Additional Comments: I miss all of the characters and actors - even the ones I disliked. I want to know what's going on in Springfield; who's sleeping with whom; how's Sarah doing; are Holly and Ed back from their trip; are Alex and Fletch having a good time.

I also miss the posts from all you guys and gals out there. Damn CBS and P&G!

I keep coming back here too. Usually I'm looking to see if they're going to start rerunning the show on youtube or hulu. I'm hoping that actually works out. I miss the show terribly. I recently caught an entire week of shows of Y&R just to see if I was missing out on anything. I wasn't. I used to watch Y&R and love every minute of it years ago, now I watch it and I fail to see what's so interesting about it. I guess the point is, it was GL for me or nothing.

I know what you mean. I just can't really get interested in the other soaps. I think that years from now when people look back and wonder what happened to the soaps and why they're all gone, they will realize that the demise of GL was the death rattle of the soap genre. I doubt that five years from now there will be any soaps left. eom/kk

I know! It's so sad. And I'm still checking the board every day and missing my old "friends" both on the show and on the board. I'm not watching any other soaps. I've replaced my morning GUIDING LIGHT time with GLEE, Dancing With The Stars, and 24 on DVD :(

I come back here every day to see what's been posted, and just today I was looking at the TV schedule and thinking how strange that there's no GL. I really miss it. Haven't started watching any other soaps and am barely still watching OLTL. There's no replacing GL.

It is so sad to see how the postings have dropped off. This board made GL so much more enjoyable. My mom and I used to discuss GL and AMC. Since she passed away I have loved coming here and mostly lurking but nonetheless enjoying the snide comments and speculations and gossip. I am barely watching AMC anymore. It, too, has gone downhill and I certainly expect it to be cancelled after the move to LA. I've tried to watch Y&R and just can't get interested in it. Same with OLTL. eom/kk

And for some unknown reason I keep coming back here. sigh. Like I'm going to see an update of what's happening on a show that's not on anymore, and be surprised to find it is actually on, and the cancellation was a bad dream??

Ugh. I did actually dream the other night that I was talking to a good friend of mine who also watched GL...and she told me it was airing on Lifetime....didn't I know? Lifetime bought it, had moved to a new studio and everyone was on there...

Then I woke up from my dream and have been in the dumps ever since. Ugh.

Me, too. I keep coming back here to reconnect with old friends, posters, characters, etc. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one!

nathan1- I keep coming back here, too. Expecting....something. Something that won't come, but still. I miss the show, the characters, everything about GL. And the posters here.
