Marlena De Lacroix is a well respected soaps journalist who has a rich history in the daytime drama arena. Her insight is always the best and her veteran status always prompts her to share memories of working with the many high profile industry insiders she has come into contact with over the years in order to drive home her point. Her fabulous anecdotes are just part of the reason her column is always a great read.
While commenting on the possible demise of the Guiding Light, De Lacroix delivered an anecdote related to a soap being axed years ago and then had this to say about the Guiding Light and the shows remarkable tenure on both the soaps radio airwaves and the television grid:
That cancellation would affect everyone in the soap community. Chances are, if you are a longtime soap watcher, you watched and loved Guiding Light at some point, or you watch and love it now. So many generations of fantastic soap actors have passed through the show. Over six decades of its remarkable life on TV and radio, the town of Springfield has been a very real place. Losing GL would not only be the loss of a media institution, it would be the loss of a piece of America that belongs to all of us. The way its very human drama has reflected life in America all these decades, it is us.
Do read her full article here and just run out and get yourself a Jessica Leccia Virgin Mary statue because it can't hurt to pray at this point.
