Polling Guidelines Polling for the best and worst of 1998 on Guiding Light was done via e-mail. Over 20,000 votes were received in twenty categories. This poll is not scientific and reflects only the opinions of those GL fans who chose to participate. The results cannot be assumed to represent the opinions of GL fans in general, nor the public as a whole. Certain characters or actors were chosen to be invalid for particular categories.
Vote is for the character only.
Role had to have originated in 1998. For the purposes of this poll the role of Susan Lemay was considered a new one, since the character was a small child when she last appeared. A character that came back to Springfield that had lived in town before. Voting guidelines were sent to all those polled. Any vote that did not have the category and the choice in the subject line was not counted.
