Top Ten Shocking Deaths on Guiding Light… By Elizabeth
07-25-05

10. Eve Guthrie. She had a rare blood disease and was in the hospital when she died. Ed turned off her life support machines, making her death the first doctor assisted suicide on Guiding Light in 1995.

9.  H.B. Lewis. Though he was old, H.B.’s death in 1997 came as sad news for longtime viewers. His character was a true & loyal friend something rare in the town of Springfield.

8. “Pops” Cooper. He died from the 5^th Street fire in 1990 which was a surprise to all. The backbone of the Cooper Clan at the time, his death hit Frank & Harley especially hard.

7.  Carl Stevens. In 1998, a young Lizzie Spaulding killed Carl who was her mother’s boyfriend. Who can forget the episode where we all found out who the real killer was? Lizzie was having pretend tea, with the recently deceased Carl. What an amazing episode! Her role in Carl’s death was also brought into play when years later her father was murdered.

6. Maureen Bauer. She was killed in a car crash back in the winter of 1993 shortly after finding out about her husband’s affair with Lillian Raines.  She left behind two children and a husband racked with guilt.

5. Maryanne Caruthers. Though she was killed way back in 1977, no one knew about it. When the writers brought forth this story it changed the way some of the main men in Springfield were viewed.

4. Roger Thorpe. Who could forget one of Guiding Light’s best villains? Though his death was nothing exciting, it did come as a shock for loyal viewers. The most exciting & shocking thing to come from this was without a doubt, the arrival of his son, Sebastian into Springfield.

3. Paul Holden. In 1938 Paul was killed by his wife, making it the first ever murder on Guiding Light.

2. Phillip Spaulding. Though the true killer was recently just announced, more than six months after the shot that rang through Springfield this death rocked and still rocks the bedrock of the town. Everyone became a suspect, and pitted the Spaulding’s against the Cooper’s once more.

1. Reva Shayne. Though she didn’t ‘officially’ die, she was presumed dead. Her drive off the Florida bridge in 1990 was tragic as her husband had to watch in horror as the car she was in slowly sank. He never fully got over her ‘death’ and even uprooted his family year later when he believed she was living in Italy.
