For me, there was no one better than the GREAT Michael Zaslow. As a teenager, I had a HUGE crush on him. Loved the Roger Thorpe vs. Alan Spaulding storyline. Although, Alan was rich, powerful & influential, Roger ALWAYS managed to have Alan in the palm of his hand.(lol) This made Roger even more sexy to me as an amorous teenage girl at the time. I'll never forget writing a fan letter to the CBS Network for Michael and later receiving a lovely, authentic signed photo with a kind message. I was completely blown away and I treasured that photo with every part of my being. Everything I've ever heard &/or read of Michael Zaslow described him as a kind & caring man, which was quite different from his character of Roger Thorpe. He was a wonderful & very convincing actor. He, and Anthony Herrera's character of James Steinbeck on ATWT represented the two ABSOLUTE BEST and MOST deliciously villainous & exciting villains on daytime tv for me. Of course, Roger was always my very favorite of the two. Michael's portrayal of Roger Thorpe was OUTSTANDING, and his storyline always kept me interested and glued to the tv set. Michael Zaslow was absolutely GREAT, and I'll always remember his Roger Thorpe character as one of the greatest characters of daytime tv. He is sorely missed. God bless you ALWAYS Michael Zaslow. ❤❤

I did not know that the American continent had common tv shows nor common radio stations / networks...(???) .. "Guiding Light" is a landmine is U.S. television and radio history would have been much more precise to say. (But for the rest, the narrator is right, I really miss most of the non existing anymore daytime and nighttime U.S. soaps.

I loved it when Bridget had Baby Peter. And she and the little boy who portrayed little Peter looked like they loved each other. I used to be a member of Guiding Light Fan Club and I think it was in 1995 the little boy was at a Fan Club gathering and he was sitting with Melissa and printing his autograph. He started on the show as an infant and stayed until he was around Four. He was Roger Thorpe's Grandson. And I LOVED Michael Zaslow. The robotic voice got all of the names wrong.

ME TOO!!! I loved it!!!

My parents separated in 1975 and per my mom, who started a part time afternoon job, my brother and I had to come in the house and stay inside after school. I started watching Guiding Light!! I was 10! I stuck with the show pretty consistently until the end. Now I've been watching General Hospital for 10 years!

My Mama started following this show first on Radio, and didn’t miss it until its last show! When VCRs became a thing in every home , Mama had a tape that was just for “Her Stories!” Everyone knew not to call during her stories cause she won’t answer!!!! When my oldest brother and his best friend were teenagers (long before I was born) late 50s, they took a straight pin to the antenna wire that ran up the wall behind the TV and interrupted the tv transmission, completely scrambling the picture. Mama came unglued on those boys, the story is legendary in the family. I recently talked with the guy who’s really family and reminisced about the story, he’s in his 80s and is still very proud of that stunt!!! Mama’s there in Heaven with all her favorite Soap Stars, and I’m happy for her! We shared these stories at her funeral! Rest in Peace all!
