Guiding Light Discussion Thread

Ok, was watching other soap opera stuff and this came up as my next suggested video and wow...
THIS is the Guiding Light I loved and want more of. 1995 has remnants of this vibe that I fell in love with. I think I'm having a midlife crisis where anything from the early/mid-90s makes me feel nostalgic haha, but honestly this is what I can't wait to see more of. This episode gave me the community vibe I love from Springfield.
Ed and Maureen wanting to go to Hamp's to watch the Super Bowl (or maybe some other important game)! Watching Hamp in a scene where he isn't reduced to playing a saxophone is amazing. I don't know who the lady he's with is, but it's cute. Then my favorite scene of the episode - Hamp, Ed, Ross, Fletcher and Billy watching the football game together. These are scenes I want to see more of. Bonding, friendship and realistic stuff.
Seeing Holly and Roger flirt at the diner - omg! This is the couple I love. Fletcher - no. Then Lillian came in and David talked to her, aww. I could easily see Roger helping a crazy Holly during her child kidnapping days.
Eleni actually having a life and personality, and seeing Alan-Michael with her, I'm already in love with these two and their dark hair together haha. Honestly Rick Hearst could get it when he was that young. This episode alone makes me realize the recast Eleni was nothing in the eyes of TPTB.
This is wild seeing Eleni, Blake, Maureen and little Michelle dancing together and being friends. You don't see Michelle, Eleni or Blake ever interacting in 1995, just 2.5 years later. Ugh.
This Mallet guy is hot... and honestly Beth Ehlers aged very well.
Most importantly, @P.J. - Henry calling Jenna "Jen", and treating her like a daughter. Vanessa, looking way too overdressed, seeming way too upset with Henry's feelings for Jenna haha. Gosh I miss Henry, what a sweet man. Oh and this is when Billy was there...
Ohh and a note that Lillian left Ed!
No Reva. No Josh. And I loved this episode. GL was and could have been GL without them.

That would be a blast. So many soap feuds could go on there.
@Soapsuds By the time they tell him who they are and hear about his own personal and family experiences the interview would be over...so maybe that actually would be a good way to make peace.

All My Children Tribute Thread

You're welcome! I was happy to finally find time to watch this, because this storyline was so important to me as a young kid. After watching it, I felt like Chris was very supportive of it and the political talk towards the end was so reminiscent of what I live in today. I don't want to get political, but Chris surprised me and I was appreciative of his thoughts.
Wilson really impressed me. He was so prepared, articulate and compassionate. He seems way younger than he should be haha.
AMC in this era was really quite entertaining and informative. I love that show :)
