"Oh better yet, there's your lovely princess now. Ask HER!." Beverlee McKinsey is a freaking legend!! Seriously. She and Susan Flannery are greatest actresses to ever grace a daytime television screen.
What I wouldn't have given to have seen some sort of crossover where Alexandra Spaulding, Stephanie Forrester, Katherine Chancellor and Lucinda Walsh all meet...
I am..........speechless. I'm so glad this aired on a Friday!! Somehow they corrected the schedule. Everyone watching this live from home in 1991 must have been like😲...I would've been too scared to take a bathroom break...lol. This is hands down one of the top 5 soap episodes of all time!! (at least to me it is...lol) The background music, the actors, the drama!! Everybody was amazing!! Clarke, Hammer, Carol, Kinkead, Irizarry, Simms, Zaslow and the GOAT Beverlee Mckinsey!!👏👏👏👏
I totally agree Kristia. I was in high school at the time, and was glued to my TV set. I’d get home in time to watch Guiding Light (and then Santa Barbara after that), and this is hands down one of my all time favorite episodes. The whole tension was palpable throughout, and that music just added to it. I literally would had to run to the bathroom to make sure I was back.
it was very exciting. specially since it was a year of build up. Alexandra had forced Mindy into providing evidence of the affair, then Holly lured Roger to Dominican Republic to seduce him. But I think after this Kimberly Simms contract was up, & Mindy left town. that fight was great ! This and the blackout episode- some of the best writing ever.
KS was my Mindy! The original would've been eaten alive by Michael Zaslow and Bev McKinsey. KS held her own, and the story soared. Also, no recast could follow her successfully.
Great how Fletcher returned for ALEXANDRA in last episodes of GL. When the lights dimmed and unfortunately died! RIP, Beverlee, Marj, all the incredibly talented people who like GL are gone! 🎉
I always liked that "GL", "AMC", and "AW" had a variety of characters and diversity. And, they had great storylines. For example, Angie and Jesse, David and Kat, Quinn and her brother as well as Morgan Freeman as her potential significant. Brilliant job!!!!❤👍
GL and AW along with ATWT were the best daytime soaps ever made. Irma Philips was one of the best if not the best soap creator ever. all of the couples on all three of those shows were all amazing. Beverley was awsome as Alexandra on GL as well as iris on both AW/Texas especially on the former the Rachel/ iris beef along with the Alex and India beef on GL were both so entertaining. It’s a shame cbs and nbc decided to give up on those three shows cbs throwing away ATWT and GL and nbc on AW respectfully while cbs decided to keep its last two unwatchable shows both Y+R and B+B especially the latter both shows had much much lower numbers than GL and ATWT while when days was on nbc it had a 1.6 rating compared to AW which had higher numbers somewhere between a 2.3 or a 2.9 number yet nbc decided to give days thousands of chances with its very stupid devil possession story. daytime just isn’t the same anymore
