Origins, pengembangan plot, dan cast
Guiding Light has had a number of sequence paths during the long history of the series, both on radio and television. This plot sequence includes an elaborate storyline, and different writers and castings.
1930s and 1940s
The series was created by Irna Phillips, who based it on personal experience. After giving birth to a baby born at the age of 19, he found the spiritual comfort of listening to radio sermons of Preston Bradley, a famous Chicago preacher and founder of the People's Church, a church promoting human brotherhood. These sermons stem from the idea of ​​the creation of The Guiding Light, which began as a radio series. The original radio series was first broadcast as a 15 minute episode on NBC Radio, beginning on January 25, 1937. The series was transferred to CBS Radio during 1947.
1950s
The Guiding Light was first broadcast by CBS Television on June 30, 1952, replacing a canceled soap opera One Hundred Years. . This episode is also 15 minutes. During the period from 1952 to 1956, The Guiding Light existed as a radio and television series, with actors recording their performances twice for each day when the show aired. The Guiding Light radio broadcast stopped production during 1956, ending this overlap.
With the transition to television, the main character became Bauers, a low-class German immigrant family first introduced in a radio series in 1948. Many plots revolve around Bill Bauer (patriarch's son Friedrich "Papa" Bauer) and his new wife Bertha (dubbed "Bert"). Papa Bauer, who came to the United States during World War I with just a few dollars in his pocket, was a character of earth salt that offered his children the opportunity to work hard, and he planted a work ethic into his children.. Bert has a dream of climbing the social ladder and keeping up appearances, and it's up to Bill (and sometimes Papa Bauer) to bring him down to earth.
The Guiding Light was ranked as the number one soap opera during 1956 and 1957, before being replaced in 1958 by The World Changed . After Irna Phillips was moved to When the World Changed during 1958, his protege Agnes Nixon became the head writer of The Guiding Light .
The first television producer The Guiding Light is Luci Ferri Rittenberg, who has performed over 20 years.
1960s
Agnes Nixon relinquished her role as lead author during 1965 to work for the series Another World . On March 13, 1967, The Guiding Light was first broadcast in color. On September 9, 1968, the program expanded from 15 to 30 minutes.
The 1960s featured the introduction of African American characters, and the main emphasis of the series shifted to the children of Bill and Bert, Mike and Ed; Bill Bauer's character was written in July 1969, allegedly killed following a plane crash. The show also became slightly more topical during the 1960s, with storylines such as Bert Bauer's uterine cancer diagnosis in 1962.
A number of new characters were introduced during the mid to late 1960s, including Dr. Sara McIntyre, who remained the lead figure until the early 1980s.
1970s
Most of the stories during the first half of the 1970s were dominated by the murder of Stanley Norris in November 1971 and subsequent trials, as well as the exploits of villains Charlotte Waring and Kit Vested. Charlotte (at the time played by Melinda Fee) was killed by Kit (Nancy Addison) on August 26, 1973, and then Kit himself was shot by Dr. Joe Werner (Anthony Call) to defend himself on 24 April 1974, after he had tried to poison Dr. Sara McIntyre.
A very important character, constantly, until spring 1998, Roger Thorpe, was introduced on April 1, 1971. Roger's role was originally proposed to be fair-haired, fair-skinned, a man dating him. Holly's boss's daughter. In the end, Michael Zaslow, a dark-haired actor with a more ethnic appearance, was hired for the role as casting director, Betty Rea. Zaslow describes Roger as a complicated and multi-faceted villain.
Theo Goetz, the actor who played Papa Bauer since the first episode of The Guiding Light, died in 1972. The decision was made to make Papa Bauer die in the story line as well. The cast honors Goetz and Papa Bauer in a special anniversary episode aired on February 27, 1973.
Suppressed by younger, younger-oriented soap operas like All My Children , Procter & amp; Gamble hired head writers Bridget and Jerome Dobson during 1975, who began writing in November 1975. The Dobsons introduced a more nuanced, layered, and psychological style of writing, including timely storylines, including the complex love/hate relationship between couples estranged/Roger and Holly's half-sister. They also created a number of well-remembered characters, including Rita Stapleton, whose complex relationships with Roger and Ed encouraged many stories for the remainder of the decade, Alan Spaulding, and Ross Marler, both of which remained the main characters of the 2000s..
