What a true blessing to see this amazing episode with so many of the beloved characters from this era of GL-truly the best era of all time! And to have this outstanding video quality is more than I could ever wish for. I want to say a most genuine and heartfelt “THANK YOU” for making this available to GL fans. BLESS YOU. If you have other episodes, we would love to see them as well.
I soooooooo agree. I call these episodes "Classic 1979'." Like "The Honeymooners Classic 39" episodes.
This was the most beautiful music of all the Soaps!! I wish I had a CD of it to relax by!
Just a great era and storyline. I love watching these thank you so much.
GL 1979-1985 = best soap of all-time
Tommy
I will tell Floyd you said that !! 😂😂
I will tell Floyd you said that !! 😂😂
This episode aired on my 16th birthday. About one year later I started watching GL and I watched it until the end in 2009.
This was best era of The Guiding Light 1977 to 1983 until Gail Kobe and Pam Long Hammer ruined this show
I totally agree 👍
Yes the beginning score is very haunting like most scores on soaps were back in the day they need to come back
The music in the opening was gorgeous. It's music to just listen to while looking through your window on a crisp Autumn day with a cup of soothing tea with a cinnamon stick and some honey. Beautiful.
Millette Alexander was such a great Actress! She could easily carry a scene even if she was the only Actor in it - and make it interesting. Millette Alexander looked strikingly beautiful in this very short haircut - it looks perfect with her features and flawless profile. "Dr. Sara McIntyre" was my favorite character on GUIDING LIGHT and Millette Alexander will always be my favorite Actress of all time from Daytime TV. I loved her work on THE EDGE OF NIGHT as well as GUIDING LIGHT. Springfield was never the same after "Sara", "Tim" & "Adam" moved away. I always hoped that they would return. I was happy to see "Adam" return in 1989 but very disappointed that he came back without "Sara". I wish that Millette Alexander & Kevin Bacon would have been featured at the end of GUIDING LIGHT even if just in Flashback scenes.
I agree with you. She is fantastic. A real pro. Her acting is so natural. As if she was actually having a dialogue with the other character instead of reading from a script.
Every time I hear "Ritournelle", I imagine myself walking in the cool, beautiful Summer rain. The music used to creep me out when I was younger. But now, I think it's so beautiful. But I still love "My Guiding Light ", the theme from 1983. Greatest soap of all time.
Can you imagine how surreal it was for Don Stewart to come back in 1997 for it's 60th Anniversary and work with Ron Raines (Alan #3). Also I wished that Mike could have said "Hope is doing great, working hard going to AA Meetings, having a Sponsor, being a Sponsor and realizing that she didn't fail as a Woman, Wife and she and Alan Michael made peace, also say Sid Dickerson is doing very well in Washington, DC., he's become quite the Power Broker in The Black Caucus."
Just to think, Charita Bauer had been with GL for close to 30 years at this point.
A true soap veteran. She should have been titled. She would've been "Miss Charita Bauer. "
I love the score at the beginning of Holly and Barbara's scene. If anyone remember's the World of Soap Themes...they were kind enough to entreat with the late 70's soundtrack from both "Guiding Light" and "As the World Turns". I wish I could find some of these pieces again.
I agree. I listen to these classic soaps with earbuds, and the score, or incidental music is great. The opening theme through headphones is kinda creepy though, especially with the separation.
That music at the beginning with Holly and Barbara is lovely. That flautist is giving me life. Beautiful.
GL & ATWT I miss them so much
The too-cute Apple Green china hutch in Sara's living room is from the vintage Guiding Light from the 1950s. Bert had it in her kitchen. It was probably brown wood back then.
Thanks for the upload !! XD
Did you ever notice how sometimes in the opening of GL, the leaves takes on a different color?. Sometimes the leaves are green and gold, and sometimes they are brown, red and gold. It could just be due to the age of the tapes.
One noteworthy error that anyone who has worked in healthcare would pick up on: Rita's shoes. At 38:40, they look like some kind of platform heel, and you can hear the sound of the heels clicking as she walks across the floor. No way would a nurse wear shoes like that while she's on-duty. Generally, it would be rubber soled, non-skid shoes, both for safety and practicality.reasons.
I made mention of that myself. Those Nurse's shoes sound like Red Bottoms on the sidewalk. No patients would get any rest hearing that clip-clop outside their rooms.
I'm so glad you're back! I've been meaning to email, but just haven't had a chance yet!
Hi Katie! Nice to hear from you.
Ken did tell me he passed along my e-mail address to you, but don't worry. Write when you have the time. No hurries. Life can definitely get in the way sometimes.
Michael Zaslow and Lenore Kasdorf are fantastic here in their scene together. Roger and Rita hated each other by this time, and the two of them do an amazing job at communicating that (beyond just the actual words in the script), with Kasdorf spitting out her lines with utter contempt, and Zaslow sitting there, silently seething as Rita is speaking. A very compelling scene, but at the same time, totally realistic and believable.
