Thank you so much for posting this. I fell in love with Guiding Light because my grandmother always had it on when I got home from school in the 80s-90s and I kept watching myself. She'd talk to me about different actors, and the past decades' memorable plotlines, and imbued watching it with this sense of gravity. Getting to actually see these myself is really very special, it's like continuing a story she started telling me. I love Roger and Holly, this was such a ride! Also, I was pleasantly surprised by an unexpectedly strapping Ed Bauer. I am used to Blake being married to Ross Marler, I gasped out loud when after Roger's fall, the camera landed on the little red haired girl that could only be her. Wow.
born few months later. I was named Christina ( still called Chrissy) cause mom thought the little girl was sweet and cute. Watched till went off the air. I cried.
Robert Milli was wonderful in these scenes. Funny, Christina thought that Adam was her (step)grandfather because he used to be married to Barbara but he is, in fact, her biological grandfather, because her father is really Roger.
So is this the island Alexandra and Fletcher get stranded on, and Alex meets Roger posing as Adam Malkik? And thus Alan steps it up and becomes Springfield's next biggest villian.
Loved Chris as Alan Spaulding. Was never the same after he left.
I still wonder why he left in 1984 and returned 2 years later. Sadly he passed away in 1989.
GL at its very best. Excellent cast, well written and produced. What a show !
The show went downhill in the 80's & 90's imo.
@@alandale2182. 1979-84 was its peak.
It’s striking to me how much of this cast was gone in just a few years.
Wonderful Charita
This Is the best era of GL.
So I hear. I never watched but it looks great here
I wish whole show was available for viewing
This was fantastic
The look on Alan face is priceless
One of the great soap opera scenes of all time. Roger’s “death”
Anyone notice that it aired on April 1. Huge clue!!
Thanks so much for posting! Hopefully you have more to post. The quality is wonderful.

I loved "Dr. Sara McIntyre".
The theme music is comforting. 👍🏽

Wow this beautiful episode is here I happen to catch it by accident wow thanks to who may ever download it
I'd forgotten how INCREDIBLY ADORABLE John Wesley Shipp was/is ! Had a crush on him for YEARS during his time on GL !
Didn’t we all???
I had no idea that this episode aired on 4-1. Kind of brilliant, eh?
Me too
John Wesley shipp would land the role of Flash in thev80s and he was jay Garrick n the,flash,reboot
Roger was rescued by the CIA
I watched GL from 1973 until the last episode. I cried when it ended 😢
I had forgotten how handsome Mike Bauer was.
These little child actors were wonderful and seemed disciplined
Thanks for the upload !! Do you have the cabin fire with Roger and Rita Bower from 1980 ?? How did Roger survive that fall ??
He also played on Dawson Creek.
Kevin just call me footloose Bacon
😃.. Were those ‘Star Wars’ / video game sound effects actually in the show??
So is this the island Alexandra and Fletcher get stranded on, and Alex meets Roger posing as Adam Malkik?
And thus Alan steps it up and becomes Springfield's next biggest villian.
We all know roger didn’t die he came back years later
Barbera Berjerwent on to another world
Michael Zaslow
How are these im such high quality?
I believe this was one on the dvd releases of GL.
Amanda was Alan daughter but years later it turned out brandon was Amanda father
MILLETTE ALEXANDER is BEAUTIFUL.
Here's a H*LL of a good thought... Kevin Bacon and John Wesley Shipp a couple!!! Imagine it!
Christopher Bernau was in the closet
I'm a Holly Norris fan Maureen Garrett is the best as Holly Norris
