Guiding Light to end its 72-year run in September

I am right there with you.

While everyone else in college watched "All My Children" and "Days of Our Lives", I watched GL. I got hooked in the summer of my 8th Grade year. I can't believe it's being canceled. Wow.

If there was a CBS soap that needed to be cancelled, B&B should have been the first one to go. That show's just utter trash.

If they cancel Y&R or ATWT, someone's gonna get hurt!!!

I used to watch GL with my grandma when she would visit us every spring. I don't really watch it anymore, but it is going to be sad to see it gone.

Unfortunately, it is MEGA MEGA HUGE in Europe so it's not going any time soon.

I have gotten to the point with this that it's like letting someone go that you love so they don't suffer anymore. The writing has gotten better lately, and my man Phillip is back, but the production style is just awful - it doesn't fit a soap at all, not to mention hwo bad it makes some of the actors look - and the network doesn't want to put any money into it to make it better.

Sad to say, I think the soap in general is dying. When you can take reality TV and contort it into a "soapy" storyline, without really having to pay actors or writers, why bother with the real thing?
