GL Canceled!
Soap Opera Digest has learned that the cast and crew of GUIDING LIGHT were
notified today that yes, the 72-year-old show has been canceled and will turn
out the light on Sept. 18. "Being on the air for more than seven decades is
truly remarkable, and it will be difficult for all of us at the show to say
goodbye," said Executive Producer Ellen Wheeler in a statement. "I'm proud of
everything we've been able to do, including outstanding storytelling, our
community service around the country with Find Your Light and the launch of our
new production model. This show has such a rich history, wonderful fans, and I'm
honored to have been a part of the GL legacy."
Adds GH Executive Producer Jill Farren Phelps, who helmed GL from 1991-95:
"GUIDING LIGHT has a very special place in my heart. I began my career in
daytime there as a production assistant and later returned as executive
producer. It was a privilege (both times) to be a part of such a fabulous group
of people who did such outstanding work. Some of the most talented actors,
writers and directors have walked through the doors of GUIDING LIGHT. The
industry will mourn the loss of this beloved show, but GUIDING LIGHT leaves a
rich legacy for all of us in daytime to treasure. I wish all my dear friends a
gentle landing."
