The legendary soap opera All My Children wraps up Friday, after more than 40 years on the air.

The soap opera, originally a half-hour show, hit the air January 5, 1970; it was later expanded to an hour.

Earlier this month, Susan Lucci, 64, who played Erica Kane on the soap since 1970, vented her frustration with the show's end in a new epilogue she added to the paperback version of her autobiography, All My Life: A Memoir.

Fear not, iconic soap operas One Life to Live and All My Children will live on!

Although the two long-running daytime dramas were canceled from ABC's lineup and replaced by lifestyle programs, RadarOnline.com has learned they will continue to air on the Internet.

According to a press release, ABC has licensed the soap operas to online production specialists Prospect Park, enabling them to continue production beyond their life on television.
