I just saw the last episode of one of my favorite soaps of all time.It started for me with the Kelly- Morgan love story. and then it was the Philip-Beth- Rick-Mindy storyline, It always had great storylines and they told them in a realistic way. My all time favorite storyline was the Reva- Josh- Solida/Sunny love triangle. It was great because there wasn't a true villain.I like the way they ended it. It was nice. Did yo like the ending? What was your favorite storyline? ps " Always Bud. always Reva."

I am so sorry this show quit!
It doesn't seem possible does it?
I guess the newest generation likes the other; more steamy plot lines but I remember when I was young this was a staple that was watched at our house...and it was comforting to see each day....sigh...I guess time marches on....

I watch soaps, but never that one, but still... it is a shame such a long running show has to close out. Wasn't it 75 years..from radio to tv? How can something with such a proven fan base go off the air? Unless the writters just didn't want to do it anymore. But it sure is sad.

You are correct,it was the first soap on the radio. When it came to t.v.I believe most of the actors came too. I think it was the same old story,their ratings were low.Here,Guiding Light was up against both General Hospital And Dr. Phil.I left 18 years ago because they " killed" off my favorite character.I just came back this week to say goodbye.

I don't watch soaps but I have to tell you a story....when my mom was alive she loved Guiding Light....I swear she would do anything not to miss a single moment of it....when she was on her death bed....my daughter had to tell her blow by blow what was going on.....it was unbelieveable.....she wanted to know if someone returned to the show or not before she died.....well they held it over until monday.....and she passed away before she got to find out what happened...strange? She really was one of their greatest fans!

I got into the soaps because of my mom.She would watch Days Of Our Lives and As The world Turns and Guiding Light.It is so easy to get hooked on them. You find you have a favorite character and you follow their storyline.I hope there is cable in heaven so your mom found out that cliffhanger.

It was sad to hear the show was ending. The actors worked so hard to do the show and now have to find another job. I was stunned to hear it was over.

Well I never liked Reva or the overacting actress who played her so I was always hoping that Reva would really die one of the many times she was close. I would have preferred that Jeffery no be left out in the cold in an eternal hunt for Edmund. It was strange that Marah was not even mentioned as well as Harley or Alan Michael for that matter. I thought they spent too much time on Reva and not enough on Marina or Natalia.

I loved Reva from the moment Alan brought her to town.I loved The Josh- Reva love story.

well, its been a few months and I am so missing this show. I taped the last episode but haven't brought myself to watch it because I just didn't love the ending. LOVED the show, but wanted more of an ending instead of this ending they created of those living in springfield going on. was it open ended in hopes that it would get picked up again? I sure hope so. There is nothing to watch on television as far as I'm concerned.

By the time Guiding Light aired their final episode I had been away from the show for about 20 years.I Had to see the ending but it was fun to try to put the pieces together. I liked the ending .Ironically,after seeing the ending I have come back to Days Of Our Lives and Y and R
