Just FYI: Robert Bogue (Mallet) has another featured voice role in the new Grand Theft Auto V, releasing tomorrow at midnight. I thought I heard his voice while watching some video from the game, and I checked into it and it's him.

The Rockstar Games projects, and the GTA series in particular, have often featured soap alumni, particularly a number of alumni from OLTL and GL. GTA IV featured the late Doris Belack (and Sunset Beach's Tim Adams, who played Ron Walsh on OLTL), and Bogue played an ambitious bouncer in the game's second expansion, The Ballad of Gay Tony.

I always liked Bogue, and he has a facility for dark comedy that both of his GTA credits enjoy.

Can't,believe it's been 4 years

From November 1985, Mindy's wedding to Kurt Corday when Billy went nuts...

Edited September 20, 201312 yr by soapfan770

Thanks. Such a silly story, even if the wedding was gorgeously filmed.

I was reading a Doug Marland interview from late 1980, and he talked a little about his plans for GL. They included some that I know happened, and some like a Jennifer/Mike romance (did that happen?). He also said Sara would get romance, which I don't think happened. He said he really wanted to do more with Sara and Bert.

I hate that P&G forced Milette Alexander out.

Sara did get romance during Marland's reign. He paired her with Adam Thorpe and they got married. And Mike and Jennifer did date for a bit but then Jennifer got involved with Mark Evans.

Thanks. I thought she and Adam were already together when he arrived.

Sara's last "romance" was with Adam, uninspired and rushed as I remember, and really just to drive another stake in Barbara's heart. She always lived Adam.

Bert was doing Dr. Jackson and I'll never believe otherwise. He was over for dinner WAY too much.

Mike. The Stud of Springfield. He "dated" everyone, including Jennifer. As upstanding as he was supposed to be, he had no problem helping Elizabeth commit adultery on TWO husbands! And once while he was "dating" Jackie! Mike was seeing Alexandra when he left the show--there was still a lot of life left in the old boy.

I also recall Mike dated Trish ,Lillian and Helena.

Thomas123853 posted an episode from 1977 on youtube. It's the Man of the Year Awards dinner for Mike Bauer where Bill Bauer is secretly watching on the sidelines. It features so many wonderful characters and moments. Besides the Bauers, there's the original Hilary Bauer, Rita, Bert and Steve Jackson flirting, very early Katie Parker and Peggy Thorpe toward the end of her run. I love, love Fran Myers and she is typically understated and fabulous. She has the most beautiful eyes.

It's taped from the TV so turn your volume WAY up, but it's a gem.

Thanks. That was an episode on a Soap Classics DVD of a few years ago. I still wish they were allowed to keep going.

Yet another GL alum does Grand Theft Auto V - Beth Chamberlin as black widow Abigail Mathers, a side mission character.

For the record, also, here's Robert Bogue as corrupt "FIB" (FBI) agent Steven Haines, one of the key villains of the game. He's often seen in active missions, but he also is a TV star who hosts a "true crime" show, as seen here.

I'm having this weird delayed reaction to GL's cancellation tonight. F*ck! I miss this show so much. It's my own fault for refusing to grieve when it ended. I'm like a loved one who refuse to go to the funeral and then freak out a few years later. I just can't accept that I'm never going to see these characters again.
