Guiding Light 9-18-09 The Final Episode Part 1

[@krystalboughton]

OMG I miss this show so much. I wish they would bring it back

[@boyddavenport1017]

I can't believe that Guiding Light is not on TV anymore I miss that show I Remember back in the late 80" s to early 90" s GUIDING LIGHT Writing was off the chain . The Light may be out but the after glow will live on forever in our hearts. Remember that Guiding Light was on radio first in 1937 then made the Transition to TV in 1952 then went off the air September of 2009 ?

I would like to see a Guiding Light reunion....hey 72 years has to mean something.

[@REVKOEHLER]

Back in the early 70's when I was in 7th grade i broke both my elbows. As a result I was stuck at home watching one channel on tv (we only had 5). Each afternoon I was stuck watching Beth, Phil and Rick. I actually started getting into the show. Years later I was surprised that Riva was still on the show and still pining for Josh. It was like time stood still. Now, to my surprise the show is being canceled and I had to watch. Seeing all those faces from my past, it is like seeing family again.

I'm from Iceland and we have guiding light shows every other day and we're still showing episodes from 1998

[@kavan30013]

Loved Fletcher and Alex finally getting together! And Alex being all "I hope I get into a great deal of trouble!" So glad they ended up together!

[@PantherJM15]

Can't believe this show is over :( Lots of good memories!

[@deloresdukes484]

Love this show use 2 watch everyday!

[@tugendstraum]

Thank you so much.................. for ever! You have ended a day of anticipation and sorrow... God keep the light in you always! Doris & Ashley, XTina annoying to the end.. GOD Bless her. GREAT FOR ALEX!

[@549621jon]

i'm crying and i only started watching like 6 months ago

[@rick0e295]

ALEXANDRA and ALAN were my favorite loving disfunctional siblings. ALEXANDRA went through so much. So happy to see her 💓 and Fletcher ride off to New ADVENTURES.

[@djintheatl]

I always thought Alex and Fletch belonged together!

[@radiodj1520]

In This Clip, From 3:43 To 4:24, It Was "Guiding Light" Video Open From September 18, 2009.

[@bthere100]

My favorite soap ever. There was no greater villian in day time than Roger Thorpe back in the day (him and JR Ewing may have been the two greatest villians ever). I loved the famlies and the characters. I always loved Frank Cooper on the show.

[@starkid77]

Alan Spaulding, Sheila, James Stenbeck, Helena Cassadine, Stefano Dimera, Orpheus, Kristin Dimera...More than a few went way over the top into Super villain mustache twirling shenanigans like World Domination, but if you don't aim high why bother? A select few actors were amazing enough to give many layers not conveyed by the script and we were getting 3 dimensional multi layered characters that were so powerfully acted that we not only understood some of their motivations, one couldn't help but root for them too, while loving the characters evolve into anti heroes who bent the rules, take responsibility but realize there's a point where you can reclaim the good and bad parts which made us wonder what they would do next. I love how straight up villains have evolved before our eyes but without giving up their edge and no longer apologizing but being a better person and learning from the past without staying in poverty of it and not allowing anyone to define them for their past 'sins'. Roger Thorpe was one of the best examples of coming back changed but still have full use of their arsenal of tricks if you get on their wrong side.

[@melanial32]

they do take the good ones off. I cant even believe its over. I started watching it in 1988. yes alot of great memeries.

[@adrianbush11805]

Where's Claire Ramsey

[@StanBennet]

Wow, where did you come from! Michael Zaslow was a master!

[@PhilFeedback]

Sadly, the day that we've all been dreading September 18,2009 has arrived. "Guiding Light" airs its last episode today. I'm sad to see it end.

[@atl2003]

I miss GL too. If things could have been done differently, I could picture GL ending with a cliff-hanger or two. Big cliff-hanger I have in mind... Tony, Ross, and Maureen being alive and well the entire time... and being held captive. Opening the door to GL returning at a later date... that, and other stories being addressed. Another story I see being addressed... 2 members from the Bauer family quietly passing away... Mike and Meta. AMC & OLTL ended with cliff-hangers. It's a thought.

[@laminage]

I wonder if Daisy realizes that it was the Alma Mater of Her Great Uncle Josh.

[@islandgrl289]

still can't believe it's gone :(

[@crystalriverq]

Also, there was Gus and Harley, Reva and Josh, Phillip and Rick great friends and there many loves.

[@PhilFeedback]

Sadly, the day that we've all been dreading September 18,2009 has arrived. "Guiding Light" airs its last episode today. I'm really sad to see it end today!!!!

