Looks like the yahoo rec.arts.tv.soaps group is still archived for the most part but it's a bit of a pain to dig through. They do have some recap threads dating back to the early 90s.

Matt Bomer briefly talks about his run on GL after receiving The Hollywood Reporter's Trailblazers Award.

In lighter moments, Bomer reflected on humbling milestones he experienced as an aspiring actor, from his first role as a background artist at age 12 in the 1992 Chuck Norris movie Sidekicks (“If that’s not an origin story, then what is?” he wondered, laughing) to a three-year run as a regular on both All My Children and Guiding Light in New York in the early 2000s.

His appraisal of those gigs was tinged with equal parts appreciation (“It felt like going to grad school”) and unbridled amusement.

“My Guiding Light character was a trust-fund baby who bet his fraternity brothers he’d be the first to deflower the town virgin … then he lost his trust fund and turned to the only life that someone can when they lose their trust fund: sex work. Then he went crazy and killed five people,” Bomer said, laughing along with the crowd inside the newly minted SCADShow theater. “Some days I’d have 30 pages of dialogue, ya’ll!”
