Llanview
Llanview, Pennsylvania is the fictional setting for the long-running American soap opera ''One Life to Live''. The city exists in the same fictional universe as cities from other existing or defunct ABC daytime dramas, including Pine Valley, Pennsylvania from ''All My Children'', Port Charles, New York from ''General Hospital'', and Corinth, Pennsylvania from ''Loving''.

Other in-universe locations, such as the Lord estate of ''Llanfair'' (-''fair'' is a We ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
