Michael Logan on the GUIDING LIGHT Rumors

TV Guide's Michael Logan has weighed in on the GUIDING LIGHT cancellation rumors that TV Week stirred up on Sunday evening. Here's an excerpt.

Yet there’s been every reason to hold out hope. Bloom made a visit to the set of GL just a few weeks ago and — my moles tell me — strongly intimated that the soap would be getting a renewal. Even before that there was a growing sense of excitement behind the scenes, what with the return of fan fave Grant Aleksander (Phillip) and the feverish audience response to the latent-lesbian storyline involving Olivia (Crystal Chappell) and Natalia (Jessica Leccia). And, earlier this month, the soap took several cast members to shoot on location at Universal Studios theme park in Orlando, and flew in a bunch of press to cover the event. Thus, it’s no surprise that the TV Week report is said to have thrown GL executive producer Ellen Wheeler for one hell of a loop.

It’s not my intention to paint an inaccurately rosy picture here. For all I know, GL is as dead as Harry Truman. But do keep in mind that nothing has been officially decided here. And miracles do happen.

  1. Thanks for posting this info! GL has worked so hard to make it's comeback. The show is amazing right now. The best on TV period. The ratings have been improving and people are energized about it.

    Thanks for the Otalia award!
