Now an ABC Daytime representative tells Soap Opera Network that those rumors are just “not true.”

Even though nearly a dozen “One Life to Live” cast members have already signed on to remain with the show when it moves to online production with Prospect Park in the coming months, at least one actress won’t be sticking around to make the transition.
