Even though I just watch "Days", I do happen to have an Irna Phillips Guiding Light script from 1937. I'll be posting it later today as a tribute to GL's 72-year run.

A: "Daytime TV has always tried to stay on the edge of cultural change," says Barbara Bloom, senior vice president of CBS daytime entertainment. "While some viewers have told us this makes them a little uncomfortable, most have said they identify with the characters' need to fall in love."...

CZ: You wrote for a long time for ATWT under the helm of daytime legend Douglas Marland? How was it working with him? CZ: Why did you leave OLTL in 2004? CZ: Would you like writing for a soap again someday? "Guiding Light" is getting cancelled. Can you see a future for daytime soaps?

The next thing I know, I’m planning my day around the show and sampling other serials as well. By the time Luke and Laura’s wedding on General Hospital became a national fixation, I was a soap snob. “You should check out Marco and Karen on One Life to Live,” I would tell soap novices. “Now that’s a...

Betrayed lovers, angry glances, "who's your daddy' dialogue - it's just part of the daily grind at "All My Children," one of New York's longest-running soap operas. The details of this murderous scene are under wraps until May sweeps, though you can probably guess the general idea. Here at...

Other Soap Cities have felt the hit even more deeply than Pine Valley. CBS recently announced that it would pull "Guiding Light" off the air this September -- after 72 years of daily episodes. And NBC laid off Deidre Hall, a mainstay of "Days of Our Lives" for 32 years.

It’s been 10 years since Another World went off the air, but now, thanks to a cool new Web site, the beloved soap is back from the dead.

ATWT had the spinning globe from 56-81 Interestingly,Guiding Light was one show that did change its opening quite regularly. Also,with the move towards shorter openings,a quick title card would work eg the spinning globe,title ATWT and a snatch of music

CZ: Your mother (Beverlee McKinsey) played the legendary character of Alexandra Spaulding. What could you tell us about her portrayal of the Grande Dame of Springfield? CZ: Her pairing with late Michael Zaslow (ex-Roger) was very popular. What do you think was the dynamic of the duo?

CZ: You are best known for your role as Connor Walsh on "As The World Turns" from 1990 to 1997. What can you say about this role? CZ: You must know that "Guiding Light" has just been cancelled. Do you still watch some soaps? Can you imagine a future for daytime soaps?

I have a really fun fabulous idea and since Elles is such a good actress. I think Elles should appear in the final episodes of GL as the ghost from Springfield past named Irna Phillips LOL. This is the scenario that the lighthouse and the town of Springfield are about to be demolished for a new to...

TC: I always wanted to be a soap writer, going back to junior high. There were always soap on in my house growing up, in pretty much every room. I never wanted to write anything else. I grew up loving Michael Malone's first run on OLTL, Nancy Curlee on GL, Bill Bell on Y&R. I loved Donna Swajeski...

Deidre Hall and Drake HogestynJeff Katz/NBCOn Wednesday, "Days of Our Lives" announced that it was firing two of the soap's biggest stars: Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn. I was shocked and saddened by the news. Can you imagine the town of Salem without Marlena (aka "Doc") and John?

to sum up: losses: Coop, Ashlee, Doris, Natalia, Dylan, Daisy Grady, Remy additions: Jesse, Nick, Phillip, Alan-Michael, Marah short-term: India, Ed I would try to get Krista Tesreau and Tom Pelphrey to make appearances as Mindy and Jonathan.

William Andrews, who is now running the Springfield Paper gets the news and plasters it all over the paper. His sleazy style of writing and avoidance for the truth reminds citizens of Warren Andrews, his father. Rick is in a world of trouble as witnesses step up and different evidence begins...
