About Guiding Light

Guiding Light tracks Springfield families from 1952 to 2009 on CBS, starting from radio in 1937. The 1950s to 1960s set Bauer base with Papa and Meta. The 1970s to 1980s add Lewis, Shayne and wedding peaks with Reva and Josh.

The 1990s to 2000s continue with returns, clones and the 2009 close as the longest soap. Watch decades in order because wedding returns assume old exits. The soap is completed with no revival dated. New viewers can start with any decade but should go forward. Episodes stand alone per trial, but Bauer Lewis bonds and church arcs grow with each decade in Springfield.

Good to know

Decade order avoids listing 15000 plus episodes one by one. Early decades set Springfield church and hospital base. Middle decades add weddings and clone stunts. Later years close returns of who left and came back. Start with any decade, but go forward to catch why Reva returns land after long gaps.
