GUIDING LIGHT being canceled by CBS is the biggest news in the soap world in years so obviously the show deserved a cover on all the print editions of the magazines that cover the genre. I have not seen the cover of CBS Soaps in Depth yet but I certainly hope we'll see one there. Soap Opera Digest has a GUIDING LIGHT subscriber-only cover which features Otalia and Frank and their upcoming wedding. Soap Opera Weekly has done us all proud by giving this story the coverage it deserves, on the front cover of the magazine on newsstands where longtime fans will see it and take notice. It's not enough to cover huge breaking news inside the magazine alone. Most lapsed fans are only going to flip through the pages if the cover catches their eye.
It is thrilling to see Charita Bauer, Beverlee McKinsey and Michael Zaslow on a national magazine cover again. This is what the show deserves and this is what the fans deserve. It doesn't matter if all three soap magazines have similar covers. Every news magazine had Barack Obama on the cover when he was elected President, and regularly have similar covers when breaking news occurs.
Sometimes things happen that are much bigger than which character is sleeping with the wrong person this week. Thank you to Soap Opera Weekly for recognizing that.
