Guiding Light!

[DisneyFreaks]

Yep, I've watched my whole life. I grew up with these characters (I'm 36). The writers have killed it, and rumor is that they did it on purpose. It is sickening.
It was announced last week that it is not being picked up by someone else-so in about 6 wks GL will officially be over.

This just sickens me. I can remember my late Mom listening to GL on the radio! (I'm really dating myself here ) They seem to be starting a few new storylines so that's why I was wondering if they had been picked up somewhere. This just sucks. I feel for everyone on that show. I hope they find work elsewhere so we see them again but it just won't seem the same if they are playing "someone else" ya know?