Mar Thivierge Yes, I concur. I've always said that GUIDING LIGHT has the best dialogue exchanges of any soap. The characters interact with such a realness. That's the test of great actors and actresses, making not look like acting. They might flub a line or two, but this is how people really hold conversations.
Isn't it amazing to know that on it's Sister Show Another World, she played Lenore Curtin and at her Wedding Reception Steve Frame played by George Reinholt would go on to be Daytime's First Superstar. Also as you know Michael Zaslow wrote for Another World while Barbara Berjer played Bridget. I really hated her character's guts. She was always interfering acting like Vicky got Robbed of living in The Love Mansion.
I remember watching a Barnaby Jones episode about a Glam Rock Star who didn't write his own songs. The songwriter was played by a very young Michael Zaslow, who the rock star murdered because he threatened to tell his secret. The dead songwriter's Fiancee was played by a very young Lenore Kasdorf. Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? Lol
It’s Season 2, Episode 18, “A Gold Record for Murder”(available on YT)! 😊
@@shayhay2411Yep! That's it! Margot Gortner played the murderer.
Does anyone Miss using Typewriters like me?
laminage. Yes
Thanks. It's hard to believe that in This Cyberworld of ours, alot of fantastic Novels were Typed on Typewriters. Back in the day Chick Lit Writers would use three things, A Typewriter, Desk and an Ashtray for Cigarettes.
@@Leesaloves I remember watching a DVD Section of Mad Men Season 2 and they talked about the impact that cigarettes had and how Women Smoked it so naturally. Looking back I think it was a form of "Independence". Remember in Grease The Pink Ladies Smoked, then in The Bathroom at The Drive In there were Four Young Ladies Smoking, in Peyton Place Constance McKenzie, her Husband Mike Rossi/Tom Makris or even Constance's Daughter Allison also Smoked.
@@laminage That makes total sense. It does creep me out, watching them unknowingly poisoning themselves.
Yep. That's how I learned to type. As alot of us did. I learned to type on the Smith Corona Electric, with the ball that moved when you struck a key. That brown one which weighed a ton. Lol
I remember working in one of the high-end department stores here in NY, as a Cashier, and Lezlie Dalton/Elizabeth, was one of my customers. And you know what? she really speaks that way, lol. But she was really very sweet and friendly.
And she's beautiful too.
Wow that's cool. I actually always suspected that was her true voice breathlessness and all lol. I guess I was right. What did she buy?
@@dg-sl5jb It was very nice clothing. As you know she always dressed really nice on GL. It was so long ago. I must say that I was really shocked. I didn't act like a gushy fan. After all, celebrities are average people when the camera is off, you let them have their space.
Good to know. I always wished someone would administer oxygen to the poor woman. lol
I loved "Dr. Sara McIntyre" on GUIDING LIGHT, and beautiful Millette Alexander was my favorite Actress of all time. I loved her on THE EDGE OF NIGHT in a Dual Role of long-lost Twin Sisters "Laura Hillyer" and "Julie Jamison" previous to GUIDING LIGHT.
She appeared in the GL spoof, "Guiding Plight." Her comedic timing in that hospital skit was laser perfect. A very multifaceted talent. Musician, Actress and Comedienne.
Millette played a third character on EDGE OF NIGHT named Gail in the late 1950s.
Barbara is the red "Angry Bird." She even looks like it.
Thanks. I'd never seen the Adam/Sara material in this (or forgot it). Great scenes. So emotional. Robert Milli deserved an Emmy.
I love that hospital lounge set. I wonder why they got rid of it. The show in general looks much less cheap here (this and the Spaulding sets) than the Potter/Marland era.
I love how Bert just blows right through Roger. Today of course she would be called a "hypocrite," and Roger would be written as the victim.
Alan was vile at this point.
Surprised to see Diane as so weepy.
Millette Alexander ("Sara") & Robert Milli ("Adam") were both top-notch, experienced, very capable, very talented, beloved Actors and had appeared on numerous Shows throughout their careers. They had Acting skills to spare. I was happy when "Sara" & "Adam" found love with each other and married. They were a good match - but, unfortunately they got shoved to the Back Burner which was a crime. Never should have happened.
Millette Alexander deserved an Emmy - long overdue. She should have been recognized for her great work on THE EDGE OF NIGHT as well.
That was some great acting by Sofia Landon (Diane) in the scene with Mike's Secretary, Ann Jeffers. The emotions were so there.
They should make a Guiding Light movie released by Paramount. It will set in 1976 Springfield. In the opening credits, Ron Raines (90s & 2000s Alan Spaulding) is in the voiceover reading a poem "There is a Destiny" playing the 1970-75 theme. For Josh & Reva, I elected Ashton Kutcher & Gwenyth Paltrow to play Springfield's most memorable couple. The closing takes place at the Lighthouse (their trademark) playing the 1975-81 theme. But who should play Alan Spaulding in the movie?
Looking for episodes with Rita Georgine and eve
Oh my Goodness Gracious! That would make my life!🤗🤗🤗
That dent that the Garage Attendant pointed out on Dean's car to Sara was Roger's. Dean was trying to kill him with that car. Jacked Roger up pretty badly.