The decision was made during the fall of 1977 to reintroduce Bill Bauer's dead-thought character, in a large reton. Other figures thought that he had died in an airplane crash in July 1969, but he was said to be alive. (Many viewers also noticed the events and plot of the story in September 1968, remembering that Bill was told he would only have nine more years to live.) One of the problems with his return was that the Dobson family seemed unsure of what to do with his return. Although it was surprising, initially, for many characters, Bill himself was eventually accused of murdering a man in Vancouver (Mike asked his father to commit a crime, proving that it was an accident, rather quickly and in April 1978 Bill had left town, Again Bill returned briefly in November 1978, April 1980, and then again in July 1983 and in a flashback in November 1983.) The return of Bill introduced the audience and Bauer to other characters who stayed on the show until September 1984, Hillary Kincaid , RN (Bauer), Bill's daughter (and Ed and Mike's half brother; Bill had inadvertently killed the man Hillary originally considered his father, but actually his stepfather) and he became a nurse. in Cedars and main characters.
To the surprise of many audiences, Jerome and Bridget Dobson murdered the show's young hero, Leslie Jackson Bauer Norris Bauer, in June 1976. Lynne Adams reportedly wanted to leave the role, and the Dobsons decided not to reshape the part. Leslie was killed by a drunk driver. His father, Dr Steve Jackson, remained on show for the rest of the 70s, serving as a senior doctor at Cedars, and as a friend and companion to Bert Bauer.
In November 1975, the name changed in the visual opening and closing event of The Guiding Light to Guiding Light . On November 7, 1977, the event expanded to a full hour and broadcast from 2:30 to 3:30 pm daily.
Serials during the 1970s emphasized Bauers and Spa. Some important characters are introduced.
1980s
Bridget and Jerome Dobson took over the job of head writing When the World Changed in late 1979. Former actor Douglas Marland, took over the reins of Guiding Light head writing in 1979. He introduced many characters new, including the Reardon family. During May 1980, Guiding Light won her first Extraordinary Drama Series Daytime Emmy. One of the most remembered stories in Marland features the character of Carrie Todd Marler, played by Jane Elliot. Carrie was diagnosed with many personalities. Marland barely investigated his psychosis when Elliot's contract was suddenly terminated by Executive Producer Allen M. Potter in 1982. As a result, Marland resigned in protest.
During the early 1980s, performances began to emphasize younger characters, in an attempt to compete with the younger ABC series. A number of old characters were eliminated during this time, including Ben and Eve McFarren, Diane Ballard, Dr. Sara McIntyre, Adam Thorpe, Barbara Norris Thorpe, Justin Marler and Steve Jackson. Actress Lenore Kasdorf came out of the show in 1981, and the producers decided not to rearrange the role of Rita Stapleton Bauer, given how popular Kasdorf is. The Bauer family matriarch Bertha 'Bert' Bauer, died in March 1986, following the death of Charita Bauer's real life in 1985. During the 50th anniversary of Guiding Light in 1987, the commitment promised to show off the Bauer family in the lead role as much as possible after the audience's reaction to the Lewis and Shayne family who grew up in Oklahoma turned into a mix. As a result, the family barbecue tradition of July 4 began that year, and continued into 2009, the final year of the series on CBS Television.
The increasingly complex storyline emphasizes the Bauer, Spaulding, Reardon and Raines families. Pam Long, actress and writer for NBC's Texas from 1981 to 1982, became head writer during 1983 and reiterated the Freddy Bauer Phillip Spaulding series, Mindy Lewis, and Beth Raines. He also introduced the character Alexandra Spaulding, performed by actress Beverlee McKinsey, of the Other World and fame of Texas; and Reva Shayne, played by Kim Zimmer. Ratings in the mid to late 1980s were solid and healthy. Pamela K. Long returned to become the second head writer from 1987 to 1990.
