the Daytime Emmy Award voting panel in 1980 for the Guiding Light to win its first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Drama in May 1980.) Roger was secretly taken out of the country with the help of his boss Alan Spaulding and declared dead and Holly would become the first major female soap opera character to spend an appreciative amount of time (6 months) in a woman's prison for supposedly murdering her husband (until Mike Bauer had the body exhumed and it turned out not to be Roger's.) The Dobsons though were criticized for two major story line moves. The first of those was their killing off of Leslie Jackson Bauer Norris Bauer, in June 1976 (by then part of what appeared to be a stable couple that could have made Leslie a tent pole character for many years later.)

The version of the opening and closing themes, "La Lumière," by Charles Paul, first used in 1968 (and scored for piano and organ), was re-scored by Mr. Paul in an orchestral version, and the billboards and titles, were changed as well. On November 5, 1975, the name was changed in
