Re “Too steamy for this soap,” April 2

So the “Guiding Light” has finally dimmed. It debuted the summer I spent most days listening to one soap opera after another, despite my mother’s efforts to shoo me outside for some fresh air.

How I dreaded going back to school without knowing what happened to Our Gal Sunday or Helen Trent.

By the next summer, I realized there was life beyond soap operas. But I can still hear the theme songs in my mind.
