OT: I can’t with how extra both Tony Geary and Robin Strasser were when they won.

 

And Judith Light as Robin makes her speech. 😆

 

This is the year that Chaka SuLu allegedly pounded the table when she didn't win.

Geary wanted that Emmy! lol Great to see that Emmy Show again. Lisa Brown was beyond overjoyed. I still remember it. 

There is SO much video sitting out there. I’ve got stuff in my basement from the 70’s. Covid-19 might make me get down there and share some of it. 

Wow I'd never seen Dorothy Lyman's win before. Too bad the following year's ceremony wasn't televised.

 

Thank you for linking to that.

I posted this in the Emmy forum, but the 1994 Emmy telecast is also up. That was a big year for GL and OLTL - those two shows split the acting categories evenly, and GL won for Directing and OLTL won for Writing. The big surprise? AMC winning Best Show despite not winning any other main award - OLTL wasn't even nominated in that category, and GL lost out again.

 

This was also the year Michael Zaslow FINALLY won.

 

The legendary Bruce S. Barry accepted for Directing, it's presented 56:55 in:

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.

Mulcahey was also part of Curlee's winning team. For some reason, I can't even spot him in that 1993 clip (maybe he didn't attend?). Curlee, Reilly, and Lorraine Broderick are very noticeable though.

Boy, Doug Marland deliberately didn't call out thanks to Potter and the camera caught Michael Tylo's eyes popping out because of the omission.  I tend to think Marland probably had good reasons to think poorly of Potter. Probably more than just firing Jane Elliot.  Patrick Mulcahey was cute!

Regarding Tony, the glimpses I've seen of him in Marland's run aren't all that likeable to me - he seems brutish and cold and excessively judgmental, similar to Holden, a character Marland created and wrote heavily for but who always alienated me. The Reardons in general aren't all that likeable to me for much of that period. I remember @saynotoursoap used to say, years ago, that it was Pam Long who made them feel more likeable and like a family.

If you are talking about the radio version, that cast differed greatly until 1948, when the Bauers were introduced. The original central characters/family in the first 10 years of the show were the Ruthledges and the Holdens.

 

 

There was never really a "Holden family". Ned was a Holden but he was a part of the Ruthledge family. The show was mainly about the Ruthledges and the Kranskys in the first ten years.

Mike Bauer wasn't a "good guy" initially, either. He married Robin Lang while still a teenager (it was later annulled), which inadvertently led to the death of Karl Jannings. When he was in his early 20's, Mike  pressured Julie Conrad into having sex before marriage (which she waiting for). He got Julie pregnant with Hope, but wanted Julie to give the baby up for adoption as he didn't want anything interfering in the pursuit of his law degree. Basically, Mike wasn't very noble with his attitude towards women at this point in his life.

 

Of course, later on Mike had the infamous affair with Leslie Bauer while Leslie was still married to Ed. He had a rather chauvinistic attitude when Leslie wanted to return to college. He had another affair with Elizabeth Spaulding Marler while she was married to Justin.

 

In my mind, both Mike and Ed Bauer both had their own issues. I just think Mike was probably the more stable of the two brothers.

 

The other thing I thought of after watching some shows from 1979 last night - I wonder why they never tried pairing Mike Bauer and Sara McIntyre at all?

 

 

Don't forget fooling around with his crippled friend's wife over in Bay City. 

I went from 1977 yesterday to watching an episode from 1983 today. Amazing how I went from only recognizing one actor in 1977 to recognizing several cast members and characters in the 1983 episode that were still on when I was watching in the 2000s. 

 

The episode was from December 19, 1983. Beth (played by Judi Evans at the time) runs off with Phillip after her abusive stepfather and mother show up at school with a police officer to take her to court. Seems like her stepdad got a job in Canada and intends to bring her with them. Phillip and/or Rick smash a window in the classroom and Phillip and Beth run off. We learned a bit about the abusive father situation through a flashback. Wow, Grant Aleksandr was cute...didn't realize that until now (imo of course). Reva is attempting to get money from Billy and Josh walks in at one point. Billy leaves after Josh tells him about his upset daughter who went to talk to Alan about what just happened at school - seems like she isn't feeling Beth much because she likes Phillip also. Pretty funny moment when Billy is consoling and scolding his daughter at the country club for talking to Alan, some woman (I wish I knew the character but I didn't catch a name) wants to intervene because Mindy is making a scene at the country club when an older man tells her not to that Billy should control his own daughter to which she replies something like I don't think Billy can control any of his women.

 

I tried to look for the next episode hoping it would be available but the closest was the December 23rd episode and Beth and Phillip have arrived in NYC. The recording was in bad condition so I didn't bother.

 

Does anyone know details about how this storyline is resolved? 

 

Also, when did Billy and Reva characters drop those heavy accents? I was taken aback for a little bit when I heard Reva open her mouth because I don't recall her having that accent in the 2000s episodes.

This morning I saw that the 1982 Daytime Emmy Awards were on YT.

That year Guiding Light won Outstanding Daytime Drama Series and for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series Writing.

 

By the way I had no idea that Tony and Katie had chemistry nor were in a romance until I watched that clip near the end for Best Show. 

 

 

I flagged this video to Patrick Mulcahey since the 1982 Emmys were a topic of discussion on the GL reunion the previous day. He was so gracious about it!

@MulcaheyPatrick·7h

OMG. I can't thank you enough for finding this and sending it my way. I never thought to look for it myself because I never figured it could crossed the techno-border to the internet. A beautiful gesture. Grateful for your kindness.

 

All the credit goes to you @Forever8 for sharing the video and the person who uploaded on YT!

Hey everone,

i began to upload classic Guiding Light Episodes , starting with June 1982 episodes.
I have the following years of nearly complete consecutive episodes until 1992.

The only thing is, that those episodes are in German. But maybe its interesting for one of you. Im planning to upload everything i have until 1989.

 Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoRPyxHABjpeVfO1c9vlJP9BRQ_IAmE7h

It will take time, so have fun with episodes around Nola, Quinton, Jackie, Ross and so on....

It also includes Jackie Marlers death.

 

The episodes are unlisted in my channel....but i will do open playlists for the german numbers.

Have fun guys!

Hi! Thank you!! And welcome. You know what, I've been wanting to pick up German for the longest time. And voice-actors tend to enunciate very well, obviously. Maybe this is the right time

Could the "hungry associate producer" be Leslie Kwartin?

I wonder if that producer might have been Leslie Kwartin, and perhaps Potter backed Kwartin over Marland/the writers thus creating the rift between HW and EP. Makes one wonder