[@savammy]

buzz was the best,hope soap net puts on reruns from the 70's to the last episode so we can relive this great show

[@WIZZINGSHIRE]

been watching this show since i was a kid.after this show was axed i thought hmmmmmmmmmm,maybe i could revive it but when alan died,MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CHARACTER ON TV PERIOD,i thought this show is truly dead.i still miss it. :(

[@StanBennet]

Roger Thorpe made the show. When Michael Zaslow died, so did the show. You would walk down the street in the 70's or the late 80's and you would hear people talk about Roger Thorpe like JR. Ewing on the street. I'll never forget being a kid on July 4th 1976.

[@vickyswindoll911]

I wondered where Ross was guess I missed a few episodes . Don't remember his passing?

[@monatoney3474]

Vicky Swindoll killed in plane crash

[@wavwarrior2002]

Hey everyone! I will be interviewing actress Kim Zimmer (Reva) on Friday for Vizion Online Magazine (patrickvizionmagazine.weebly.com). The video will be up on KZbin for your viewing pleasure. Does anyone have any questions that they would like to ask? Deadline for questions will be Thursday night. Thanks Patrick Monroe Executive Entertainment Editor

[@silenthillmaster755]

What happened to GL? why is the camera so...like...bad? Not in one spot, kinda like a home video, why happened?

[@laminage]

@PantherJM15 Do you realize the Mistake that GA made when he saw CJH. First he shakes Fletcher Reade's Hand, and when Fletcher says how sorry he was about Alan, he says "Thanks Buzz"

[@Agaravalia1]

CBS should just drop the talk and game shows that have replaced our CBS soap opera's and bring them back!! I miss watching this show!

[@StanBennet]

It seemed like Roger Thorpe always had great lines, and even his "down" scenes seem to have more of a purpose than filling time. The plot always went forward when he was on the screen while other characters just seemed to dwell there unless they were being used by Roger. When he came back from the dead in the 70's to haunt his ex and get his daughter, that was well ahead of its time, copied by others repeatedly, not to mention very thrilling even as a kid to view.

[@marctheark]

They should have done more nostalga in the beginning and at the end. But thats Ellen Wheeler for you.

[@ewuniunia]

RIP Guiding Light

[@ДиманВолгапкин]

well,who can watch all serieses?

[@djintheatl]

Roger Thorpe is the best daytime character ever!

[@QonOUTview]

the opening was good!

[@laminage]

@WIZZINGSHIRE I would have loved for Mel to have found someone new who tried Online Dating. Leah should have gone away to School. Jeffrey came back to town and realized that it would always be Josh and Reva, so he gives his blessing for them to go away but he keeps Colin and moves back to Washington. Jason, Kevin, and Clarissa come to visit and Christina gets a Scholarship to Study Medicine. Vicky, Nick, Alan Michael and Amanda come back for a visit and Fletcher and Alex marry.

[@crystalriverq]

Oh my, that is just not true. There were many great SL since then. I loved Danny and Michelle Santos, a really romantic SL.

[@549621jon]

i like how the have 72 names.

[@jtaylor1mybaby]

LMAO i love remy and christina

[@86thislove]

They changed this show so much that I'm glad it's finished. I stopped watching after Tammy left

[@djintheatl]

@laminage He says "Thanks a bunch."

[@PantherJM15]

@laminage Oh wow! They did mess that up! I still miss the show.

[@HorseLover1251]

omg i live in iceland and we are so much behind you there is the show not done and reva don't look fat OMG who are these ppl i don't know half these ppl :OOOOOOOOO

[@KassidyKatherine]

FLETCHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@StanBennet]

Ran digital and ran as cheaply as possible. I don't even think they used lighting (ironically for a show called the "Guiding Light."

[@orationi]

I'm sorry but I used to watch this daily for about 7 or 8 years, and the last few years just SUCKED! I completely stopped watching 2 and a half years ago.

[@meldecite]

so like no more GL ever like it over done with they just wrapped everything up quick with olivia and nat. blake and frank. and buzz and everyone that is sad.

[@WIZZINGSHIRE]

@laminage would have been nice to have seen ALL of the spauldings at alans goodbye.this ending simply proved why the writing staff killed GL.it was horrible.i would love to somehow ressurect it but without my man alan,its just not GL.and that crappy music!!!!! HATED IT!!! and the scenes around town,bad.it looked like a little hick town.studio scenes were much better even though they got cheap with those also.you ever compare the sets from the 80's and 90's to what they were in the last few years

[@heathermonroe1366]

The worst theme song in Guiding Light's history

[@WIZZINGSHIRE]

i didnt really like the final episode.too sloppy.when reva and josh drove off,they should have had jeffret looking at them drive off from afar,smile and then walk away.HELL,I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THIS SHOWS HEAD WRITER AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER!!!!!
