Members amybrickwallace Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 I miss commercials like that. I love that sense of warmth and nostalgia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted March 17, 2018 Members Share Posted March 17, 2018 An Italian tribute to The Guiding Light upon its cancellation. I LOVE the alternate versions of the show's various themes, and seeing Rev. Ruthledge, Bert, Papa, Mike, the real Ed, etc., made me all chgoked up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 18, 2018 Members Share Posted March 18, 2018 I knew GL was popular in Germany (with the main family being named Bauer, it's probably not a surprise), but didn't know how successful it was in other non-U.S. countries. That was a great tribute. Thanks for sharing the link. 😎 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted March 18, 2018 Members Share Posted March 18, 2018 I've seen GL clips from Germany, Italy, and Iceland. There were some Italian dubbed episodes posted earlier in the thread. I mentioned before that I didn't think P&G exported their shows globally the way Y&R/B&B were. I know As the World Turns aired in Netherlands, and Another World might have aired in Australia, but I don't know if P&G's other long running shows like Search for Tomorrow or The Edge of Night aired internationally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted March 19, 2018 Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 Another World and The Edge of Night aired in Canada for many and were enormously popular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted March 19, 2018 Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 Has Nia Long ever really talked about her time on the show in any interviews after she left? I just stumbled upon her Uncensored episode on TV One, and she basically said GL was her first acting gig, and then jumped right into talking about her role in Boys n the Hood. It was so disappointing that she didn't even really talk about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted March 19, 2018 Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 Nice "home-style" commercial. Too bad Stove Top is nasty, though. :-P Give me the real deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 19, 2018 Author Members Share Posted March 19, 2018 Another World and SFT aired in Australia for several years. ATWT had 2 short runs on different networks in the 70s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted March 20, 2018 Members Share Posted March 20, 2018 Nia Long will be on The Talk on Thursday, and I'm sure Sheryl Underwood will bring up her time on GL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 20, 2018 Members Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm pretty sure she will, too. I love how Sheryl has such a love of soaps, past and present. She was in her element in late 2016 when the casts of ATWT, GL, Y&R and B&B were on for an episode to celebrate CBS Daytime being #1 for 30 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted March 23, 2018 Members Share Posted March 23, 2018 Nia Long was on The Talk today. Her segment was about 10 minutes and she talked about her new Netflix movie and her role on NCIS: Los Angeles. No mention of GL at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 23, 2018 Members Share Posted March 23, 2018 I saw the segment and couldn't help but think that it's likely Sheryl wasn't watching GL in the 90s and had no idea Nia Long was on the show. Someone should've done research. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted March 23, 2018 Members Share Posted March 23, 2018 Sheryl Underwood knew Taye Diggs was on GL so we knew she was watching in the late 1990s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
