I loved GL. I am angry they chose to end the show. Why would they chose this show after 72 years. Ever since Philip came back it was so intense. I am glad Allan died in piece and of course Josh and Reva are soul mates for life. All the people ended up with the partner that they belong with. That was cool. Rick and Mindy, Beth and Philip, Ed and Holly, Frank and Blake, awesome.

I hate to see the show go off the air, I have been watching for years, it was one of the best. I think that it ended good. It had a happy ending, everyone was with the one that they should have been with especially Josh and Reva. I wish all the actors the best of luck and hope that they will find another soap opera to appear on. They were all fine actor.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

I have watched GL since Nola rode a firetruck to her wedding it will very much be missed however I must have missed something because the last I saw Jeffery was still chasing Edmund and Jonathan knew he was still alive what happened ? I guess he’s still chasing him but I find it hard to believe that he would never come back to Reva and Colin or that Jonathan wouldn’t eventually tell

man it is hard to believe the GL will not be on anymore i have been watching it for years i am 42 and that was all my mom watched. why not take the bold and the beauitful
off the air not the GL you guy’s i
am not supprise by it. sadly missed th GL
Comment added September 20th, 2009 at 8:26 am
I also don’t get the way the Jeffrey story “ends.” You know he’ll want to see his son again and Reva will think Jonathan betrayed him that he didn’t take her out of her grief when he knew she was mourning a live husband.

I am in mourning, I started watching the show when I was about 5 (I am 40 now)at the knee of my aunt.grew up with all the families on the light. I cried all last week and it just seems so sad. I will miss the show very much. It was fitting to see Josh and Reva back together, just left me wanting more.
Comment added September 20th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I have cried all last week. I still cant believe that the show is over. I will miss Josh,Reva, Phillip,Rick,Frank and so many more. I have watched the show for 30 years and this past week has really been too much for me. It is a shame that it had to come to this. I wish everyone the best and hopefully they will appear in another one of CBS’s soaps.
Comment added September 21st, 2009 at 6:33 am
I have watched this show for over 35 years and have enjoyed these final weeks especially now that everyone is finally getting together.
One problem: Josh and Reva drive off with her little son, who is still too young to ride in the front seat of a truck.

will GL come back on in a year?

C’était un merveilleux soap. Je suis peinée que l’on ait retiré ce programme. J’espère qu’il y aura une suite à se soap bientôt.
Merci.

I grew up with that show. I grew up with the four muskateers Phillip, Beth, Rick and Mindy. I will really miss that show, it was the only soap I watched. It would have been nice to see Mindy and Rick married at the same time as Phillip and Beth.

I have watched GL since I was a child. I remembered rushing from school trying to make it home by 3:00EST to watch it. Even when I went to high school, college, and joined the military got stationed in Italy I had my family record it and send me VhS tapes weekly. I will miss the cast and crew. Through the years I have laughed and cried. This show has had some good and bad times. Thanks to the crew, cast, writers, and producers for all that you have done to make this a wonderful show. GL you will be sadly missed. Thank you and Good luck to all of you!

I think they should have used some of the finale story lines and continued on forever! Even the sets were better on the finale than they have been since changing a while back! I miss Guiding Light, I have watched it since I was just little! I am totally lost and missing my afternoon hour with all the G
uiding Light family! Love you guys!

Sad to see GL end. I keep hoping that another network will pick it up and we will have GL for another 72 years. Looking forward to seeing GL actors some time in the future.

AS the World is terrible. Bring back GL it is one of the best. No longer a CBS watcher
Comment added September 28th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
I honestly can’t fathom not watching GL. I have grown up have watched this show since i was about 10. I am 40 now. I will miss the show, the cast, they have become a family to my family.
I wish them all the best of luck, and I do hope that you will bring the show back. I think the choice to end it is a mistake you will come to regret.

My brother and sisters and I are saddened to see the show go. The four of us began watching the show with our grandparents who are now gone. In many ways this was our link to them. The show will be missed and so will Springfield Township. We do hope that some how some way Proctor and Gamble can get the show back on the air. Thank you.

I am 70 yrs. young. I have watched this show since the beginning, even radio. They were part of my every day life. Ratings arn’t that bad to take this show off the air. I miss this other family of mine more than I can say.
It was really bad when Harley & Gus left. I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE FFIRED THE WRITERS, THEY KILLED THE SHOW. NOT OUR BELOVED ACTORS & ACTRESS. .. BRING THEM BACK..Mary

I miss GL too! I just wished it could have gone on forever more. I blame Oprah Winfrey for buying the air time for that Game Show. She is taking over the TV she needs to be stopped. She brought the air time from Martha Show too. GL needs to be back on again. I now start supper early now. I turn off the TV at 2 oclock. I don’t watch AS THE WORLD TURNS anymore either I just watch the first two soaps. I am sad now. I feel like I lost apart of my family too. BRING BACK GL………………….! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been dying to see the end of my Guiding Light that I have watched forever. However, there were only 5 slides!!! Where is the 6th!~ I still didn’t see Reve and Josh at the end.
Please/thank you.
Comment added October 6th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
I will miss Guiding Light, I started watching it with my Great Grandmother as young child, it was kind of a tradition, if I had to work I taped it. My grandmother began listening to it on the radio. This was not just a show it was a family tradition. All thats on is reality TV and talk shows. Why even turn it on. I enjoyed the finale. Josh and Reva, Always, that is supposed to be how it is. Maybe CBS will get a brain and put it back on the air, maybe even prime time, I’d watch. Anyway I will miss the show and enjoyed it for 30 years faithfully.