Characters Roger Thorpe and Holly Norris returned to the series during the late 1980s. Maureen Garrett imitated her role as Holly # 2 in 1988, followed by Michael Zaslow as Roger in 1989.
1990s
With the new decade, series texts are diverted from the homespun style of Long into a more realistic style with a group of new lead authors. The Bauer, Spaulding, Lewis, and Cooper families have been established as the nuclear family, and most of the major plot developments concern them. Events are generally held in the center of the pack as far as ranking goes throughout the decade.
The show suffered huge character losses in the mid-decade, including the death of a car accident Maureen Bauer and Alexandra Spaulding's exit from the story. Over the course of the decade, the program developed a series of strange storylines that seem to compete with the Passions and Days of Our Lives series.
In an effort to revive the series, Reva Shayne's character was brought back to Springfield during April 1995. He had been allegedly killed for the previous five years, after driving his car from the bridge and into the water from the Florida Keys. Later in July, the antiheroine Tangie Hill (played by Marcy Walker, who refused to renew his contract) was eliminated after nearly two years with a show supporting the return of a favorite full-time fan of Nola Chamberlain, played by Lisa Brown.
During January 1996, veterans of the soap opera Mary Stuart joined the cast as Meta Bauer (though often called for years, the old character played by Ellen Demming has not been shown on screen since 1974); the character remained on the show until Stuart's death during 2002.
January 1998, Bethany Joy Lenz came to the show as "Teenage Reva Clone". The producer was very impressed with his acting and attitude during his three-week role as "Teenage Reva Clone" on the show that he was again hired later that year in the contract role of "Michelle Bauer Santos" in the afternoon series. From 1999-2000.
2000s
The year 2000 begins with the division of events into two locales: Springfield and the fictional island nation San Cristobel. In Springfield, the Santos mass dynasty created many dramas. Meanwhile, the Winslow royal family has a series of intrigues that they have to deal with. During 2002, however, San Cristobel was knocked out of the series and the mass influence in the story was subsequently reduced and, with the departure of Danny Santos character during 2005, was completely eliminated. Also, Guiding Light celebrated its 50th Anniversary as a television show on June 30, 2002.
During 2004, former director and actress Ellen Wheeler (Emmy Award-winning actress for this series All My Children Another World ) took over as executive producer of the Light Guide. He and author David Kreizman made many changes to the set, the story, and the cast. Some veteran actors are eliminated, especially as budgets decline. Due to the lack of veteran influence, Wheeler reemphasized the youth of Springfield, especially the controversial cousin of Jonathan and Tammy.
During 2006, an episode featured Harley Cooper characters who gained heroic abilities. This semi-advanced episode in an 8-page story in Marvel Comics production select.
The series has its 70th anniversary broadcast during 2007. The commemoration is commemorated with the initiation of the FindYourLight.net website and outreach program, which represents Irna Phillips's original message. There was also a special episode during January 2007, with players currently playing Phillips and some of the cast members before. The series also introduces a special early credit to commemorate the anniversary.
Despite the low ratings, the event won the 2007 Embassy Emmy Award for Best Writing and Best Show (sharing Best Show with The Young and the Restless ).
End
On April 1, 2009, CBS announced that it would not update Guiding Light , and the last broadcast date was September 18, 2009. Procter & amp; Gamble initially announced that they would try to find other outlets to distribute the series, but later admitted that they were unsuccessful in doing so, and that on September 18, 2009, after 57 years on television (preceded by 15 years on radio for a total 72 year broadcasting history) , Guiding Light will end its broadcasting history on CBS.
