Guiding Light!

[december]

That's how it is here. 11am is Y&R, 12 news, 12:30 B&B, 1pm ATWT, 2pm GL. My summers growing up were working in the fields all morning, then bringing in buckets of stuff to peel, shell, or clean in front of the tv at my grandparents house.

I wish Phillip would come back, but they've been dropping his name for so long I've given up hope. With the show being so great lately, that would really put it at the top in my opinion. I've also heard that they are thinking of recasting, but his pics are still all over the place, so I don't know.

Is anyone else still annoyed that Leah is a teen and Jude is a little boy? They need to deSORAS her quick-really messed up the history there. Of course, she is Emma's age, and she seems to be several years older than James and Jude as well.

Extremely annoyed. How can she be older than her brother that was born before her??? She has added nothing to the show so what was the point? It also annoys me that everyone lives in a hotel. Now really who does that let alone half the town

LOVED the kiss between Lizzy and Jonathan yesterday!

I hate how GL has made me dislike Harley now. She used to be my favorite character, now I can't stand to watch her, especially with Cyrus.

I hadn't heard anything about the pregnancy rumor, but I'm thinking it might be Marina with all her pie craving yesterday.

BTW, GL is not on until 3pm here, but tape it and watch later.

 

[spalady]

I love Jonathan and Lizzy together!!!!! Now if we could only get Reva and Josh back together although I like her with Jeffrey. I too am sick of Harley but I like Cyrus he is a hottie!!!! Can't wait to see what happens with him. I wish Will would just go and be gone don't like that script at all. Who do you think Beth really likes Rick or Alan~she does like having power?!?! Anyways, I am just glad that Jonathan is back!!!

 

[december]

Amen on Jonathan-just wish he would stay. I think Beth has had a screw loose for a long time and will stay with Allen unless Phillip comes back. Tell me again why Allen isn't in jail?

The hotel thing isn't just on GL. Y&R and ATWT does the same thing. Every Snyder by name is now living at Emma's farm or in a hotel room, even though Lily has a mansion near by. Makes no sense!

Of course, I'll take any storyline right now that keeps Josh and Holden looking dangerous and sexy!

 

[goofinoff]

GL is on at 9am here. Sorry if I spoiled it for anyone. Yes I hate the fact that they aged Leah so much. That would have meant that Rick cheated on Mel with Harley. I hate how the writers think we long time viewers are stupid!

 

[december]

Don't worry about spoiling it for me-I'm all about the spoilers. Made me watch some things closer today. I guess Dinah is now going to help Marina with Cryus to get her away from Mallet (her godfather ). I just hate that they are all so screwed up. Emma is older than James, Leah is as old as Daisy, who has lost her virginity how many times now?

 

[Alice28]

the whole hotel thing drives me INSANE. I Think they're just cheap on sets. Remember when Reva lived on Reva Bend or whatever it was called? And Holly had her house? Everyone had a HOUSE? Not a freaking hotel room that all look the same, they just toss new pillows on the couch when they switch characters.

I was hardly watching GL when Mel and Rick first got together and had Leah (I used to work from 1:45-6, so I would catch the first half of ATWT and miss GL most of the time)- so I'm foggy on that whole timeline, but I KNOW she was born after Jude. That is crazy they expect us to believe Leah is older than her brother. Stupid.

Rick was totally totally out of line. And does he have permanent eyeliner? That actor has always been one of my favorites, I love his humor, but I wanted to kick him today.

The kiss between Jon and Lizzie yesterday was hooootttt! I love how Lizzie has matured, love it. Kind of like Katie on ATWT- I used to 'hate' her, but now I love her.

I wish they could get Jon to stay- he really adds a lot to the show.

I don't get the whole point of Natalia. Why. She doesn't really add much, she's not connected to any other family.

I still like Harley- she was REALLY bugging me when she was with Gus, but I'm liking her again. What she's doing is awful, but I still like her. Marina has always been a little too babyish for me or something. I do like her sparks with Mallet, has promise I suppose.

But will someone tell me- WHY is Harley's house STILL not done? For crying out loud, hire someone to texture those darn walls and paint them!