Still have not goten use to GL being off the air!! I sure do miss it. I also have been watching it since I was a child along side my mom. I would think with all the public support you could bring the show back. WHO WANTS ANOTHER GAME SHOW!!
Comment added October 14th, 2009 at 8:00 am
I began watching this show when I was a child. I watched with both my Grandmother and my Mother. We used to watch ALL of the CBS Soaps, until all of the others became absolute GARBAGE. Guiding Light was ALWAYS our favorite throughout all of the years and now has become the ONLY Soap that we watch on this network. I can not fathome the reason for taking this show off the air after sssooo many years and aafter you have inheritted sssooo many dedictaed fans. This show WAS like another Family to my Family and I couldn’t disagree more with the decision to take this show off of the air. This is a HUGE mistake and I hope you regret it hrshly one day.

I’m so sad the show ended. I grew up with GL. I wish the crew the very best! Thankyou & God Bless

GL was a good soap, until it got a little cheesy with the settings and trying to add younger actors that were not that good. I miss GL as it was one of the best. I agree, there are a lot of other shows that could be axed instead of GL. Oh good, another game show.
Comment added October 17th, 2009 at 7:46 am
I have watched GL since I was a little girl. I watched it with my grandmother and mama and taking it off the air is a huge loss and has left a dark void in my day. Characters get revived all the time in soap land. I believe GL should be brought back and if one should be cancelled try looking at ATWT. For 53 years it has been part of my life. Shame on you CBS.
Comment added October 19th, 2009 at 8:28 am
im so not happy with the show ending it was one of the best shows on i think that they should have tried a little harder to make it stay on the air like just change the time it was on or something but its pretty cheesy they took it completey off and they dident show so much of what really happened to jeffrey i thought him and reva would have been together forever i wish they would have they made a good couple i think they should try and bring it back on the air its not to late.
Comment added October 19th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
I have been watching the show since I was a child. My best friend’s mom got me into it. It should stay on the air and continue. I will miss it big time. I’m glad about Phillip & Beth, Rick & Mindy and everyone from the show was great. The ending was great too. God Bless to all those in the show and all those that are gonna miss it.

Somebody from the show staff should capitalize on all of the Guiding Light interest before it wanes and write a paperback sequel to the saga. I would buy it!

I enjoyed the last show even though I miss it not seeing it every week. What happened to Jeffrey and Edmond and wished I could of seen Mindy and Rick and Philip and Beth get married that would of finished up storyline. But seeing it a year later was neat it tied everything together. I’ve enjoyed this show since the 78 tjill now. I wish it was still on the air . I hope you put this last sesaon on a DVD series soon. Thanks you.

I miss GL so much and it was my favorite soap. I’m so sad they took it off and I have watched GL for years. It started the year I was born 1937 and when a soap can run for 72 years I really can’t see why this is the one that was dropped. I just love Tom Pelphrey as Jonathan and would like to see him in a movie as he is such a great actor. Please bring it back.

Like a lot of people I grew up with this show. My mom was watching this before I was born. So total we make over 40 years. I loved this soap. It was the best out off all of the soaps. They shouldve canceled at the 100 year.. Hope they bring it back!!! I’m going to really miss this show. It was more than a show..
Comment added November 8th, 2009 at 8:51 am
I have watched GL since the 60’s. The characters do become part of your family. Didn’t care for the type of filming they have done the last couple of years - low budget? Otherwise, I have always LOVED GL - was my #1 show - taped it while I was working and watched at night. Favorite periods were with: Ed & Rita, Roger, Holly, Maureen, Mike. Another: Nola, Floyd, Kelly, Morgan, Reardons. Also, Phillip, Rick, Mindy, Beth. Santos’, Coopers. Harley, Gus and of course Reva & Josh. Loved the Lewis’ reign with HB, Billy, etc. Bert Bauer, HB, all the ‘older generation’. GL always had good values. Hope this is a mistake and CBS will bring this much loved story back. There are enough game shows, etc. TV is going downhill…

I began watching Guiding Light in 1990 in Belgium in the only U.S. channel there was. I’m so sad that it was taken off the air. I loved that show. Guiding Light and As the world turns were the only soap opera shows I watched when I come home from work. That was my past time. By the way, Jonathan was just on As the World turns yesterday. I hope to see more of the other actors and actresses in other shows.
Comment added November 17th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
I cannot believe that after 72 years there is no more Guiding Light. I have watched it or recorded it for 50 years now I remember as a child my grand parents always watching it as well as my mother I am very happy that Reva & Josh were finally together at the end they are the ones that made the show a success. I will miss the show alot
Comment added November 17th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I will be watching Days of Our Lives now. its a good one but not as good as Guiding Light. We most definately don’t need another freakin game show. What are you thinking CBS? Bring back GL or lose alot of CBS viewers….
