There are no words in the English language to convey my gratitude for this! Thank you! I spontaneously burst into tears when the real Billy returned after shooting Roger. JC had some difficulties in the 90s, and I'm so grateful GL have him the chance to shine and bring Emmy gold home. GL REBOOT!
Thank you for putting this together. Billy was my favorite GL character. He was a big teddy bear. However, I wouldn’t have characterized him as “The Recovering Alcoholic”. I would have called him “The Southern Charmer” 😂
Vanessa was so much more interesting with Billy then she ever was with Matt. They played so well together/ Never a dull moment. Vanessa was such a bore with Matt. I loved Billy so much especially in the very beginning. His first scenes with Vanessa at Quint and Nolas wedding were such a hoot
My name is Billy too. He was my favorite character along with Bill. Marah and Shayne, when I first watched Guiding Light, they made me think of us guys (my older brother and sister and me) combined. We would be a handful. I also had an uncle named Billy on my dad's side, who sadly, passed away from cancer a few days before I was born. and Josh made me think of my dad sometimes, he was an up-and-moving dependable kind of guy who was optimistic and always looking out for his family and others. And Josh having his relatives and reva and his relatives and their roots in a state far away from Springfield (Oklahoma) and they were country people; my mom grew up in the country in Lima, Ohio and we have country folks in Ohio and we live down in Georgia where my dad was stationed. You can't knock those Lewis boys down!
Love Jordan Clark as Billy Lewis...Last I heard is that he had a stroke...Hope he's doing better...I remember him being on an episode of Three's Company.
Thanks so much for this! Big fan of Billy! I was wondering, do you have a profiler video for Vanessa? Honestly she is my favorite character, and I love her and Matt (but she and Billy are great too). I was wondering because in the begining footage it looks like she has her own video, but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!
There is not one out for Vanessa yet. I really want to do one on her soon. I've been dragging my feet because I know hers will take a very long time. She is also one of my favorites. I love her transformation from the 80's to 90's.
Spauldingfield, thank you for all the great videos. This is a weird request, but do you have any footage of Tony Reardon working in his office at Wired For Sound? (early to Mid ‘82 would be timeline I think) Thanks!!
Hi Stephen, Sadly I do not have any footage of him at Wired For Sound. I don't have much before 84. I have a few episodes here and there but nothing consistent. If you find anyone who does please send me their way. Also, thank you for the compliment! I love helping fans feel connected to the show still.
Exactly! Also Larry Gates (RIP) originally played a Man named Ira Newton. Bethany Joie Lenz played Teen Reva Clone before Playing overall Michelle Bauer # 3. In the UK they also "Recycle" Actors. Malcolm Hebden played Norris Cole on Coronation Street for almost 20 Years but in the 1970's he played a Fellow named Carlos from Spain who wanted to be part of a sham marriage to stay in England. Also, When Bethany Joie Lenz played The Teen Reva Clone, she talked about how she hated her Clothes calling herself "Dorky Spice" and Melanie Brown was on Coronation Street before she became a Spice Girl. A lot former Boy Band Girl Group Icons Reinvent themselves on Soaps in The UK and do very well. What I hated about Billy is how he never wanted Vanessa to be with anyone other than him.
His Emmy win was one of my favorites; so joyful and well-deserved after all those years!

That is a better title. I need to come to you when I'm having trouble finding titles. Sometimes that's the hardest thing for me.
@@Spauldingfield is Reva going to be your big final? That should take like 2 videos
I loved Billy and Vanessa. And this is perfect for June, since Father's Day is this month.
Vanessa was so much more interesting with Billy then she ever was with Matt. They played so well together/ Never a dull moment. Vanessa was such a bore with Matt. I loved Billy so much especially in the very beginning. His first scenes with Vanessa at Quint and Nolas wedding were such a hoot
Truly enjoyed watching this tribute luv Billy and Vanessa.

Great Character that Billy Lewis
Billy and Vanessa were my favorites!! Really enjoyed this thank you!!
If you are a Billy and Vanessa fan I think you will be super happy with an extra video I will be showing on June 15!
Do you have any of Billy and Vanessa courtship?
HB Lewis was a grand gentleman! Billy & Josh Lewis were great! Reba was my sweet lady!
The best billy montage would be with the Billy Sean song I can help
I always loved Billy and Mindy and Billy. They had a great relationship.
I loved how the Shayne Family & the Lewis Family always wanted Reva & Josh to be together.
Do you think John Goodman would play Billy Lewis as if Guiding Light was a movie? They have sturdy and hefty builds
Fantastic! THANK YOU so much. Do you by chance have Vanessa and Billy at Cross Creek after his firing from Lewis Oil?
I was soooooo in love with Bridget (Melissa Hayden)....still have her postcard on my wall from 30 years ago. lol

@@Spauldingfield thanks for your answer! I'll be looking forward to it, whenever you get the chance to make it. Thanks for all you do!
Please, please, please! Spauldingfield, your videos are great, Vanessa Chamberlain Lewis Reardon Lewis needs a great video montage, yes, yes, yes!

Spauldingfield Thanks for the reply. Yes it seems like ‘82 footage is a little
tough to come by! THANKS AGAIN!
Jordan Clark was the definitive Billy Lewis for me.
Damn Billy was real bad ass back in the day.
I adore Jordan
Before Billy Lewis, Jordan Clarke played a doctor on the show, you can see him in one of your takes in scrubs.
