If, by the end of the show Reva and Josh are not together, I am going to be soooooo unhappy!!!! I just don't see how they could end the show any other way...they HAVE to be together!

The last show airs today. We'll see what happens. I'm going to avoid spoilers until I get home tonight to watch it. They at least have made an effort to bring back veterans if only briefly. Yesterday Ed, Holly, and Fletcher were on. I couldn't believe it when Fletcher walked through the door. Marj Dusay who plays Alexandra Spaulding has been excellent these last few days. All the final old school pairings of Billy/Vanessa, Philip/Beth, Holly/Ed, Buzz/Lillian, and Alex/Fletcher are at least somewhat satisfying. I don't think I really believe it's gone.

Well, it's over

Let me know what you think!

It was rushed but I still bawled. I actually liked the Reva/Josh driving away past the lighthouse, very appropriate and they are back together so you should be happy! I figured the Mindy/Rick thing would happen, and I'm glad all the characters are settled. Although the most poignant moment for me came yesterday when Fletcher walked through the door for Alex. I was never a big fan of his character but I thought that was a great throwback to the heydey of GL for me (the early 90's when the show was dominated by Roger/Holly/Ed/Blake/Ross/Fletcher/Alex). It's been a hell of a 72 years, no storyline will ever go on that long again. I hope there is some sort of best of DVD release. "This has been Guiding Light."

Just happened to remember today was the last show. Glad I got to see it end.

Was Flectcher the grey haired dude?

It was great to see Mindy again. I always thought she was the most beautiful
girl on the show. She hadn't changed much at all. Actually I was surprised how
little she (Mindy), Josh and Blake had changed in looks over time.

A few questions:

1. Was Blake, Roger Thorpe's daughter? And didn't he also have a son?

2. Were any of the Bowers shown this last week except Rick? Remember
the doctor and the lawyer?

3. What about the Chamberlands? Did Vanessa make an appearance?

4. What about Ross Marler(SP?)?

And for the record Ialways thought Reva was too old for Josh. And that
dress she wore at the end of the show didn't do her any favors.

Yes.

A few questions:

1. Was Blake, Roger Thorpe's daughter? And didn't he also have a son?

Yes. Yes Hart, he died on the show. Roger's character was killed off off screen a couple of years ago. Pathetic, but at least GL finally realized they needed to honor Michael Zaslow's portrayl despite the fact the actor had already been dead for many years.

2. Were any of the Bowers shown this last week except Rick? Remember
the doctor and the lawyer?

Mike Bauer the lawyer hasn't been on even before I was born in '78. Ed Bauer was the doctor and he was on the last couple of weeks where he reunited with Holly (Roger and Ed often fought over Holly).

3. What about the Chamberlands? Did Vanessa make an appearance?

Yes, she remarried Billy Lewis on Wednesday's episode. Henry, her father, died on the show and the actor in real life some years ago, don't remember exactly when.

4. What about Ross Marler(SP?)?

The actor who played him had a contract dispute with the show a few years ago and he was written off presumed dead in a plane crash. In fact he was still alive which left an opportunity for him to return. The actor has been working on One Life to Live and when he heard about GL cancellation he asked the producers to let him go back and film some scenes for GL to resolve him and Blake. They said no since they are on competing networks. A shame all around.

And for the record Ialways thought Reva was too old for Josh. And that
dress she wore at the end of the show didn't do her any favors.

She's gained a lot of weight in the past few years, although I think she and the actor who plays Josh are around the same age, he's just doesn't seem to age! The last two weeks of the show are available on cbs.com/guidinglight if you want to see some of the Vanessa scenes and so forth.

If my husband had come home while I was watching it he surely would have thought something tragic had happened seeing as I was crying so much. Its sad that its over of course but the only thing I really cared about was R&J...I'm beyond happy that they are back together. I'm going to miss them.

It's raining here for the first time in weeks! It's Minnesota though, and September, we could be having snow. It's been beautiful here the last couple weeks though, in the '70s and sunny. We have such a short summer, it's nice to extend it into September.

It was just before dawn
one miserable morning in black 'forty four
When the forward commander
was told to sit tight
when asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the generals gave thanks
as the other ranks held back
the enemy tanks for a while
And the Anzio bridghead
was held for the price of
a few hundred ordinary lives.

And kind old King George
sent mother a note
when he heard that father had gone.
It was, as I recall
in the form of a scroll,
with gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
in a drawer of old photgraphs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow dim to remember
His Magesty signed
with his own rubber stamp.

It was dark all around
there was frost on the ground
when the Tigers broke free.
And no one survived
from Royal Company C.
They were all dead,
the rest of them lay dying.
And that's how the High Command
took my daddy from me.
