This is so true about Reva. Each story was more ridiculous than the last.
It's been interesting and informative reading the posts about what others enjoyed about Guiding Light and how long they watched it for. I was too young for the Roger Thorpe era and Maureen Bauer stuff but I know it's lore that her being killed off set off the show going in a bad direction.
I really became a regular viewer in 1997. I think Rebecca Budig was still Michelle and had gone blind but Cynthia Watros was IT for me. I loved every minute of Annie torturing Josh and Reva, the perfection of that scene in the courthouse and Laura Wright's Cassie being introduced. Danny/Michelle and the Santos saga hooked me even more but that waned after the Michelle recast. Nancy St. Alban was serviceable but she never captured the same spark as Bethany Joy Lenz. My peak viewing was Jonathan and Tammy. Their love story should not have worked. For some, it'll always be taboo and gross, but Tom Pelphrey was a force of nature, and his chemistry with Stephanie Gatschet was out of this world. It was ham-fisted that Reva was his mother but Kim Zimmer and Tom were magic together. The Jammy story jumped the shark with the Lizzie baby stuff, and once the actors left, I was gone as a regular viewer, too. I kept up with SOD and saw some episodes here and there, but I just never returned to it like I once did. Too many choices were made, and by the time the show ended, it felt merciful.
