What happened to guiding light?

Question

i used to watch it everyday with cassy & edmund getting married, & jb falling down the steps, & him & tammy would get back together again off & on. it was great. now when i turn it on it's like reva's in this small town & there's a cheesy theme song. & here's the kicker, there's a bunch of fat chicks. what happened to everyone? what the h**l is on my tv?!

Answer 1

boy you have missed alot--

Laura wright who played Cassie left the show for GH at least 3 yrs ago- they broke cassie and edmund up and she was with Jeffery for a while till she learned he lied to her and then cassie married josh and jeffery is with reva

GL fired "edmund/danny/ michelle "a bout 3yrs ago although Edmund has been brought back twice for very short runs-- the actor who played Edmund has mainly been doing plays ( I am on his fansite and was a big cassie/edmund fan )  They made Edmund evil again- he is currently in a coma in San Cristobel-

The producer/writers decided to go for a New look for the show to appeal to the Teen audience- they use Handheld cameras and film on Real locations mainly instead of sets ( makes it look and sound cheap doesn't it?)  

The GL budget has been slashed several times- actors leave

The actors who played gus and harley left and now are at AMC-

the actor who played Ross is on OLTL

They killed Tammy off and the actor who played Jonathon left ( although he has been back a couple times)

I quit watching totally when they killed off Gus and wrote harley out--

I was a 10+ yr watcher-  

Answer 2

aw they are cute

Answer 3

Tell me about it, GL used to be my favorite soap opera next to Y&R (couldn't resist Shemar Moore), and I loved to watch Reva and Josh together. Plus they had Mr. Roger Thorpe, Cat Speaks (portrayed by Nia Long) and David Grant (Monte Sharpe), when all of that was over with, GL died off real hard. It is so sad to see it just go from booming to boring. I got out of it over six years ago after I graduated from high school and got back into daytime CBS. When I got to GL, I just saw how jaded it looked and that Reva and Josh were not together, and I just said well i know from now on that my drama stops after ATWT. d**n I hate what they've done to GL, I have a feeling that it's going to be just like Passions in several more years: cancelled.
