Members josephm68 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm just a casual observer here...don't usually post at all. However, I must say that I've watched soaps since the harding lemay years on another world. this show is great right now. yes, i stopped watching, however, i tuned back in during the past month or so and I simply love it. i understand the limited budget with the sets...and frankly, i love the outdoor scenes. i find it very hard to switch back to "regular" soaps after watching guiding light lately. and yes, the writing is vastly improved and even entertaining. i'm puzzled by the high amount of negativity....even when it's greatly improved imo. everyone has their own right to feel the way they do, however, i just wanted to ask are people actually watching the same show i am for the past month or so? if not...please tune in. don't base so much on a 30 second ad....this show needs our support right now...and I feel that they are finally putting out a product worthy of my time. the outdoor scenes on traditional shows look so stupid now...i think guiding light may be on to something...as long as the writing stays good.

Members josephm68 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 also...do alan and beth really have many friends in town to attend a wedding? i mean who would really go. i think an empty church testifies to alan's craziness...to go through with a big wedding and all the trappings to embarass beth whom he saw cheating on him this week. to me, it looks like the scene was based out of character...not not wanting to pay extras or actors.

Members Phoenix11 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Agreed. I don't know anyone in SF who would attend the wedding besides Lillian and maybe Alex. If Alan wanted a big production, he could "hire" guests. I think it would be wrong to have a big wedding with a lot of guests. I also agree with your previous post that the show is really good right now. I can't wait to get home each day and see the show and I haven't felt that way in a LONG time.

Members josephm68 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 phoenix....lol....good to hear! sometimes i feel like i'm losing my mind when i read some of things people have said...it just does not match what's on the tv currently....a year ago, perhaps, but not what's airing the last couple of months.....to me, it's just not that bad...and in some aspects very good.

Members jfung79 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Glad there are others who feel the show is good these days! Please consider posting in the GL January Discussion thread, it's pretty lonely there (not even complainers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I kinda understand why the church would be empty, I mean it is Alan and Beth who are getting married. Those two don't have many friends you know, esp. Alan. Promo looks good. I was wondering today that GL really needs to prove itself with this production model, and I thought they could do it with a great explosion. I just hope the show remembers that Dinah and Phillip are cousins this time around. Hell I hope they remember Phillip is a Marler. I know I'm asking way too much though from this writing team.

Members jfung79 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I think they definitely remember, but whether they reference it depends on whether they want to re-open the emotional wounds of Phillip being indirectly responsible for Ross's death because Ross was looking for him.

Members DavidsMuse Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Beth marrying Alan deserves to have no one there but Lujack's ghost haunting her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 It's such a shame Ron Carlivati is content writing for Jerry verDorn. I think OLTL should write him out. I just can't take him seriously as Clint after so many years of watching him as Ross. EDIT: That's a perfect way to give the show some kind of patriarch. Why not bring back Justin? PERFECT! Get on that Wheeler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 8, 2009 Members Share Posted February 8, 2009 Just visited a dvd website and a Grant Aleksander(Philip) promo popped up on my screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 9, 2009 Members Share Posted February 9, 2009 Didn't know where else to post this, but here's TV Guide's "Up Close" interview with Grant Aleksander and Beth Chamberlin. I like they they used some clips from Phillip and Beth's 1991 wedding, it's one of the first GL episodes I vividly remember watching. For years, I wanted a wedding with the same format, if I ever got married. LOL! It was such a classic themed wedding. Crap, it won't allow me to embed the video, but you can see it on this blog: http://www.welovesoaps.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
