They HAD said that the set would be rebuilt. Unfortunately, that was before the cancellation.

I guess it's for the best, I'd hate to see a crappy Peapaked-ed version of what the old kitchen used to look like.

Surely, they must still have the old studio set in storage somewhere. If they dismantled it, then that's pure sacrilege.

To be honest, I've divorced the show currently on the air from my memories of GL's greatness so much that I don't particularly care what they do and I don't think it'll really matter much in the grand scheme of how Guiding Light is ultimately remembered. I'm not expecting much so maybe it'll be a nice, pleasant surprise but if not, I won't be surprised just mildly disappointed at most.

firefox keeps double posting tonight. Darn it. Sorry.

I think they will end the show by reuniting Reva and Josh. The last episode will probably be their umpteenth wedding. Beth and Phillip will probably be reunited as well. I'm sure they'll also work in "there is a destiny........."

I'd love to see Billy and Vanessa fall back in love and Lizzie marries Bill and gets Sarah back.

For the last scene, I'd love to have some tribute to Bert.

A little off topic, but I'm pissed as hell that Michelle and Billy never ended up together. I know they tried it with Cosgrove and St. Alban, but St. Alban SUCKED at everything so it wasn't worth trying that late. A friend and I were talking about this the other day, but Billy and Michelle made so much sense - I mean the childhood best friends that knew everything about one another, I always thought it was natural. I hate Danny and Michelle, and those Manny fans were ugh...

Too bad the cancellation news put an end to re-casting Michelle, or else it could've happened.

See I disagree that Bill and Michelle failed in 2002. If they did, it was because the show was more invested in Danny and Michelle once Conboy and Weston came on and not because of anything lacking between the characters/actors. IMO, St. Alban was at her best during that time period. Sure that isn't saying *too* much, but they did have chemistry. Quite frankly, I had much bigger problems with the destruction of the Michelle character than I ever had with the actress.

And because of that--hold on to your seats folks--I want St. Alban back for the finale (in tandem with Peter Simon of course). It's too late to recast the role. It would take at least 6 months to get used to her and we don't have the time. Rachel Miner is too young now to pull it off and Bethany Joy is still doing OTH as far as I know. (NOTE: About Miner. I hated when Kimberly Brown stepped back into the role of Marah. Too much time had passed and to think that was the same character that f-u-c-k-e-d Jeffrey made me physically ill.)

EDIT: Big edit here. When I say I want the Michelle character back, I mean ALONE. Have Danny killed in some mob hit, trash compacter, I don't care.

Funny how Rachel Miner is the youngest person to play Michelle, yet no one else has brought the emotional dept and maturity to the role that she brought.

Tragic, isn't it?
