I don't understand why Guiding Light keeps getting targeted on YouTube? As The World Turns accounts haven't been affected. Neither has Another World or Edge of Night Why does YouTube keep targeting Guiding Light, and not the other P&G soaps that have libraries of episodes on YouTube Any speculation?

I read somewhere that it was between Signy Coleman and Teresa Blake (Gloria Marsh AMC) for the role. In an interview with the Locher Room, Signy's ex-husband (Vincent Irizarry) claims he pulled some string for Signy to get the part. Because he wanted his daughter on the East Coast, and that would happen if Signy got a role of a NY Soap.

Before CBS cancelled GL, TPTB were actually holding auditions for a recast Michelle Bauer. Which seems such an insult to Nancy St. Alban, as she was available to come back to the role. There was talk that Martha Madison (Belle, Days of our Lives) was the leading contender the part. But then they got cancelled, and to close things up they brought Nancy back as Michelle for the final episodes.

I've always said that Marcy Walker should've been cast as a recast Morgan instead of "Tangie" - as that was Walker's biggest complaint. Tangie had no ties to anyone in Springfield (other than a tenuous one with Roger). As a recast Morgan, that character had direct ties to both the Bauer family & the Spaulding family.

ALL: Soap stars who reportedly didnt get along on set which soap actor feuds were real and which were just fan rumors
Susan could've gotten top billing if she really insisted on it. However she always saw AMC as an ensemble show. Back in the day when she was a huge star, she never complained about sharing a dressing room (as everyone shared a dressing room back in the day) Later when Jane Elliot and Marcy Walker went to West Coast soaps, and certain actor would complain about their dressing rooms, they always pointed out that Susan Lucci shared a dressing room, and never complained.

ALL: Soap stars who reportedly didnt get along on set which soap actor feuds were real and which were just fan rumors
William J. Bell was NOT happy. He hauled both of them into his office (one at a time) and reamed them out. Saying in no uncertain terms, that if this happens again they would be terminated. Bell really read both Braeden and Bergman the riot act. Braeden took it very seriously, as he had nothing but utmost respect for Bell.

Another World Discussion Thread
Though this is about "Days of our Lives" - Actress Lisa Rinna has written her autobiography, and writes about the living hell she went through working with Robert Kelker-Kelly (Sam - Another World) Lisa Rinna Says Robert Kelker-Kelly "Made My Life a Living Hell" “Behind-the-scenes we hated each other,” Rinna wrote. Declaring that Kelker-Kelly was “horrible to me,” Rinna mused of his behavior, “I’d go so far as to say [he was] verbally abusive. He was passive aggressive, manipulative, and played weird mind games,” she alleged, adding, “I had to work with him every day, often half naked to do love scenes. If I didn’t do what he wanted, he’d give me the silent treatment.” She characterized the actor as “a ticking time bomb” and revealed, “I never knew when I arrived on set each morning if I’d get nice Robert Kelker-Kelly or dark Robert Kelker-Kelly. He was unpredictable and it was exhausting.” The actress confided, “I regret that I stood up to Robert, because I was too young, and I was not willing to make waves at my awesome new job … I still lacked assertiveness and self-confidence when it came to men.” She then asserted, “If Robert Kelker-Kelly was in my Housewives orbit today, he never would have gotten away with his behavior.” While the tension between her and Kelker-Kelly had a negative impact on Rinna’s DAYS experience, she praised her female co-stars, including Kristian Alfonso, who returned as Hope (or “Gina,” as the amnesiac character was known at first) in 1994. “Kristian and I commiserated and looked out for each other,” wrote Rinna. “All the women on DAYS did.” When Kelker-Kelly was fired from "Days of our Lives", Rinna and co-star Kristian Alfonso were given their “own full-time security detail.” Rinna told readers, “I wasn’t worried about physical harm, but NBC had to cover their ass. We had rent-a-cops parked outside our houses and trailers for three weeks and were driven to and from work.”
