Angela Bower on Who's the Boss?

[@seanm6215]

Do you have any other episodes of oltl from the distant past?

[@foryourviewingpleasure966]

Yes, I do. The day after the aborted wedding and Judith Light's last two episodes before she left the show. They should be coming up in the next week or so.

Hey this aired 5 days after ANC's Cliff and Nina's first wedding, which was labor day mon. 9-3-80. If this was a Friday cliffhanger than this would have had to be 9-7-80. Soaps never air on Saturdays so it had to have been 9-7. But maybe I'm wrong..,.

Wasn’t Marco a creep? What makes all the citizen of Llandview so forgiven?

[@intheredcold9216]

I think the character of Marco is one of the Prototype villains that everybody loved. Before this era of TV the bad guys and the good guys were far more clear-cut. You didn't sympathize with the bad guys usually but then people like Marco came on the scene and suddenly the bad guys weren't so bad and everything was more complicated and you could like the bad guy