During the final weeks of the series, many of the characters from the past series past Springfield one last time, culminating with Ed and Holly, who impulsively started unspecified trips together. Alan Spaulding suffered from fatal heart failure during the past week, but not before settling the conflict with many former enemies, including Jonathan. Alan's death brings his character together in a way that was not possible when he was alive. Alexandra was particularly confused about Alan's death, but was delighted when Fletcher Reade came to Spaulding Mansion after Alan's service, and convinced him to accompany him to Europe. Beth and Phillip got closer and decided to marry again; Mindy Lewis was back in Springfield for good, and she and Rick were silent too. Reva and Josh held discussions, and agreed that they each had their respective problems that they needed to solve. Josh told Reva that he left Springfield for work for next year, but proposed that he return a year from that date and, if at that time, he wants to reunite with him, he must meet him at the lighthouse and, if he is not in there, he'll assume he's not interested.
The final episode is fun, featuring lots of characters gathered in the park for a great picnic. Toward the end of the episode, he leaps forward a year, at which time, Phillip and Beth have reunited, just as Rick and Mindy are. Olivia and Natalia, happy with their new baby, took Raphael when he returned from the army. The episode concludes with Josh arriving at the lighthouse, as promised, and finding Reva there. They expressed their eternal love. James, Ashlee, and Daisy left Springfield and moved to Santa Barbara, California. Josh asks if Reva is crowded, to go on an adventure. Both took the suitcase, and with Reva's son, they climbed into Josh's pickup truck. Josh said to Reva, "Are you ready?" He replied "Always." When the truck drives with the lighthouse in the background, "The End" appears on the screen before the final fadeout. The song that sounded played in the background during the last scene was "Together" by Michelle Branch.
The last episode also includes the original tag line, with some revisions, printed on the screen with the words "There is a destiny that makes us FAMILY" (replacing the word 'brother'), as well as a quick movie clip of each show the title card and the broadcaster for six The decade was on television, which led to a long-standing initial announcement of the event: "And now, The Guiding Light ".
Maps Guiding Light
Production and local
Guiding Light is broadcast from three locations: Chicago (where Irna Phillips was born), from 1937 to 1946; Hollywood, from 1947 to 1949; and New York City began in 1949. Relocated from Chicago to Hollywood (despite objections from Phillips and Arthur Peterson) to take advantage of the talent pool. Production was later transferred to New York City, where the majority of sinetrons were produced in the 1950s, 1960s, and most of the 1970s; it remained based in New York City until the conclusion of the event. His final taping location is a CBS studio in downtown Manhattan. From the 1970s to the 1990s it was filmed at Chelsea Studios. From shortly before 29 February 2008, an outdoor scene was filmed at a location in Peapack, New Jersey. The filming location coincided with another significant production change, as the series became the first day soap opera in America to be digitally recorded. The production team chose to film the Canon XH-G1 HDV camcorder. Unlike the old production models with pedestal-style cameras and traditional three-sided devices, handheld cameras allow manufacturers to choose as many locations as they want.
Final CBS Season
During the 57th season of daytime dramas on television and the rest of the 72nd season, the series has turned its gaze into a more realistic experience in an attempt to compete with the growing popularity of reality television. The new Guiding Light view includes hand-free camera work and little action shown on the traditional studio set. Producer Ellen Wheeler introduces the style of "wobbles", present in a number of films, featuring extreme-close-ups and frequent cuts, including the "breaking axis" (which proves to be confusing for viewers who are accustomed to performing with the traditional "soap operas" see ") Also new is the outdoor scene making in the actual outdoor setting.Even the many indoor scenes have more "on-location" shades, re-moving the real location, such as the Guiding Light production office, into rooms motels, nail salons, quick-marts, and other businesses or locations.Thus, this series has many sets without the cost of many separate locations CBS and show producers hope that the new look will improve rankings, but the plan ultimately does not work.
On April 1, 2009, the series was canceled by CBS after 72 years, with the last series airing on September 18, 2009, making it the Filler & amp; Soap operas gamble to end.
Production summary
The action has also been set in three different places - it is based in the fictional cities of Five Points and Selby Flats before Springfield's last venue.