I like Josh and Reva, but I would like it better if they would just stay friends for awhile, and keep Jeffrey in the Reva picture a bit longer. I just ached for Reva last year when she was going thru the cancer and Josh was falling for Cassie- UGH.

My only 'wee' complaint right now is that I would like more Ashley on screen- she is a hoot, a real breath of fresh air. But, I'm telling you, this is the first time in YEARS where I am tuning in DAILY to GL, so anxious to see what happens next. Keep it up GL!

Oh- and we've had the same line up for years with the soaps too- both here in Portland and when I lived in San Jose- Y and R at 11, news at noon, B n B at 12:30, ATWT at 1 and GL at 2. I rarely will watch the Bell soaps, too smarmy and smutty, but I've always been an ATWT and GL fan. Since I was a girl (I'm 35). My mom watches too.

 

[Jennifer S]

YES!! I forgot about Harley's house not being done. That drives me crazy!! Alice I agree with your whole post.

 

[december]

Alice, we grew up together (kind of)! I'm 35, too. And I've always loved Harley. I know alot of people are hating her right now, but I just can't. I've read on other boards that Harley's house is like her-everything is just in turmoil right now. At least it isn't a hotel room! I've also read that with the new outdoor sets, that people are going to be seen living in houses again. I hope so!

I love Ashley, too. And although I LOVE Reva and Jeffrey, I'm starting to see the sparks between Reva and Josh again. Is anyone else hoping Will takes Cassie out when he goes?

As far as Jon and Lizzie-she has definitely done some growing up! I remember when she got pregnant with Sarah, and I just wasn't buying it. But this week was far different!

 

[december]

Michelle Ray Smith (Ava) is pregnant with her first child-due this summer. I don't know if she'll be pregnant on the show or not (really really really hope not!)

Also, someone posted this as a SPUMOUR, but stated that the source was pretty reliable. I hope it isn't true simply because I hate back from the dead crap, and because I don't know how much more we are supposed to be believe Allen can get away with. But here it is-NOT in my words:


Tammi wasn't really "killed" as (stephanie)plans to make her"return"as tammi randall yay! LOL

the big secret is that allan has been keeping her"captive?"beth finding this out as "soon"as she is about to let allan around the kid spend more time with her and get back with allan but "changes her mind"when she finds TAMMI,seeing "once again"allan has not changed and she is overheard by one who is wanting lizzie ALL for himself and sarah...


tammi makes her entrance as"soon"as lizzie planning to marry johnwith someone bringing her to the"wedding!"


and guess who is going to find her "just in time to break up the wedding?"


BILL!!!!!

One word...Whoa!

 

[DisneyMomOK]

Didn't Tammi die in the hospital? I was hoping she would reappear somehow, but this is just strange.

[Alice28]

What?? How the hell are they supposed to explain Jon and Cassie's 'visions' of her. I don't get it.

 

[december]

I know, but Reva did come back as a "vision" and even led help to Mara when she was hurt. I don't like it, but here is how it is being explained on the soapcentral boards: Tammi is in Cassie and Jon's heads-not a ghost. Jon was alone with her when she "died" and the body was gone before Cassie got there. The monitors were unplugged when Jon was there, so she could have started breathing again and Jon didn't know (farfetched I know!). Then the casket was closed at the service. Remember, Phillip was dead, too.

I'm liking the show so much right now and I won't like this! But as they've said on the other board, Reva has come back from the dead, been a Princess, been Amish, been cloned, been a psychic, and walked through pictures, so they've done worse!

I am looking forward to this. No one can say there isn't some creativity here! I really did not want Lizzie to be hurt again, though. Hopefully, Bill will be the one she really cares about.

[Alice28]

LOL- very, very true about Reva.

So, is this how they are going to write Jonathan back out? He and Tammy go riding off in the sunset? I'm soooooo disappointed that he's not staying, at least from what I am reading.

 

[goofinoff]

I could have sworn Jonathan, Cassie and Reva were all there when Tammy died. I would love to see her back but I really like her as a "guiding light". Although when Alan had Jon at the Bauer cabin (that everyone in springfield has a key to) he did make a reference to hiding Philip for a long time too. I suppose if anyone could get away with this story line it would be Alan! I do love the Bill/Lizzie/Jonathan love triangle....much better than the one between Marina/Harley/Cyrus! Ugh!
