Thank you for clarifying that. Now that I'm between jobs I should definitely have the time to check out the thread...

Does anyone know where I could find a list of the characters from the time travel storyline? One that shows which characters from the present were seen as in the past? Thanks! I know it wasn't a popular storyline, but I'm working on my cast lists from this show, and even though they weren't popular, but I still consider them characters. Unfortunately, I took a break from GL at the time and now I'm trying to fill in some blanks.

on April 2, 1986, Ellen Parker took over the role of Maureen Bauer

[DRW50]

I was watching an early Quint/Nola clip (late 1981, I'm guessing - it's during the Diane Ballard murder investigation), and Nola says while they're on a plane to San Francisco that he doesn't know what it was like for her to sleep with three sisters.

I guess they rewrote that later on, as the only sister we saw for her run was Maureen. Then later they brought in Chelsea.

Don't forget Lana.

[Mitch]

Was Lana "real," or a fan fiction thing?

[Khan]

I'm pretty sure Lana was talked about on the show.

[DRW50]

I've been watching some Quint and Nola clips with my mother (who was a fan of theirs back in the day - not a big fan but she liked them - so it's been nice to see the clips with her), and I'm trying to figure out when Marland left exactly and when the writing shifted. Was it around St. Croix?

Watching this clip is weird, because I don't remember Gracie ever being so aggressive toward Nola before (or toward anything). She says some pretty harsh things about Nola's patterns with men and about how untrustworthy Quint is. While I guess someone did need to say this, I wonder if it would have been said when Marland was there (or was this still him)? I mostly just remember, in the few clips I've seen of Gracie before this time, happily enabling Nola.

Bryan Buffinton explains his 1998 departure from GL

Bryan Scott ‏@bryanbuff 10h

@BlakeBentley1 @Guiding_Light Thanks. They had to. I was going to college and they recast Michelle with Budig (who was great but much older)

[DRW50]

I didn't even know he was on Twitter.

I had to laugh when he called AHS a good show and said Murphy knew how it was going to end. I doubt it.

[cassadine1991]

Rachel Miner and even Ashley Peldon (Marah #2) are on Twitter as well

The show was actually pretty good at this time..as the Reva/Annie thing hadnt quite gone overboard. I liked how they included other people. Raines was a terrible Alan.

[Khan]

At the time, "Annie vs. Reva" seemed like a very exciting story -- or it was, until TPTB got drunk on the whole thing. In retrospect, though, it seems so odd that such a JER-esque tale ever occurred on GUIDING LIGHT.
