Ohhh Willow and Sidwell teaming up? That's fun.

Oh that ending was good! Really great Valentine's Day episode... had romance, eroticism, family, disappointment, flirtation... great stuff!

Vanessa!!!! *clutches pearls* 🫣😜

Haha yep, that was Matt/Vanessa's wedding. Nola's cooking got everyone sick with food poisoning and they had to put everyone's "rival" together in hospital rooms. Yep, Nola returned in August 1995 and this wedding was October 1995, right before Nadine died later that month.

OMG they just pulled out Johnnie Cochran during Annie's trial??? LOL - first Rudy G and now Johnnie. I can't believe it 😂

Appreciate those details, and you're right, I would feel like I'm missing out on certain things. And gosh, I hate that the Blake Marler YT channel is gone. Such a blow, and to see everyone's comments on the episodes gone is sad.

Ohhh I would love that! The Vault has episodes from those years, but it's sporadic and not complete, but I may just go find an episode from Summer '90 and give it a peek. I'll keep that in mind with the June 1992 idea. I think starting Feb 1992 is when most, if not all, the episodes are there, so I might just start there too. And I love that. :)

Ahh I forgot today's episode is a repeat. I turned it on and saw Doug and thought omg, he's back? And then realized haha...

That's what I struggle with haha. I would love to start in 89 with Roger's return, but sadly the Vault where I watch these episodes doesn't have a full catalog until around mid-1992 or so. I really hate having to miss episodes so jumping around without seeing everything in order is hard for me. I am curious, @GL95 - are you watching the show and this period from the Vault or do you have a different place where you can view episodes? Are you missing certain episodes and does that bother you?

Now THIS is the Vanessa I like haha. She looks fabulous in that purple dress with the longer hair. I didn't realize men used to wear formal gloves like Billy is during their wedding. Thanks for posting these :)

Thank you! I remember hearing about Kat last year, so this makes sense. I can't wait to see that bachelor party episode you mentioned. And I should have caught myself re: Vanessa's outfits, I know you've told me before how she dresses, so it makes a lot of sense. To be honest, I need a Reva break haha, especially this current sanctimonious soccer mom version I'm currently watching. So technically most people found out Reva was alive when Alex walked into Josh and Annie's wedding and announced it because of the diner's grainy camera taping Reva and Buzz dancing. They couldn't believe it, but they eventually did and then at the ball, that's where Reva came out in her red dress and purposefully got into it with Josh in front of everyone.

LOL - it drew me in so quickly! I have to confess, I had too much wine last night and it shows in my posts LOL. Oh well :) So I'm going to stick with my current 1999 viewing for now. I want to get to at least August - I want to see the remote location shoot and then see how Annie leaves the show. I know she leaves in July 1999, but I don't know how and am curious to at least end that story arc. Then I think it'll be time to go back to the early 90s, which I'm very excited about! I started watching GL last March of 2025, so I'm coming up on my one-year anniversary which is wild how much time flies! I bet by next month, I'll be to my goal of August 1999, which means I'll have watched Feb 1995 - August 1999 all within a year, with no fast forwarding or skipping episodes. Quite the accomplishment :)

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.

@P.J. - how can you hate this man?!? 😜

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 :)
