Getting your player ready...
NEW YORK — Friday marked the final flicker of CBS’s “Guiding Light,” as that venerable daytime drama logged its farewell hour after 72 years on radio and television.
The last episode took an upbeat, life-affirming tone, complete with a scene that gathered many of the characters at a picnic in the park on a beautiful day. And the closing moments sealed the future of the show’s signature on-and-off-again supercouple: Reva (Kim Zimmer) and Josh (Robert Newman).
They rendezvoused, according to plan, at the local lighthouse and declared their undying love. Then these soulmates climbed into Josh’s pickup.
“You ready?” asked Josh.
“Always,” Reva said.
And they drove away, as the words “The End” flashed on the screen before a final fade-out.
