Members vetsoapfan Posted July 29, 2019 Author Members Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) My pleasure. Not particularly good, to be honest. He had had a long career writing for Broadway and primetime TV before he got into soaps, so I understand why TPTB gave him a shot at daytime. Perhaps the pace was too fast for him, but his work on both SFT and GH failed to impress me.. Edited July 29, 2019 by vetsoapfan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted August 3, 2019 Members Share Posted August 3, 2019 Did Viki really always have a romantic attraction for Larry? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted August 3, 2019 Author Members Share Posted August 3, 2019 They were always very close and Viki adored him, but it was Larry who really carried a torch for Viki for many years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted August 4, 2019 Members Share Posted August 4, 2019 Those articles are a hoot. Wasn't Richard Guthrie in the closet along with Wesley Eure ? I remember seeing a clip of Susan Hayes accidentally outing Richard on a live 1977 broadcast at an awards show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted August 5, 2019 Members Share Posted August 5, 2019 Thank you @vetsoapfan for sharing all of this with us. I am seriously enjoying the articles giving backstory on many of the characters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted August 5, 2019 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2019 Many actors were in the closet way back when...and still are today. There were always rumors about Guthrie's orientation, and Seaforth Hayes did joke about it at that awards show (which I found offensive; outing gay actors without their prior knowledge and consent can play havoc with their personal lives and careers and should never be done), but I suppose the truth died with RG. He never publicly acknowledged anything. I live to serve my fellow SONers! Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted August 5, 2019 Members Share Posted August 5, 2019 I always wondered why Guthrie never did another long soap gig ? i know he died in the 90's and people rumored about what was the cause of death. SSF should have been more discreet.That would have been around the time of Anita Bryant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EONGLOLTL Posted August 6, 2019 Members Share Posted August 6, 2019 Funny but I didn't think that Richard Guthrie was gay. I had hoped but when I saw the picture of the ballerina in his article I thought my gaydar was off. It's such a shame that back then and even now somewhat, that gay actors need to be concerned about coming out. I'm sure rereading these old articles (Thanks again!) we can read between the lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
