The sweet memories of a 72 year old soap opera still lives on in the hearts of many fans and not only fans by the way, but the very stars of the show. This year would’ve been the 80th anniversary of ‘Guiding Light’ on the air, unfortunately we have the memory of a sad cancellation anniversary. On April 1, 2009 what is recognized worldwide as April Fools Day, it was announced that CBS had cancelled ‘Guiding Light’ after a 72 year run. While it was months after that the show aired it’s final episode on September 18, 2009 – the memory of losing the show still lives with many viewers.
Viewers are not the only one who misses the show and hold hope for some return of the show in a web version or other wise. Fan favorite Robert Newman [ex-Josh] reflects on the show and highlights that he still misses it. Newman shared to his Facebook account a ‘GL’ cast photo as he reflected: “8 years ago today we at Guiding Light received notice of cancellation. It was April Fools Day but no joke. 72 years. 15,762 episodes. Still miss it…” Shortly after, he gave fans a little “comfort food” from his dressing room at ‘Perfect Crime’ – check it out below!
