Yes, Mike Bauer was an attorney. He appeared, via several actors, on Guiding Light from 1952–1965, 1968–1984 and 1997. From 1966 to 1966, he crossed over to Another World, portrayed by Gary Pilar.

Oh, thanks! Great. Elsewhere someone has said that Papa Bauer always called him Michael.

Yes, both Papa and Bert referred to Mike as "Michael".

Once upon a time, the P & G soaps loosely crossed over to one another. As you mentioned, Dru Mitchell was in Oakdale at one point, and Mike Bauer took Hope to Bay City from Springfield (or maybe TGL was still Selby Flats versus Springfield...?), shortly after Hope's mother, Julie Conrad, killed herself in a mental institution early in 1966.

I have a memory of some young fella. standing, straddling a motorcycle, at a crossroads & the sign points this way to Bay City & that way to Oakdale, etc. and so forth. What is unusual about it is that AW was NBC & ATWT &  GL were CBS! Of course now Wally Kurth is working for both DOOL & GH.

DOOL not ATWT

Wanna bet they are over the legal limit for capacity of a gazebo?!

 

Today a poster elsewhere said that a 2007 or 2008 Digest article indicated that only one soap was making money & that soap was GL. If so, that might mean that the draconian cost-cutting measures were yielding fruit.

Happy Birthday to Fiona Hutchinson, born May 17, 1960 in Miami. Just happened to see this, wonder why, oh I know, she's on FB.  May she find out the details of a project are coming through today. I wonder what Jenna would want.

 

Hi 😃

Does anyone know the correct link to the new GL vault? 

Thanks a lot

Remember the Time Travel s/l where Reva stepped through this life-size oil painting into ... the past?! Yes, I knew you would. That was another stinker but also where I appreciated the Costumes of Shawn Reeves.

Olivia "time travelled", too! (Crystal Chappell)

Lee Lawson (Bea Reardon) has died. (Sorry for repeating, I hadn't seen the dedicated post in the Discuss The Soaps topic.)

@DRW50It's nice to see those two episodes back. With one featuring the recently departed Lee Lawson. GL was all over the place during this time. Still i enjoyed the episodes.

September 1981

4 'Light' actors fired NEW YORK - The soap opera youth mania has delivered a crushing blow to "Guiding Light." Several performers with long-running records have been given their walking papers. They include Barbara Berjer and Robert Mill! (Barbara and Adam Thorpe), Stefan Schnabel (Steve Jackson), and Mart Hulswit (Ed Bauer). Hulswit, a 12-year veteran of the serial, was not particularly dismayed or surprised by his out-of-work notice. "I've seen changes brewing for at least the past year," says Hulswit. "I was told that there is going to be a change in the show's format and focus for what the producers believe to be a better, more competitive product, one that's more successful in attracting a new, younger audience. To that end, the show is phasing down or moving out characters or actors most associated with the 'old show.' It's a bold move that will result in an entirely different 'Guiding Light' within the next year. "I don't feel negative. In 1969, after doing stage productions for Joe Papp's New York Shakespeare Festival, dozens of nighttime guest-starring roles, and several films, I chose to work in soaps in order to give my family financial security. During my years on the show, however, the work became a satisfying creative endeavor. Recently, I became aware that I was only remaining on the show for the money, because my character had become a mere figurehead. And that is not compatible with being an artist.
