I truly believe that the show started to decline when the Spaulding family became more the focus instead of the Bauers.

Vanessa is another character that underwent A BIG Change in character over a few years!

Guiding Light had the cheapest looking sets compared with the Young and the Restless. Glad they came up to speed in later years. But GL had amazing acting talent.

Nola was the best character on the show. Lisa Brown was an amazing actress that even Bette Davis wrote to her and praised her acting skills that’s high praise from the greatest dramatic actress in Hollywood history.

The best soap opera EVER! #ATWT. Gone but not 4gotten.

They had him die of cancer. I think that was the case for the actor that played Dan. Am I remembering this right? I was just a teenager watching with my mom.

Is this the original Tom ??

There is nothing better than loving your uncle Holden since Lilly is his nieve via Ivy ( being her natural/ biological mother, not Lucinda)😅

Gotta love Rita merrily telling confidential patient information to her sister! My mom was a nurse, and even back then that didn’t fly! But it was a soap, so ok! 😂

I remember the Kelly, Nola, Floyd, and Morgan quadrangle. Nola was a snake.

Alan Spaulding was a dirtbag.

Can you make me a cabinet? Why yes, I can. Are you sure you know what you are doing? Am I sure!? I AM APOLLO!!

The one and only Alan Spaulding.

UK Courtroom Scenes on Soaps are just as surreal. The Lawyers have to wear Wigs, A Smock and a Gown as does the Judge. The Witness has to stand up throughout questioning and when they are convicted they are hauled downstairs like going into a Dungeon. Phooebe Dynevor's Mother Sally who plays Sally Metcalfe on Coronation Street went downstairs and cried over and over she didn't want to go to Prison.

Dr. Sedgwick was on GL forever❤. She did not change much from the 80s throughout the late 90s.

❤❤❤❤❤

Mart Huswitt was the best Ed Bauer. With Peter Simon in 2nd. And Richard Van Fleet in 3rd.

Actually Joyce was wrong - another woman wanted Donald: Mary (who ALSO had a fling with Ralph - they were engaged for a time - but when Ralph realized she loved Donald more, he released Mary from her commitment).

There's only one Alan Spaulding!! RIP Chris Bernau 💔

Rita was my favorite actress on the guiding light

I loved As The World Turns.And The Guiding Light.

This aired during the several months that Joyce was presumed to have been killed in an accident where the car she was driving (Dr. Bob's) went off a bridge and into a river (although her body wasn't recovered) and Don & Mary were trying to move on. Per the SOD synopsis back then Chris & Don were discussing Don's getting a divorce in absentia from Joyce on the grounds of desertion (since it would take 7 years to get someone declared legally dead). Obviously later in the Oakdale universe the Hughes had the clout of the Kennedys since they at the end of 1979 (less than 6 months after Joyce's accident) got a court order declaring her legally dead (so that Don and Mary could marry). Of course right after that, Joyce shows up very much alive (at least Don & Mary didn't marry yet or that would have created a huge pickle since Joyce was still legally married to Don - or would be once the court order was rescinded).

I loved watching As The World Turns.

The late great Terry Lester.

Loved this show. I remembered this episode watched it with my dad. It was a very intense episode.

Where have Susan and Emily been?

Wow this brings back so many memories 😊 I miss GL!

John and Kim became close as the years went by. She would call him pal. He would come to her for advise. I don’t think he ever stopped loving her.

😋😃😃😃😃😍

Soap channel Just for This Show Hallmark Channel ❤😊🥧🌞🔥😎😋⭐️

I forgot about the actress playing Betsy before Meg Ryan.

Wait GL had three characters named Ben. This ben, ross brother ben and ben the murder Fletcher son.

Dee always made such stupid decisions, like marrying John Dixon 😮

All these years later and I still don't know who Betsy's real parents were I must have missed hearing it mentioned back then

Rachel Kelly and the lady that played her mother was also pretty.

I Love Soap Classics 50s, 60s,70s, and 80s that put me In The Mood

Rita Bauer was my favorite actress on here.

Me and my late Mom used to watch it everyday when I was a teenager.

I love this soap so much.

This era is beautiful. ❤ After just a totally confusion

I love that Hester is polite enough to keep calling Lisa "Mrs. Colman" even when she's trying to murder her.

Teddy Ellison would return in the late 90's all grown up and named Ryder Hughes.

Interesting I didn't remember any other actress playing the role of Betsy

no I do not know any of these shows that used two come out on tv because I was born in 2002 kid.

Larry Bryggman looks so young & dapper here. John & Kim always had contentious relationship. They were more frenimies than friends. Granted they co-parented Andy but Kim always kept an eye on John.