And Sofia Landon Greer would temporary play Donna Hudson on Another world in 1991 In Anna Stuarts Absence. !!
Is it me folks or would you say that Robert Milli (Ex-Adam Thorpe, Ex-Wayne Addison Another World) looks alot like Dennis Parlato (Substitute Roger #2). Adam feels so guilty for not being a proper Father to Roger that he tries to make up for it now. Alan had that same complicated Relationship with his own Father Brandon and bought alot of his issues with his own Sons.
Nice to see Barbara Berjer go from GL in the 70's. To Brigette on Another World in the 1980's..
Barbara Norris Thorpe was a sensible woman who believed in doing the right thing
Oh how I love me some closing credits!
I agree. I like when they cue up and run the credits from cast to crew. When the title is centered, you know that the closing credits are about to roll. Love this story. Lol
By the way, check out the closing credits when GL won the Daytime Emmy award for best daytime drama. It's stunning.
Also I had a thought, Barbara worked as a Cookbook Author, Holly became a Journalist who also Co-Owned WSPR for a hot minute with Roger Thorpe, and Blake became a Author as Darleena Cross. Three Generations of "Writers".
I wasn’t watching yet at this point but man Diane and Holly almost looked like sisters here. By the time I started watching, Holly and Roger were gone
Oh, Mylanta! The look on Alan's face after talking with Philip was kinda creepy. That archaic smirk.
Roger? Don't tangle with Bert. We all know from the vintage Guiding Light how she can get down. You don't want none of that. Lol
Roger can handle Bert
I was 6 when my mom started watching GL which was 1979. It’s been fun catching up and getting some back story as when Roger and Holly came back to GL I didn’t quite understand all the hoopla ... I agree the writing and acting is so much netter than the late 80’s (when I watched in mid school and HS) ... I am really enjoying these old episodes. GL was my childhood lol 😂 there was no kid programming back then really.
Same exact experience :-) same age
RIP Robert Milli! ( Adam Thorpe)
Daaaaamnnnn! Adam is getting it from all sides. First, Sara McIntyre bombs on him, Now his ex-wife Barbara. No wonder the poor man is drowning his sorrows with booze. He's having a rough day after reluctantly defending his son.
Lezlie Dalton looks like she could be Belinda Carlisle's sister.
I remember when Ron Raines started playing Alan #3 he admitted to Alan-Michael (then played by Rick Hearst) that when he can't have something or someone 100%, he rejects them. Since Alan Michael grew up with his Mother Hope who is a Bauer, Alan had a lot of anger especially with Phillip's Custody hearing back in the day and that Mike was part of it. Sadly enough a lot of folks are like that.
Doesn't Maureen Garrett look a lot like actress Talia Balsam? She was also acting around this time. Talia is Martin Balsam's daughter.
Talia Balsam was once married to George Clooney.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc She sure was!!!!👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Yikes! Alan Spaulding needs a haircut in these episodes. I think that Caesar haircut that he sports in some episodes suits him best. Very sexy.
I really hope that Adam took a cab to Sara's house. I can't believe he would drive when he is clearly full-tilt drunk like this.
Why is Roger tripping about the two affidavits being stolen? Didn't he say that he made extra copies of them? He should have them in various places. Why is he pulling his hair out over the ones that Diane stole? Lol
Why are those white nurses shoes making so much noise? That has to be a sound effect. They sound like high-heels. White nurse's shoes have soft marshmallow, or sponge soles. They made no noise when you walked. Imagine being a patient and hearing that clacking all night outside your room.
The Garage Attendant shows Sara the dent in front of the car, that car was used in a crime. That could be Roger's dent or
de Vilar 's dent. Hmmmm!
The Soul Brother would have been perfect on a UK Soap Opera like Coronation Street or EastEnders where they have Mechanics. He also looks like he could have been in a R & B Group as a Yung Man who didn't make it or even a "Tribute" Group.
Am i the only who think stephen Yates and Robert Newman are twins?
No. They do look a bit alike.
Isn't Robert Newman on Y & R now? I think he is now playing the role of Victoria's husband, Billionaire Ashland Locke.
@@mariellclement8092He was killed off Y&R last year.
I loved roger and holly as a couple
Huh
Adam Thorpe CBS/Lars Bogarde/ABC.
Wayne Addison/NBC.
Rita Holly
OMG!, Barbara is raking poor Adam over the coals. Barbara has issues with men. Which is understandable because of what she went through with her first husband, Stanley Norris. He was a notorious skirt-chaser. Her marriage to Roger's father failed as well. Too many migraines .
I never liked Barbara
Bell rings : who is it ?
Outside the door : "Adam"
Dr. McEntire opens door : Oh ! Adam, come in!
Adam: Uh....can I come in? 🙄
I've heard they improvised alot on this show , but come on man.....🤷
That flub worked out seeing that Adam was very drunk in the scene.
