Elizabeth & Brendan

So the Guiding Light is one of the original soap operas is going off the air this week.  As a child, I remember my mother watching this show as well as Ann.  I continued to watch it but added Days of Our Lives into the mix.  But at heart I am a CBS soap fan.

So I started to watch GL again last week and thanks to the Internet, I am fully caught up on the newer characters and it is like I have been watching forever.  Reva is still around as well as Rick and Philip.  Heck even Melinda Sue is back.  So I am back to watching GL and will bid it farewell on Friday.

There is one memory I have of watching Guiding Light with Ann that for some reason I remember.  I had to have been around 6 or 7 and we were watching GL.  Rick Bauer and Roxie Shayne (Reva’s sister who is now in a mental institution) had spent the night in someone else’s bed and all of a sudden said person was coming home.  So they had to get up and change the sheets.  Now remember I am 6 or 7 so I turn to Ann and ask, “Why are they changing the sheets?”  Ann replies “They probably made a mess and need to change the sheets.”  But me being me, I pushed it further with “But they just slept in the bed.  What mess did they make?”  I don’t know Ann’s response to that last bit.   I understand now why they wanted to change the sheets.
