Guiding Light has enjoyed quite a run. 72 years worth, to be exact.

But the soap opera has officially been canceled. It will go off the air in September.

"Being on the air for more than seven decades is truly remarkable, and it will be difficult for all of us at the show to say goodbye," said Executive Producer Ellen Wheeler. "I'm proud of everything we’ve been able to do, including outstanding storytelling, our community service around the country with Find Your Light and the launch of our new production model. This show has such a rich history, wonderful fans, and I'm honored to have been a part of the GL legacy."

On Thursday Nicholas Galbraith and Melinda Sullivan will debut on As the World Turns as Zac and Zoe Finn.

We've uncovered a glimpse at their on-air premiere. Enjoy...
