VanessaReardon Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Ironically, GL’s Emmy wins In 1982 were right when Marland quit. I noticed that he didn’t thank Allen Potter by name - he thanked the producers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 Yes, and he was kissing Agnes Nixon’s ass majorly. I guess talks about Loving had already started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 I’d have to look at the timeline, but it appears that Denise was hired as Katie to replace Fran Myers as Peggy in the nurses station. Fran went to California and they needed someone behind that desk. Denise didn’t remember who she replaced in that “role.” Alan said he couldn’t find THE CRADLE WILL FALL online/streaming but it’s been on YouTube for years. Jerry seemed much more engaged this time and I’d love to see him again with his former love interests in a Ross-centric episode: Sherry. Liz. Jane. Toby. Kathleen. Maureen. Jean Carol. I’d love to see Mary Kay Adams in there too and hear why India/Ross didn’t happen. Until my dream episode of Mart, Lenore, Maureen, Millette, and Fran...I’ll keep watching but the “older” the better! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanessaReardon Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 My first time visiting a soap set was at GL in 1981 and I met Charita. Lovely woman. They all adored her on that set. She had such an outgoing personality. What a great treat to see the 1982 Emmys where she got to present the Best Show Emmy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 That Tony/Katie clip is fire! Greg Beecroft is one of the sexiest men in soap history on the strength of charisma alone. I felt tears well up when Charita announced GL as a nominee! She was and always will be Ms. Guiding Light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 Damn and hot Please register in order to view this content ! Anthony Geary...can't stand him....he comes off so smug before and after his win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 Did anybody catch today's reunion? Was anything remotely interesting said? (this is me blatantly trying to save me 1 hour of my time haha) I find it a bit annoying that Alan tries to keep it so PC. When Denise Pence had the courage to bring up Zaslow, finally something really compelling was being addressed. There was no need to dance around it because the fans were quite eager to get into details in the comments. The people who tune in for these things are die-hard fans and they are already disillusioned to the BTS drama. @antmunoz Yes, they were saying in the comments that the woman was Peggy Fletcher.

Members Franko Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 Slightly OT topic about the '82 Emmys: Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin) apparently had a lucrative side hustle as the go-to composer for daytime. He also contributed the legendary "Stories of Our Lives" opening from '88. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 Was there a live reunion today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanessaReardon Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I was getting annoyed at Alan Locher but now I do get that he was a publicist. Everything was always perfect all the time. As a publicist, you never talk controversy. We want to hear dirt, but the Locher Room is not where you’re gonna get it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 It's the "Actors who were woefully miscast in their roles, and therefore forgettable, or actors who played irrelevant characters who added nothing to TGL in the first place" reunion LOL I'm joking. It's the Boudreaux family. I think that cool anecdotes can come out of these random reunions, even if the participants had minor roles. However I'm just dreading the tech errors that might have taken place this time (I suffer from secondhand embarrassment). Maybe I'll check it out tomorrow. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I do understand his POV but still. Things like the Zaslow firing happened almost 30 years ago. P&G has long forgotten about this and nobody cares - except for us. I don't see the harm really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitch Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 Mr. Tony Reardon..hot as hell..poor Frank Cooper was always a pale imitation. I heard he was difficult but did Beacroft leave on his own and why was he never asked back as an older, wiser, even sexier Tony? Wonder what he would have been like it Ehlers..or even Zimmer??Brown does look overjoyed at that time with GH GL was an also ran and that and the other ABC shows were getting all the press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gimmetoo Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 Denise said in her Locher Room interview how surprised she was that they used that clip at the ceremony for GL's Best Show Emmy. It was pretty steamy and Greg B was delicious. Not sure why he didn't go further with his career. Always enjoyed him... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted May 13, 2020 Members Share Posted May 13, 2020 Interesting how Douglas gives a shout out to Agnes Nixon in his acceptance speech, and soon after that he and Nixon got together and created Loving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 14, 2020 Members Share Posted May 14, 2020 So funny to see him then looking like a nice young insurance salesman. 40 years later, he’s a leather daddy. All things considered, he’s aged well. OT: I can’t with how extra both Tony Geary and Robin Strasser were when they won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
