Shayne fans the clip is of Shayne talking to Josh on GL 12/22/08 at the bar.



The finale tribute to Guiding Light at this years Daytime Emmy Awards. Guiding Light airs it's final episode on CBS on September 18th, 2009 after being on for 72 years. The show has filmed over 16,000 episodes.

Some of the highlight clips include the 2008 Bauer BBQ ( clips are in my collection). Bert ( Charita Bauer) and Papa Bauer talking. Reva baptizing herself as the slut of Springfield in front of Josh. Bert helping Josh in his wheelchair. Holly talking to Meg when she was first born. Jonathon sobbing at Tammy's bedside after she died. Buzz saying goodbye to Coop ( which I have in my collection). Maureen yelling at Ed for his affair with Lillian. Roger and Holly arguing. Tammy's funeral. The Fifth Street Fire. Lillian discovering that she has breast cancer. Olivia and Natalia's groundbreaking kiss.

The curtain pulls back and the cast appears as they are lead out by Kim Zimmer ( Reva ) and Robert Newman ( Josh ). Robert has been on GL for over 28 years. Tina Sloan ( Lillian ) has been on for 26 years. The camera does way too quick of a pan as it shows a glimpse of the rest of the cast members. For Cyrus fans: Murray Bartlett is in the very back row beside EJ Bonilla ( Rafe ), Lawrence Saint Victor ( Remy ) and Gina Tognoni ( Dinah). Jeff Branson ( Shayne ) is on the very far right side.

The tribute was bittersweet, heartbreaking and so final. It's the last time we will see our beloved cast on the same stage again. I found it too short. I wish that GL had been given a longer tribute since it is the longest airing show in broadcast history. Thank you so much to the wonderful cast and crew of Guiding Light for the last 72 years. I have enjoyed Guiding Light for almost 26 years personally. Guiding Light will never dim in my heart or memory. It will always have a special place.
