After 70+ years, the light on television's longest running soap, The Guiding Light, will finally be extinguished. The show which started as a radio show has entertained generations of loyal fans. Although I haven't watched the show in years, who can ever forget the Josh and Reva love affair, the Bauers' struggle with alcoholism, and the conniving Alan Spauling's antics? And whatever happened to characters like Bert Bauer who could offer advice on every subject known to mankind?
The Guiding Light follows other soap operas like Another World and The Edge of Night which have also been cancelled. Naturally, the best trivia regarding The Edge of Night is that the skyline featured at the beginning of the show is our very own Cincinnati! Just watch the opening credits!
