Guiding Light - MESSAGE BOARDS

Watching the previews for next weeks "farewell happens here" had me crying! I still can't believe GL has been canceled. I have watched this show since I was a little girl - with my Mom and my Grandmother. GL is so rich in history and so many have been life long viewers. With only 1 week left I am feeling so very sad! This has been "Guiding Light" ......

Yeah,that farewell preview got to me to.Its going to be good next week,But that will be the end for us fans.So many wonder years I have watched GL,And like the rest of you,I will be lost without my light.

I Been watching this show since i moved from Italy 1973 untill now.I am going to miss all the actor's.

Yes, when it said "Farewell Happens Here", it was like putting the final nail in the coffin. Tears were already flowing from watching today's episode and continued as the previews showed for the Farewell Week. It is going to be a very sad day come Mon., Sept. 21 and there is no GL. While we are going to be sad, we have years of memories to share with each other. So, together as friends GL will go live on.

I have to admit..I'm a guy, and that got to me too. I got started back in the..geez..late 70's/early 80's with my mom. We were always big fans of Roger Thorpe. Though she stopped watching years ago, I was keeping her up to date, and had hoped to maybe watch the finale together, but I lost her a few weeks ago, so this has taken on so much more significance for me. The end of this show is sort of symbolic of so much more, as I'm sure it is for so many other people. Not sure what I'll watch come 9/21, but I'm pretty damn sure it won't be CBS!

I am from Lyons, Ga and I am 43 I have based my whole life off of Guiding Light, and as I have been watching this program as long as Phillip,Beth,Rick,Mandy,Josh,Reava really set the program off. Now we are losing our precious light...............

rogerthrope,
So sorry to hear about your mom, it is so hard to lose our mama's. Make this next week a special one just for you and her, that would be fun memories......look at me, a big ole softie, my mom died almost 15 years ago and I miss her every single day..............now I am going to have to miss GL...............just not fair. Guess we all have good memories of listening to and watching Gl with our moms....pretty cool....

i just got my guiding light 50 anniversary book today that i got off of eBay for 35,00 they only had a few i will be looking at that tonight,

I just about cry every time I hear the theme song "Only Love" I have the video saved from Youtube for the whole song, and I use it on my cell phone as my ring tone.

I feel good about the happy endings that the writers seem to be leading us to for the finale.The loyal fans deserve that much.I just hope they do not throw anything weird in there at the end.Such as the residents of Springfield all just being characters in Coops last book.Or a beloved character getting sick and dying unexpectedly.Or some stupid "It was all a dream" scenario ala Dallas.Ugh!!Hope they do not go there.I hope they leave us with some happy memories of our beloved characters.

I can't take this...I grew up with this show. My heart is breaking. The farewell week previews got me crying too.
So I'm new here, not the greatest time to be the new girl..but I want to keep guiding light in my life, and figured this is a good way to help.
