@TimsDale4ever Guiding Light actually started on radio in 1937. It didn't hit TV until 1952.

Uh..... David Carnary said the show was older than him? He wasn't 40 here?.... Love this tribute by CBS for one of it's own shows -- imagine that? Soaps were just so good back then even though I didn't watch this one after 1982. Didn't quit get why some of the people who were not ever a part of this show were chosen to speak -- Bradaen, Cooper, Fulton, Canary.... After 40 broadcast years you would think there would be tons of people to speak who actually were a part of this show. Oh well.

Isn't it hard to believe that Beth would play Irna Phillips when the show celbrated it's 70th Anniversary. Someone said that Reese Witherspoon would have been perfect to guest star as Agnes Nixon, Irna's Protege.

@themirrorsofmymind Actually Bolger was the adult recast Philip, from 1985 to sometime in 1986. Grant came back to the role in the last half of 1986. Of course, the original Philip was Jarrod Ross who played the character from it's inception in 1977 to 1981.

Yeah, thats what I meant. It never, EVER, occurred to me that Grant might be a RECAST! Whenever I hear the name Phillip Spaulding I automatically think of Grant Alexander. Just like when I hear Alan-Michael I always think Rick Hearst!
Sweet sexy rick hearst
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

In the 'romantic' montage of clips, I noticed India and Philip, but it isn't Grant Alexander, it's John Bolger.
I wish I could have seen John back then. He looks GOOD!

Does anyone know the name of that tune that was playing from 3:57-5:34? It sounds so cool.

Aw, Jeanne Cooper got her wish to appear on GL! What a classy lady, to fly to NJ on her own dime to be part of the final week of filming and bring Christian LeBlanc with her.
