The Chew replaced All My Children, while the latter series replaced One Life to Live.
The news comes seven years after ABC cancelled the long-running soap operas All My Children and One Life to Live to bring two lifestyle shows to the network: The Chew and The Revolution.
The Chew ended up doing better than its counterpart, which only survived for six months.
In a bid to cross-promote the series, The Chew’s Carla Hall made a guest appearance on ABC’s only remaining soap, General Hospital, for May sweeps.
