EspañolSPRINGFIELD (GUIDING LIGHT)
'Springfield' is the setting of the television soap opera ''Guiding Light''.
The show was proximal to other midwestern soap cities, such as Bay City and Oakdale. Bay City and Oakdale, in the storyline, are located in the state of Illinois (in real life, there is an unrelated Oakdale, Illinois), so, ostensibly, Springfield would also be in the same state (or possibly an adjacent state). However, Springfield, Illinois is the state capital and the town represented on ''Guiding Light'' is much smaller. Also, no hints have ever been dropped that the town was the capital of the state like it is in real life. In other references, most recently in a check written by the character Alexandra Spaulding (played by Marj Dusay), Springfield is a generic city merely located in "U.S.A." (much like Salem on Days of Our Lives and the Springfield depicted in The Simpsons). The original setting of Guiding Light was Selby Flats, California, and the location changed to Springfield in 1966 when the show's core family, the Bauers, relocated there.