Transmission and character
Broadcast history
Unlike most popular radio series that transition to television, The Guiding Light has no difficulty keeping an audience of its old audience and simultaneously getting a new television fanbase. For the time being The Guiding Light debuted, both ABC and NBC never broadcast programs on their respective networks at 2:30. Eastern/1: 30 Central, where the first CBS placed The Guiding Light . However, six months after the run, the network moved the series into a timeslot that gave him immense popularity with its housewife audience: 12:45 Ã, Â °/11:45 am It made a new time for the next 19 years and eight months, sharing half hour with his sister Procter & amp; Tv opera gambled-packed, Search Tomorrow.
The Guiding Light handles the competition casually, even against other legendary events like Queen for a Day at ABC (in 1960) and NBC Truth or Consequences. Normally, The Guiding Light is ranked second in Nielsen's ranking behind another series, When World Turns. 1968, however, saw a change in viewer trend that prompted CBS to expand two daytime dramas lasting 15 minutes, disrupting old viewing habits. Search for Tomorrow took over the entire 12: 30-1/11: 30-Noon period, with The Guiding Light back to the first timeslot, 2: 30/1: 30, albeit in the now-standard half-hour format, on September 9. This twin expansion bill also caused the dislocation of The Secret Storm and the beloved Art Linkletter's House Party, and the cancellation of the day Telling the Truth. The next 12 years brought some similar shifts around the CBS arrangement.
The 1970s saw the popularity of The Guiding Light dipping slightly. The competition that was charged at The Guiding Light during this decade came from another series such as The Doctors on NBC, but still garnered a decent ranking. After four years, CBS hit its timeslot for up to half an hour to accommodate Procter & amp; Gamble's request that the The Edge of Night move to 2: 30/1: 30, a move that led to the end of the show on CBS three years later. Meanwhile, The Guiding Light stays on track against NBC's Days of Our Lives and ABC's The Newlywed Game. At the end of 1974, ABC replaced the The Newlywed Game with Pyramid for $ 10,000, which went on to get a strong rating, but not too much on The Guiding Light's . Meanwhile, in the fall of 1975 (at the time the show had officially dropped the word "The" from its title, though still referred to as The Guiding Light which aired for several years after it), the forthcoming < i> Edge of Night for ABC - not to say CBS's planned expansion of some series - affects Guild Light by pushing it back to 2: 30/1: 30 again in December. At that time, NBC is still running The Doctors in the 2:30 slot, and ABC has a short hit next year with the latest version of Break the Bank game show. To further complicate the picture, ABC chose to expand its first show, ie One Life to Live and General Hospital, in July 1976; each showing a half block of 90 minutes until November 4, 1977.
With this in mind, ABC and CBS act to provide competitive opportunities for both General Hospital and Guiding Light by extending them up to an hour long. CBS did it first by extending Guild Light on November 7, 1977. This became very important when ABC finally added 15 minutes to One Life to Live and General Hospital on January 16, 1978, so that Guiding Light straddles both programs, as well as the first half of the P & G show Another World on NBC. Nevertheless the General Hospital surprised all observers by skyrocketing from near-cancellation to the top spot in the rankings with various storylines, Light Guide held on their own whilst in direct competition with General Hospital , is still progressing as the decade ends.
On February 4, 1980, CBS hit Guild Light again down, until 3pm/2c, and his brother's soap P & amp; g As the World Transforms to 2 pm/1c, in the middle of a large scheduling shufflet meant to give The Young and the Restless (itself now expanded to an hour) beat ABC All My Children. NBC did the same with its soap operas as well with all three networks now heads in each time slot. It stays in this time slot for the rest of it running in multiple markets, facing General Hospital and NBC entries like Texas (spin-off Other World ), The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour and Santa Barbara. None of these events - even General Hospital - did not have a significant impact on the Light Guide at 3:00 pm during this period.
Overall, the first half of the 1980s saw a resurgence in the popularity of Light Guides, with the top five ranking achieved in most of the year and even the brief dethroning of the powerhouse General Hospital from Rank # 1 spot for three consecutive weeks. However, as the decade progresses, the ratings decline slightly, although it still performs solidly. In 1995, starting with CBS WCBS-TV main station in New York, Light Guide began airing at 10 am Eastern time in some markets. The solid-first performance began to collapse in the mid-1990s, when the rankings dropped as low as nine places out of ten. However, during the controversial cloned storyline in 1998, the ratings experienced a brief resurgence, moving up to the fifth for several weeks that summer. Nielsen reported Guiding Light had 5 million viewers in 1999.
