Say goodbye to your stories... well, the story of Josh and Reva at least. Guiding Light is going off the air after 72 years and many story lines only a soap opera could embrace (cloning! time travel!). The Daily News gives the farewell a double article treatment; one focusing on GL's late writer (the "mother of stories") Irna Phillips, and the other on the show's final days as it leaves the airwaves. They note that audiences may not have time for hour-long shows anymore, and As the World Turns may be the next victim of our busy schedules.
