Since the days of getting off the school bus at 3 pm, and having only one channel on the television to watch (yes, I was raised in the back of the beyond), I have been a fan of "Guiding Light." I have lived through Lucille Wexler, Amanda, Diane Ballard, Kelly, Morgan . . . through Nola and Quint, and the first Alexandra Spaulding . . . still remember Trish Lewis, Roxie Shane, Rusty Shane, Bert Bauer, Rita Bauer . . . Billy and Vanessa . . . Josh and Reva . . . the Reardons . . . ah, and then I got addicted to "As The World Turns" and am delighted, when I get to see it now, when the older characters (Nancy Stuart, Lisa, Bob and Kim) still show up. Unfortunately, work and life no longer allows me to watch these shows. But, once in a while, I can tune in, and it is so easy to slip back into the stories and lives of these interesting old soaps.
