I used to tape my favorites and watch at night. One Life to Live and The Guiding Light. Asa on One Life To Live was my favorite character.
ABC canned both “One Life to Live” and “All My Children” earlier in the decade for some crap (one was a cooking talk show called “The Chew”, which has since been cancelled). There was enough of an outcry that an independent production group took over and filmed new shows to run online, but then the plug got pulled after they aired a number of them. Since GH is set in the same universe as AMC and OLTL, on occasion you’ll have a character from one or the other show up. They’ve had Nora Buchanan from OLTL popping up from time to time working as a defense attorney for shady characters.
I never watched “The Guiding Light”, couldn’t get into it. It’s curious it started off on the radio in the 1930s as a religious soap opera.
