My great-aunt (who passed a few years ago) babysat me every day when I was a small child and summers after I started school, and she was an avid GL fan. We watched it together every day. Every time I catch a glimpse of GL or hear a mention of it, it brings me wonderful memories of my Aunt Dodie.The Budgeting Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826321465370070113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614549520973526083.post-2033314817998375192009-04-05T20:16:00.000-04:002009-04-05T20:16:00.000-04:00I know GL's demise has been discussed for years bu...I know GL's demise has been discussed for years but, after awhile, you just think it'll go on forever. I'm sure they'll have all kinds of retrospectives in the weeks leading up to the end.Lynn Irwin Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902088926070471878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614549520973526083.post-28441298003230123692009-04-02T20:52:00.000-04:002009-04-02T20:52:00.000-04:00I watched Guiding Light for years when I was young...I watched Guiding Light for years when I was younger and through my college days. After that, I've watched in off and on, but the last time I saw it was about a year and a half ago (I would have the CBS soaps on in the background when I was working from home - no cable in the basement!). Even though i haven't watched it since then, I am saddened to hear that it's ending.Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838072651419264066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614549520973526083.post-56011275202564733562009-04-02T18:06:00.000-04:002009-04-02T18:06:00.000-04:00Yes, that's what happened to me -- life got in the...Yes, that's what happened to me -- life got in the way and I had to pick and choose what was more important. Occasionally, I've turned GL on, just to see familiar faces -- but then had no idea what they were talking about! I'll still miss it being there -- it's like the end of an era.Lynn Irwin Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902088926070471878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4614549520973526083.post-47382809692661477882009-04-02T17:28:00.000-04:002009-04-02T17:28:00.000-04:00I used to watch All My Children - started watching...I used to watch All My Children - started watching it when it first started. And then One Life to Live and General Hospital. Who can forget Luke and Laura and their wedding? I was in nursing school then and was on clinical the days of the wedding. Our instructor let us go into patients' rooms to watch with them.<BR/><BR/>My daughter got me watching Guiding Light for a while, but I never got too much into it. I think she still Tivo's it.<BR/><BR/>It's been a long time since I watched any soaps. Life got in the way, I guess, and I just never went back.<BR/><BR/>Soon they'll all be gone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
