This is a great love story. I hate to see the show end and I do hope that they wrap up a lot of the stories.

[Karen]

WOW! That is great news. These ladies compliment each other in their acting. I've watched GL for 50 years and will miss it greatly. I am glad they have the guts to work "outside the box". Venice will begin with a huge fan base! Great job with the Otalia s/l ladies.

Love the Otalia story line. Can't wait for Venice. Guiding light will be missed. Crystal Chappell is the awesome to watch.

[Sue]

Thanks for the article. Crystal Chappell is doing the work of her career this year and is on top of her game in her profession. The more venues this gifted actress gets in a shrinking industry the better. Hope the on-line show Venice is a sucess!
Let everyone know when the show debuts.

[Margaret]

I don't hold out much hope at this late date that the soap opera will be saved but I pride myself as probably if not the oldest, one of the oldest fans of this show. I, as a young child, wud tell my Mom I had a stomach ached so I cud stay home from school and listen to Guiding Light on the radio. You do the math, I'm 76 yrs old and this is when I was six!

[sheri stclair]

i love the story line and i also will miss the soap. these two ladies really look good together.i love chappell's eyes beautiful lady.

[thurman marcum]

I think it should stay on.It is the oldest show on television. It is sad,it like seeing a old friend die.Put it on the web if you have to.I hope it last a hundred years.

[Emma Spencer]

This will not be a continuation of Otalia. Is everyone aware of this?

[live light]
