The head writer that created those beautiful story lines you mentioned in your comment was Douglas Marland.He died too soon at the age of fifty-seven. For his work on As the World Turns and Guiding Light, Mr. Marland was nominated(and won)Emmys and was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993. As the World Turns and Guiding Light may not get the ratings that the Califonia-based soaps(The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful receive but they certainly get the Emmys!I just think the New York soap operas are better acted. If you look at the resumes of the adult actors on the New York produced shows, you will find Tony awards and nominations, Obies, Drama Desk awards,etc.. I have watched these shows since I was born(I am 49). The other shows I watched as a child were Search For Tomorrow, Love of Life and The Edge of Night. These shows were canceled to make room for The Young and the Restless, Capital(which later evolved into The Bold and Beautiful)and talk shows. I hope the viewers of As the World Turns and Guiding Light will keep watching and make sure that CBS keeps these shows on.
