The Official Guiding Light Fans Thread

I was yelling at the TV yesterday. LOL I don't believe Nate/Alfred at all. I was really hoping Josh and Billy wouldn't believe him. Big sigh, when Josh said he didn't. I also couldn't believe Reva said something to Jonathan about hurting Marisa. I wanted to smack her.

I like AC and he's really cute with Harley, but Harley has to be with Gus. I LOVE Gus.

I wish I knew what was going on with Sandy too. Can't figure him out. I stopped watching GL for a few months last fall and I missed it when Jonathan first came to Springfield. Been trying to catch up on Soap Central's archives.

I loved Gus when he was Dean on Another World. I was kind of cool seeing him in scenes with Linda Dano (also from Another World).

I have been watching for over 20 years. I knew Phillip never died- he's too popular of a character. I must say it has been moving way TOO SLOW. I am actually losing interest in it. GL needs to take notes from As the World Turns- moving at a very fast pace and good stories. I think that's why GL has been steadily declining in the ratings. I'm afraid it will get cancelled. They already asked all actors to take a pay cut.

Glad to see this thred moving again.

I'm not sure what they're going to do, because I've read that all Philip's scenes were taped before he left. He apparently has no interest in returning. How many scenes could they possibly have taped?

I was sooo disappointed with the Bauer BBQ this year.

Oh yeah, and I've been watching on and off since about 1982 or so. Yeesh -- long time!

 

[Zandy595]

I've been watching for about 25 years. My grandma watched it when I was a kid and I started watching it with her.

This year's Bauer BBQ was awful, wasn't it? Could they have had less people there? LOL

They can't cancel GL. It's been on forever.

It's strange how Harley always talks about her kids just being Zack and Jude. You never hear anything about Susan/Daisy anymore.

 

[sweet angel]

We were just talking about that last night. Susan/Daisy was her daughter with Dylan, right? Who is Dylan's father? That's the part I couldn't remember!

Dylan's parents are Reba & Billy

Yep, Dylan is Susan's father. Billy is Dylan's dad.

Anyone care to fill me in on today's episode (Monday) and last Thursday (I think) -- where Josh talked to Jonathan and Reva confronted Alfred?

Forgot to tape today, and Thursday's was pre-empted.

Thanks!

I'm not trying to brag but I knew from the day he was "murdered" that Phillip wasn't dead. Like you said he is such a vital personality to the show. Plus, it always bugged me that Rick wasn't actually in the room treating Phillip saying he was too close to the patient but that didn't stop him when Michelle was in the explosion, Ed had a heart attack...so that almways struck me a weird. Perhaps Grant A. just wanted some time off to do other things like theatre etc. It wouldn't be the first time. I think he's back for good. I'll admit I'm disappointed with some of the storylines lately like the fact they dragged out this Phillip thing too long. I thought for sure when Alan had that spooky birthday party and he thought Harley had been killed in the bus crash that Phillip was going to walk in to the party. Just had to wait I guess. I love watching Jonathon. What's weird to me is that they are keeping the "feelings" between he and Tammy alive which is a little weird. Bear with my vivid imagination here, but do you think down the road they might find out Cassie and Reva aren't real sisters? Or maybe as secretive as San Cristobel is that Dex or one of Richard's aides switched babies afraid Olivia and her sister could be tracked down and the true heir could be harmed and even though he doesn't know it Jonathon may NOT really be Reva's son? Did they ever do DNA tests? I just see Tammy and Jonathon getting closer and I'm trying to figure out why they are doing that. And talking about kids being MIA with their "devoting" moms....where are Blake and Ross's kids and how old are they "supposed" to be?

I've been thinking the same thing. I think it's icky how they're making Tammy and Jonathon have feelings for each other, unless they're not really blood related.

Another GL fan here -- been watching since I was a little kid, because my grandmother & mother watched it as well.

I'm a little bored with the whole Philip thing -- I figured he wasn't dead and the whodunit got really old after a while.

I just read that Bill will be leaving and they're bringing Alan-Michael back. Wanna bet he'll be single???

I almost posted last week that I wished they would bring Alan-Michael back. I can't remember, did he and Lucy get married? I hope it's an actor I like. Have always really liked the actors who've played A-M.

I was finally getting used to Bill. At first I kept thinking of him as his 90210 character and couldn't see him as Bill.

 

[Jennifer S]

Allan-Michael and Lucy are married- I hope she comes back too. I loved her. It's weird with the whole cooper/Spaulding thing that they never mention those two- esp. when AM brother is murdered and Lucy's sister is the suspect.

I hope this show picks up the pace. I don't even tape it anymore when I miss it. I used to really love this show.

Oh - I hate JB and Tammy together - yuck! Sandy is such a nice guy.

It was quite a while ago, but AM & Lucy's wedding was held at WDW! I can't remember the details, but I know they had a few things going on down below in the tunnels -- with Philip, I believe. Someone was dressed up as a character, too.

Maybe someone with a better memory than me can clue us in on what happened.

Oh, I had totally forgotten about that. Wasn't Philip dressed like Frankenstein or something? That doesn't really make sense to me, but that's what popped into my head.

Anyone?

sweet angel ~ Try Soap Central.

 

[Zandy595]

I've been thinking about this all day. LOL I think AM and Lucy got married at Universal Studios. That would explain my memory of Philip as Frankenstein.

 

[Jennifer S]

The wedding was Disney- I remember Mickey Mouse being there. Maybe we could look it up somehow on CBS.com.
