I was 10 years old when I started watching Guiding Light. The first storylines I saw were the Reva and Annie trail. I remember asking my Grandmother who H.B. Lewis was. She told me all about Reva's marriages to the Lewis men. 😂
I remember HB would read the story of the birth of Christ each Christmas. I also learned from HB about forgiveness. He didn't hate Reva and Josh. I learned that.
Revisiting this episode. I see Hart #3, Dinah #2, Mindy #2 (and 4, today, with 2 in between, lol), Cassie #1, Blake #2, Alan #2, the original Peter, the orginal Bill, Marah #2, Shane #3, I think...Phillip #2....lol.
This is from 2/28/03. Great to see the old characters back. Wish they had brought some of these back for the 50th. Andy could have been pulled in to help Diane when she was framed. Snapper and Greg would be tougher with the horrible retcon of Jill's adoption. I hope you have more classic Y&R! BTW, it would be best to remove Y&R from the title to avoid takedown notices.
Something just felt off about this funeral. I don't think these writers knew how to write for the characters. It was great to see Trish, Wanda, fauxMindy, and Dylan. This is the beginning of them ruining Dinah in order to prop Cassie - one of my all-time least favorite characters in the show's history. Maeve Maguire was brilliant as always as Vanessa. And it was sure nice to see HB and Henry in the flashback. I think ATWT did much better with their tribute to Don McLaughlin, who played patriarch Chris Hughes. But that's just my opinion.
I don't think those people were acting that were crying.. I think they REALLY got into the lady singing and cried real tears - I know I did!! What a spectacular version of a great old hymn!
I can't believe that GL didn't sign Rebecca Hollen to a contract right then and there. A perfect foil to Blake for Ross's affections. A rock of the Lewis clan. GL did family better than most.
Best part about that episode1. Phillip's comments about his Aunt Alex then Mindy asking about his better half (RICK not Beth). 2. Billy's face when he saw Mindy and Dylan. and finally 3. That kiss and lingering hand hold by Ross and Trish. and this exchange. Blake: Is there something I need to know? Ross: You're not the only one with a past.
Also if this were a UK Soap, William Roerick and Larry Gates (RIP) would have been voted Best Double Act who bring out the best in each other in terms of acting performances.
After the war my Oma moved to the us with her GI Husband! My Grandfather. She learned English be listening to GL on the Radio. 3 generations of women watched GL I wish my girls could of watched it with me😢 thanks for the memories!
Hello RC! Hope all is Well and Safe! Thank You! GREATLY APPRECIATED the UPLOAD and VIDEO! This brought back good memories for me. A good time in my life. The vintage commercials were great watching them again!
