I think i'll pass on this one. Even though i like Gina. Plus i don't like Alan or the fake bargain basement Mallet. Or the bland and basic chick who played  Marina. After Aubrey Dollar left.  I wish Alan had the balls for a reunion with Rob and Beth🤣 An aging Beth raging at Rob . Would be soapy fun to watch. I don't want to know what fancy expensive college their kids go to. I never cared for Cryus. But i'm glad Murray has had a good career after GL died.

Did Beth & Rob date? I know that he dated Mandy as GL was ending

Rob is the reason Beth went off the rails, honey. 
 

She left her husband and he said he’d leave his wife. He didn’t. 
 

But then he did for Mandy. 

 

Sign me up for the Beth/Rob reunion, also featuring Vincent and Kimberly.

I remember all that. What a mess it was back then.

What @antmunoz said. The bitter break up with Rob. And Rob dumping her for Fake Marina. Was the cause for Beth's becoming emaciated. With a permanently resting bitch face.

I actually preferred Robert Bogue to Mark Derwin (who was garbage for his last 2 years in the role and helped ruin the show for me), but the backstage stuff is so toxic it's hard to get past. I just wish he'd stuck with Dinah as he had a lot of chemistry with her, no matter how much he wanted to play-act with that bad acting Marina recast. At least they got together in the end, I guess. 

 

Here's a short Nancy Malone (the Robin after the one we saw in the January 1961 episode) interview. She doesn't say much about her time at GL though.

Loved loved loved Robert Bogue. It was weird when he began showing up in major video games, including doing the physical model work in addition to his voice. (Both he and OLTL's Doris Belack were in the last two Grand Theft Autos!)

Wow! I had no idea all this was going on behind the scenes. Was there a gap between being with Beth and then being with Mandy? Was it known that they were seeing each other?

I like Bogue too..but I would kick him out of bed in a minute for still sexy bald Derwin!

 

Too bad the behind the scenes stuff was more sordid and interesting then the show. Hot married Douche(rumored by a gay gossip site to have a uh, physical reason the women go mad over him) screws married woman, (Ehlers was married right?) Woman expects Hot Douche to leave wife, he plans to then changes his mind.  Newly bitter middle ages woman tries to get Hot Douche fired..all kinds of drama happens in the on the edge of collapse company headed by a neurotic, hyper emotional person in over her head.  Hot Douche meets a firmer, younger, most likely dumber and much blander girl and then DOES leave his wife. Raging bitter middle aged woman goes NUTS and off the rails..Annie Dutton style without violence.

 

Good stuff!

She was married.

 

This was also around the time of the Stephanie Gatschet/Tom Pelphrey/Gina Tognoni alleged love dramas. 

 

There were so many crazy rumors and stories it was hard sometimes to keep up. I remember someone back then claiming that Ehlers had also tried to make a pass at Bartlett, who was, needless to say, not interested.
