    They haven’t aged a damn day! Beth’s return from the dead story in 1989 (along with Roger Thorpe’s the same year) were two of the best return from the dead stories ever.

    I loved Judi Evans as Beth, but Beth Chaimberlin grew on me. Nobody could be Phillip but Grant Alexander. Just my opinion. They both look so very young. Like time stood still a little bit.😃

      I saw this an hour after it ended. I regret not being able to ask Grant a question. I had heard that he had gone to the producer right after Guiding Light ended and tried to get the show back on the air. Unfortunately the producer passed away before their conversation could get much further.

    Again, thank you Alan for putting these together. Grant is timeless and just always brutally honest about everything. It's quite a trait! And Beth... when you look at her you see a beautiful woman "of 20" and you can't imagine the incredible history of insane things she's played the same character through. Both had amazing runs with and without each other and so great to sit here spending a Saturday afternoon catching up with a flood of memories featuring them both. I miss GL so much these days!

    I remember exactly when Grant and Beth both joined the show. I was a young pre-teen when Grant joined and I was smitten from day one. When Beth joined I was an exchange student in Japan. They didn't get GL there, so my sister would tape them on VHS and send them to me. As soon as I saw her, I just knew she was Beth the character even before they addressed it. I am sorry that I missed the live, but grateful to see the video now. They both had such great chemistry with the people they worked with, which is a testament to their talent. I loved hearing about the great actors that are no longer with us, they had an abundance of talent and we are better for having seen them in their prime.

      I loved the New York storyline with Phillip, Beth, Rick and Mindy too. I was extra special when they introduced "Nick" to the storyline. They should never have taken As The World Turns and Guiding Light off the air. They replaced them with a doctor show and a talk show. There are only so many ailments to discuss and only so many subjects to talk about. Taking the soaps off was a very bad decision.

      @@tomtrout6593 I loved Judi in the role. Beth C fit the older Beth. I’m not sure Judi would have worked if, say, she came back in 1997 when they brought Beth back. Who knows, though. The writing for Beth was atrocious. They wrote for a character named Beth Raines but they didn’t write for the character of Beth Raines. I blame the writing for Beth during Beth C’s second run.

    GL is the longest running drama series in broadcast history. Of all programs, any genre, GL ranks as the fifth longest running series. It may soon drop to sixth as the British radio soap opera The Archers turns 70 this year and may last longer than GL's 72 years.

    Alan, it’s been years since I’ve seen Guiding Light. Now watching again on TH-cam. I was wondering if there was a way to post some of the cast members names, side by side, with their character and real name and so we know who’s being talked about. Maybe at the beginning of the show or the end. Or perhaps some other creative way. Don’t know much about technology so not criticizing by any means, just a suggestion. Appreciate your show.
    For Beth and Grant, I understand your frustration with the shows format but believe me Guiding Light had so much happen in one days show compared to several soaps now that have nothing happened in a week. Thank you guys for doing this interview. Grant has a great point about our society today. He seems very analytical. Good Luck Beth with your business.

    LOVE watching these and am seriously BIGGEST P&B fan ever but WHY IS NO ONE EVER TALKING/ASKING GA and BC ABOUT PAMELA LONGS EMMY WINNING WRITING RELATED TO BETHS SECOND RETURN? The mystery, Phillip in restraints, Blake hiding truth, the phenomenally acted hospital scene where he sees her for first time only to realize she doesn’t remember....WOW WOW... then adorable scenes with GA somersaulting off Alexandras bed he’s so excited talking about Beth FINALLY kissing him... trying to get her memory to return... etc etc. THESE were the best written most romantic simple scenes. Pam did the best at sweetness then extreme raw darkness/rage. Her unparalleled strength writing IMO is emotional RANGE and having touching moments that were not saccharine. Sigh. Long for GA to talk about this era.