Until the end of 2009, stations in some markets aired on Guiding Light in the morning either at 9 or 10 am local time: Miami, Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, Detroit, New York City, Los Angeles, San Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Fort Worth, IN, South Bend, IN, Portland, OR, Quad Cities, Buffalo, Reno, Portland, ME, Milwaukee, Albany, NY, and Scranton-Wilkes Barre, PA. Light Guide airs at 12 noon local time in Honolulu, Hawaii. In Savannah, GA, broadcast at 4:00 pm local time.
Prior to 2004, the station that aired Guiding Light in the morning has always been one of the episodes behind those who broadcast the program in the official 3:00 pm time slot (ET). This changed in March 2004, on the first day of the NCAA March Madness basketball tournament, where stations displaying the show at 10:00 could catch up with the station broadcasting it at 3:00 pm. Beginning in 2006, a television station broadcast on Guiding Light at 9:00 am was also offered to eat along with the rest of the network. As a result, the daily episodes for remaining years GL are the same in all stations regardless of timeslot.
Guiding Light maintained a strong ranking in Pittsburgh, although it was moved to 10:00 in 2006. According to a 2006 article on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Dr. Phil was not able to pull the same number that Guiding Light did in that time slot a year earlier, while Guiding Light retained its audience share.
One of the CBS affiliates who did not broadcast the event was KOVR-TV in Sacramento, California, which became CBS's affiliate in 1995. Before CBS was affiliated with the KOVR, it was affiliated in Sacramento with KXTV, which had dropped the Light Guide from the schedule in 1992 and did not air it again. Thus, the show was prioritized in the Sacramento area from 1992 until the event cancellation. WNEM-TV in Flint/Saginaw/Bay City, Michigan, also an affiliate of CBS that year, originally runs soap before dropping it in 1996 because of its disappointing ratings. In the fall of 2006, WNEM started running Guiding Light on its digital channel, My 5 at 10Ã, am, airing there for the rest of its journey.
Internationally, Guiding Light is currently airing in Iceland, Italy, Hungary and Serbia. It also aired September 3, 2007 until August 26, 2011 in the UK on Zone Romantica/CBS Drama, and was pulled at the point where filming of the outdoor location will begin. The final scene filtered from the show in Britain is Cassie hiding with Will's troubled son - just like any other family member found out that he had actually killed his uncle, Alonzo.
Since the end of CBS, which was run on September 18, 2009, reruns of Guiding Light are currently broadcast on Sky 1 since September 21, 2009.
Broadcast history in Canada
In Canada, Guiding Light is available to viewers directly through CBS-TV network affiliates from border towns or cable TV feeds until the end of the show in 2009. In addition, Guild Light was successful on several Canadian television networks through the 1980s until his last air date.
Atlantic Satellite Network (ASN) - an additional service for its ATV system from a CTV affiliate specifically for the Canadian Atlantic - aired the soap simultaneously with CBS feed from 1983 to 1984; later, the broadcast was moved to 12 noon to 1985.
The show is also aired in French in Quebec. TVA, a privately owned French-French television network, re-broadcast an episode in French translation, twelve months behind, for a brief period in 1984.
In the early 1990s, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) briefly aired the P & amp; G nationally at 3:00 pm. in any specific Canadian local time zone. The CBC Television Broadcast from Guiding Light was also scheduled in the late 1960s during the 15 minute serial format. On both occasions, daytime dramas only aired for several seasons.
After being absent from Canadian television stations for years, the series reappears on CHCH-TV, specifically for the Ontario market. In September 2007, Global took its show nationally after CHCH-TV dropped it, claiming the former Passion slot. Guiding Light returned to CHCH for the rest of its journey when Global decided to broadcast the TV series 2008 The Doctors .
