Guiding Light Discussion Thread
I'm super late to the party but I just found out about Bandstandmike's YouTube takedown! 🤬🤬 I had half a mind to archive them but I never got around to it. I'm so sad. I haven't really followed GL but it was a goldmine of Cynthia Watros as Annie and the Maureen Bauer death story. Now I'm contemplating opening up a vault for GL episodes, like I have with Y&R + B&B. Hopefully between all of us we can recover much of that collection and perhaps get Mike motivated again to upload there instead.

Anybody Ever Write their own Soap?
So... Back when I was in Grade 12, one of my ComTech classes required us to create a video of some sorts. So I decided to go overkill and try my hand a producing a 3-episode soap opera. It was called "Retribution" and it was a continuation of a Trailer Project that I had done for a previous class in Grade 11 in Drama/Soap Opera Form. It was a lot of work and quite frankly, I just ripped off the 2001 Tricia Dennison Story from the Young and the Restless lmao. But at the crux of it, I really wanted to recreate some of the beats, the camera movements, and the music direction that Y&R was known for back in the day. (Here's the only one I feel worth taking a peek at. Please be gentle with the acting, wewere not professionals haha.) Then back in third year University, I wanted to revive the project as a continuation of the storyline 6 years later - but as young adults it was very had to coordinate and schedule everything, so the project never got finished. Below is one of the scenes that I've managed to tape and edit haha. Fast forward to today, at the beginning of the year I've been taking acting classes and a handful of us got pretty close during COVID since we've been having weekly Zoom parties. We've been itching to have some kind of acting-related project done, so last week was "Pitch Week". Everyone pitched an idea, but as usual, I went overkill and had a PowerPoint done. In essence, I wanted to create a web series chronicling the lives and drama of Millennials living in a trendy urban neighbourhood (keep it simple and not too complicated as that would be an increase in time and money LOL). I came up with the characters, the "A" story, the "B" story, and the "C" story, the general outline of the Pilot, where we would be able to tape, and what I wanted the show to look and sound like (which of course is 1999-2001 era Y&R). I called it "CityPlace: The Web Series" after a modern neighbourhood in downtown Toronto and I drew inspiration mainly from Season 1 Melrose Place since the premise is very similar. Unfortunately they decided it woudn't be fair to the others to cast a vote then and there since I've pretty much skewed the playing field LOL so this week they're going to develop their pitches even further. TL;DR, yes I've dabbled a little in soap/drama writing. 😅

Y&R: Old Articles
Hey everyone! I'm beginning the process of backing up the OneDrive locally in case anything happens to the account. I'll be doing this periodically (I'm thinking monthly). I will be adding to my signature a "Date Last Backed Up" section so in the event I have to migrate the files to another server, it'll be easy to see at which point some pieces went missing. Thank you everyone on here for contributing to the Vault as we affectionately call it. With everyone's cooperation we are one step closer to having one of the biggest shareable Y&R collections that can be accessed online.

Thank you so much for uploading! Loved 2000-2002 B&B. Fun fact: this was around the time frame I noticed Katherine Kelly Lang had her face lift/blepharoplasty (there's a noticeable difference in her appearance between episodes 3614 and 3619). These two images were taken within a month from each other.

Racism and racial representation on soaps
I'm confused by all of this. On Chloe's social media it's apparent she is in full support of the BLM movement.
