Cool, thanks for sharing that.

Is this Scott Hoxby (Cutter) at 2:10?

I think so.

Definitely him.

Definitely - hasn't changed a bit.

I guess this clip demonstrates the very beginnings of writing Alexandra as a more darker character, a move that Beverly wasn't too thrilled with and (eventually) help lead to her leaving the show years later. No way would Lujack-era Alex be a somewhat willing accomplice to Roger's evil mechanisms.

At least Beverlee cared about the integrity of her character, as did the fans. Too bad the writers/producers/P&G/CBS didn't feel the same way.

Wow we lost Guiding Light 5 years ago today

Ah, Alex from the begginging was dark..she just was not one to stoop to Alan and Roger's level. She knew Alan was involved with whatever dumb international group was started the Dreaming Death, but helped him escape, and then held released the vaccine to make Spaulding Pharmacutical a "small," profit. This was still Pam Long material and she wrote Alex best. I think Bev didn't like the fact that JFP wanted to turn Alex into a total witch and that Alex was obsessed with her boring and sanctimonious son. Also, it was begging to look like Alex was bullying Mindy long after the Roger affair.

That clip showed was a horrible actor Jay Hammer was. I know he was living with Long so that is why she kept him but why would anyone else? I woulda had him killed by Brent/Marion (though I woulda killed Buzz that way too.)

Roger and Alex..damn I loved them!

5 years already. Where does the time go?

"I don't see what good it does to hold on to this anger."

"It's fun!"

Beverlee really knew how to play that bitch-with-a-broken-heart role. I just wish they hadn't bogged Alex down with this Nick material.
