Always thought it was so interesting that the background in the opening was more like a sunburst of waves, and the background in the closing was more like a slowly turning sparkling jewel. Both so beautiful. Truly this show's most amazing and beautiful title card in therir 57 year history.
Guiding Light always had the best theme songs. This one was the best of all soaps of all time. This was the best era of Guiding Light by far! Magical. Gail Kobe and Pamela K. long rocked this soap.
They dismantled the Bauers - Mike, Hilary, Hope and Ed and the Reardons.They both shifted the focus to the Lewis especially Reva Lewis which they should not have done. .... Never get rid of a core family like Hughes & Stewarts on As The World Turns or Hortons on Days of Our Lives..
I will agree with all of especially, kgrkid...this was the BEST theme ever!!! WHY did they screw it up and change it!!! As kgrkid writes; "One should not mess with perfection." They also got rid of Gail Kobe who was the best Executive Producer the show ever had. Douglas Marland and Pamela K. Long were terrific Head Writers during that time too. Then Jill Farren Phelps RUINED GL by killing off Maureen Bauer, and Ellen Wheeler and David Kreizman buried it for good. I miss GL.
I remember a storyline about this white-haired woman named "Susan Piper" and another storyline about this apparition of a female that appeared in this house. That's all I remember.
Beverlee McKinsey leaving the show killed it. Even though it limped on for many more years, her void was never really filled.

I really miss these classic days especially this time of year in the Fall when you'd be home from school and could tune into the soaps.

This was the BEST "Guiding Light" theme music ever!
Too bad the people at P&G overtooled with this theme so many times
One should not mess with perfection

It was pretty good...The show was so good in the 80s, not sure why they had to ruin it the way they did.
