Bauer Burgers

1. Get 2 lbs of ground sirloin, then mix in some garlic, pepper, salt and 3 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce.

2. Make an even number of thin hamburger patties. (Be sure to make them very thin.)

3. Chop up some onion and put it on top of the first patty. Then put a slice of American or mozzarella cheese on top. Grill some mushrooms and put them on top of the cheese. Cover the whole thing with another patty.

4. Using a fork press down the edges of the patties so they are sealed

5. Barbecue the double patties over a low flame until done. It takes more time to cook due to the thickness of the patties.

From Daytime Confidential

In another shocker from Guiding Light, sources have revealed to yours truly that Jeffrey O'Neill(Bradley Cole) will die.

"Jeffrey will not make it past July. Edmund will be involved and David Andrew MacDonald may make an appearance."
If this is giving the fans treats and what they deserve, I can only imagine what else the 72 year old sudser has in store for everyone. Keep your eyes peeled to Daytime Confidential for more news regarding this developing story.

 

[december]

I can't blame them for jumping ship, but this really drives home that it is almost over:

*According to the suds report, today was Gina Tognoni's last tape date, here is what he reports.

"The Suds Report has exclusively learned that today was Emmy winner Gina Tognoni’s (Dinah) last work day on GL. The former One Life actress refused to extend her GL contract until the finale on Sept. 18. At the very last minute, GL had to re-write long-term story to accommodate Tognoni’s decision to quit her popular role. There is no word yet as to why she didn't re-sign with the cancelled soap. One source speculates that the reason behind Tognoni’s shocking decision could be because she has agreed to a new soap gig. I’ll have more details next week."

According to daytime Confidential GL is planning to break the bank to get Gina to appear in the finale

 

[Zandy595]

So sad...

I wonder if there will be anyone left by the September.

Do the writers care what we want?

Jeffrey Dies Preview...

At the beginning of next week Reva is excited to receive a call from Jeffrey. But it's bad news. The plane he's on is going down and he's calling to say good-bye. She's devastated of course. Jeffrey wants to talk to Colin but Reva is losing it emotionally. She says she loves him and that she's survived a crash before so can he. Then the line goes dead, she screams. Josh then shows up and they contact Frank who gets in touch with the FAA about this. Billy, Lillian, Shayne and Josh are rallying around Reva. Frank assumes Jeffrey did not make it but Reva refuses to believe it. She believes he's okay. Dinah then shows up, Reva is pissed, Dinah tells Reva that Jeffrey was going to the Caribbean and that he sent Dinah home to tell everyone that Edmund is indeed alive. That leads Mallet to believe Edmund sabotaged Jeffrey's plane. Reva is determined to find Edmund and destroy him. By the end of the week she's completely determined to find Jeffrey and bring him home.

Reva receives "devastating news" the following week.

In SOW there is a Q&A about Reva and Jeffrey. Kim says Jeffrey's outlook on life was a breath of fresh air for Reva. The surprise in all of it was that it became so much more than it was ever expected to. She's asked about devastated Feva fans...and responds that this was a relationship that the writers never really thought would be accepted by the fans. But it was accepted and became the love story it was because of the love and support from the fans.

Oh and it says Kim and Bradley sang Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love" together at Gina's wedding! Also, M&M receive a letter Edmund wrote Henry. He knows about him and it tells Henry his parents are evil (LOL). Marina goes nuts...Jeffrey's plane went down..pretty much all hell has broken loose.

[DisneyFreaks]

I just found this thread while scrolling through the community board. I have been a faithful follower of GL since I was a child and am heartsick over CBS dropping it. Does anyone know if the show is being picked up by anyone? My DD and I are both freaking out over the loss of our beloved GL. Silly I know but I have watched for so long I feel like I "know" these folks as friends. Anyone else here feel the same way or am I just nuts?

 

[safetymom]

I went to the appearance they all made at Universal. Almost everyone that asked a question mentioned how many years they had been watching the show. They do feel like family.

http://www.disunplugged.com/2009/03/21/guiding-light-stars-come-to-universal-orlando/

 

[december]

Yep, I've watched my whole life. I grew up with these characters (I'm 36). The writers have killed it, and rumor is that they did it on purpose. It is sickening.

It was announced last week that it is not being picked up by someone else-so in about 6 wks GL will officially be over.
