this reunion between Kim and Erica was a long wait it had been over 30 years at this time since Kim portrayed Echo and I'm Happy OLTL had her come back
I started watching OLTL a little bit just because Zimmer is on there (I LOVED Reva on GL). Zimmer brings this infectious energy to anything she does, and big or small, I think she is fantastic. She is a daytime powerhouse.
I grew up watching AMC, but got bored with it. So I started watching OLTL. I found that OLTL was by far a better written show, and the characters and actors/actresses were top notch. I miss this show.
@uamusme77 - I'm right there with you, Uamusme77. I started watching JUST for Kim Zimmer. And today's episode (11.05.10) was greatness regarding Rex's paternity. And One Life has at least four ex-Guiding Light actors on it. That's nice too:)
Now, OLTL has 6 ex-Guiding Light actors. I can't help but see Kim, Gina, and Jerry as Reva, Dinah, and Ross. Also the actress that played Natalia on GL is still Natalia to me, in a sense. I miss GL.
@DoubleEntendreSongs I do get what you're saying to a point. This has been my complaint about Tyler Perry's house of pain. Television is about escapism. We want to see people that don't look ordinary. However, Kim Zimmer is not that big. Sally Spectra was big on the bold and beuatiful. Kim is just a little heavy but she is one hell of an actress. I wish Guiding Light was still on so that she could be back with the fans that appreciate what she brings to the table. Erica slezak is not too small.
@DoubleEntendreSongs I am reading your comments and I really feel bad for you! Beauty comes in all shapes and ages. And I bet the farm that you'd never say that shit to Kim's face- Cuz she'd slap the taste out of your mouth!
@DoubleEntendreSongs This is going to contradict my earlier comment, but I do agree that Guiding Light's biggest problem in the end was that it didn't have enough young and attractive actors. You look at the other soaps and they are full of eye candy. I guess Lizzie and Bill were eye candy but they needed more. They kept showcasing Reva like she was still hot like back in the day. So I do get your argument. I got mad earlier because I miss GL and fellt the need to defend Kim.

Erika Slezak and Kim Zimmer on the same show.... awesome!! I hadn't been watching OLTL for months so what a surprise..
love the flashback. I remember watching the show back then and I loved Kim Zimmer as Echo. I was crushed when she left
Ron Carlivati did some amazing job reuniting and closing up all the storylines that we loved. Two Divas reminscing about their beginnings.
Thanks for posting! Love the flashbacks complete with 80s hair, too!

These flashbacks are awesome.
“Any reason why I should?” Viki channeled Jean Randolph with that line.

Damn people are just cold blooded! She adds a zest to the show and she has a big chest that is all. The show is about multi generations.
She’s our REVA

They can try all they want but she's always Reva.
Viki REVA what are you doing in LLANVIEW Reva On vacation
Reva vs Victoria Lord
I dearly loved Guiding Light and Kim Zimmmer but Slezak played everything over the top with these actors.
I always thought Erika played scenes Over the top
I'm very glad that when she stayed in Llanview this time around, she lost the silly 'accent' she has here.
That Echo is EVIL!
Echo she was a fox in the 1980s but 2010s not so much
I think she looks fabulous here.
