W :o W !

I haven't watched the show in a while, so imagine my amazement when I turn on the telelvision and see Marcy Rylan crying her heart out as Lizzie, Beth Ehlers being as Harley as possible, Ron Raines portraying Alan's compassion with a hint of bullsh*t, and Yvonna Wright actually on my TV screen!

Whoever wrote today's episode script/dialogue did an amazing job!!

Amazing dialogue between everyone who shared scenes today. A special recognition to the Alan/Beth, Dinah/anyone, and Lizzie/anyone scenes.

Gillespie got away. :rolleyes: Imagine that.

Doris Wolfe is a crooked D.A. :rolleyes: Imagine that.

LMAO when Remy was drunk and hitting on Dinah, even pulling her into the shower with him, and subsequently sad when, through dialogue, it showed he was really mourning the loss of Tammy and taking it hard. :(

AWESOME show today!! In every aspect. The only three parts I didn't like was what a charicature villain Alan has become, getting away with every plot and scheme, taking as many lives as necessary in the process....that Gillespie guy getting extradited to Australia and crooked Doris trying her best to seduce Alan....and bratty Daisy/Susan/whatever.

I loved it! I am loving the fact that I am enjoying the show lately!

I liked the Mel/Remy scenes when they discussed Remy's past problems with his father.Remy brought up that he was first going to be a musician,then a physical therapist then a cop. They are paying attention the history of the characters. That is good.

A match between Doris-one of my favorite minor characters- and Alan is going to be fun to watch!

Q Steph and DruRocks, I have been super critical of my second favorite shoiw. I even tuned out and haven't really watched in months.

I have been watching more regularily the last couple of weeks and the show IS getting good again.

Of course,ATWT is slipping.That may be making GL look better to me.

I would give it another try!!!!

Seriously, tell your friends, tell your family tell anyone that will listen- They need to turn on the Light. This show has been fantastic lately. Todays episode was no exception, I love the idea of alan/doris, Lizzie did an excellent job and I might not love remy but he is growing on me and I enjoyed his and mel's scenes.

2007: THIS IS GUIDING LIGHT'S YEAR AND IT SURE IS SHINING BRIGHT!!!! :)

To answer your question, Steph....

Tammy didn't return to haunt Cassie. As far as I know, T.G. is gone. I just get Lizzie and Tammy confused sometimes....I went back and edited that. Sorry.

Lizzie's scenes were awesome. She was holding Roxie the dog, saying that she was a mother once. How she had the most beautiful baby girl. Then she said that she couldn't do this anymore. Vowed that she was a Spaulding and she was a force to be reckoned with. Soon, Beth arrived and the two shared AMAZING scenes together. (Marcy and Beth have impeccable chemistry together).

Then, snap to Lizzie showing up at Outskirts, wanting to talk about byuing the place from Billy. The bartended asked if she'd make it some sort of memorial to Jonathan. She said no, she'd bulldoze the place down. Then, Remy tore into her. Lizzie cried, saying that she and Tammy were friends. They might have done horrible things to one another, but deep down, they were friends.

Dinah pulled Remy off of Lizzie, leaving Lizzie alone. Then she discovered (on the counter behind the bar) an 8x10 wedding picture of Jammy/Sarah. Then she saw a little bootie sitting on top of it. Said "This can't be." Something about how Sarah was wearing it the day she 'died'.

Basically. GL was phenomenal today!!!!!

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
