LOS ANGELES — “Guiding Light” earned one of its last trophies at the Daytime Emmys on Sunday night before it leaves the air after 72 years.
Jeff Branson, left, who plays Shayne Lewis on the CBS soap, tied for supporting actor in the first award presented on the live CW telecast. “This is so bittersweet,” Branson said backstage.
He tied with Vincent Irizarry of ABC’s “All My Children,” who got his soap start on “Guiding Light” in the early 1980s.
“I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of television history,” Irizarry said. The Associated Press
