I'm 54 now but remember this like yesterday. Every day I sat glued to the TV just to watch these 4 actors, brings back great memories
We're close in age and like you I was hooked.
I'm 52, watched GL since the late 70's, and remember the 4 Musketeers REALLY well! I always felt Philip and Beth belonged together, even when Beth was with Lujack. Judi and Grant had undeniable chemistry, to me! Anyway, thanks for getting these four back together and going down memory lane, Alan! GREAT interview!
Thank you for watching and for letting me know you enjoyed it.
And Mindy belonged with Rick.
This is when I started watching. I loved the 4 Musketeers! 💕💕
@@musicismagic3001 me too ❤😊
And just like that it's as if 40 years haven't gone by. Thanks for these sweet memories ❤
Well said, Pamela. 🙏
These 4 beautiful actors created magic in 1983 . Love from 🇨🇦
They certainly did! You got that right.
This was my FAVORITE story EVER on Guiding Light. Phillip & Beth was such a great love story. BUT… even greater love story was Rick and Phillip. No matter what those two ALWAYS came back together as Best Friends!!!!!!! I would stay with my grandma every school vacation and we would always watch GL & ATWT everyday.
Thank you for sharing, Mandy! I appreciate it.
Rick and Phillip were a GL supercouple
Rick and Phillip also completed for the same girl.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hcyes I remember that 😊
I saw Krista/Mindy at the mall in Eastern NC years ago when she was signing autographs.
. I loved the Four Musketeers storyline. I remember my mother saying she was cheering for Beth and Philip's escape at work. Soaps were so good then.
I love that story! Thank you so much for sharing.
I also saw her at a mall in Eastern NC back in the day. I wonder if we were at the same mall.
Wow can’t believe it’s been 40 years, this storyline was the best!!!
Right? I hope you enjoyed the look back.
Love this! I just realized Hayden Panitierre played Beth's daughter on Guiding Light, and Tina (then Krista Tesrau)'s daughter on One Life to Live! It might have been reversed actually timewise.
That's right -- small world.
Hayden was a great child actress.
I loved Judi Evans as Beth Raines I really felt a lot of compassion for Beth.
Thank all of you for your fantastic, superb, and touching acting for all the years we watched you. I only wish that all of you received more credit for your work as the soap opera dramas don't get the credit they deserve. You all worked so hard.
😍😍😍
I watched Guiding Light for many years. Thoroughly enjoyed their performances and appreciated this webcast.
Glad to hear it. Thank you for letting me know.
Alan, what an amazing show with these 4! They were my first experience tapping into Guiding Light. Lightning in a bottle casting, acting, writing, producing, directing, etc. This reunion was just so special. The genuine shared affection and memories - wow. Especially loved the stories about their mentors on the show, their appreciation for each other, and their gratitude toward the fans. Class acts - each and every one! As always, you do the best job creating and facilitating these opportunities for the actors and fans, and we so appreciate you and your awesome talent.❤
Much appreciated, Jules. Thank you for the message.
The 4 Musketeers were such a big part of my later teen years, as we all "graduated" the class of 1983! I think the first scenes I saw were Beth's introduction in the hospital with Mindy! Such memories! Thanks again guys!!😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you for watching, Stephen!
Thank you for this.❤These four should have their own show.would love to see grant and Judi work together again
Right? Thank you for watching, Angela.
Move over Friends these four were the original
I rushed home everyday from school so I could watch Guiding Light. I miss it so much❤️❤️❤️
I skipped school a lot during sweeps month.
💛💛
I think a lot of kids did to see this fouresome.
Great show. I had been watching GL since 1978 or so. Carrie Todd split personality, marrying Ross & the murder of Diane Ballard. I’m talking good stuff. The 4 Musketeers were the new generation. I’d love to see you do an interview with Carl Evans, Beth Ehlers & Rick Hearst. They became the next, next generation. Great memories. Keep up the good work.
You bet! I'm s glad you enjoyed it.
Who was Diane?
Diane Ballard (Sofia Landon) worked at Spaulding & was in love with Alan. She was into blackmailing people. Carrie Todd (Jane Elliott) killed her. Great soap stuff.
I started watching guiding light when i was 12 with my mom I'm now almost 80 and I still miss the guiding light! it was 60 years of my life so good to see you!
Awww, I love hearing this, Lena. Thank you for watching.
Thank you all for these childhood memories. I still miss you and The Guiding Light today.
You're very welcome. Glad you enjoy it.
I’m 49 now and I started watching Guiding Light in 1981 when I was only seven years old.
I remember watching the four musketeers as a young mom, while my 13 month old and newborn napped. They are now parents themselves. Many nice memories of escape to Guiding Light. Thank you!
You're so welcome. Love that story.
Really loved seeing you all again! My favorite Soap & my favorite people! My grandma & my Mom watched for years starting when GL was on radio! I'm still upset the show got canceled. As a big fan I don't think we'll ever get over that! Love to you all! You are special & you are missed ❤️
Thank you for watching, Cate. Much appreciated.
That was so great. I miss those days. Thanks to all of you ❤
You bet! Thank you for tuning-in.
I watch this while it played live earlier. Seeing the four of them took me back to my childhood .
At 9 years old and as soon as I would get home from school I would sit down and watch these four .
I was also a Beth and Lujack fan too.
Thank you for this today !♥️
You are very welcome, Lawanda. Thank you for the note.
BACK TO MY 20S FOR ME😍 NOW I'M 60 LOL 😂😉

Love your note, Vicki. Thank you for watching.
I hated when they cancelled Guiding Light. I loved that show and his characters. I wish it was still. They cancelled it way too soon. I read that Grant had tried to get it back on the air right after it was cancelled. It said he discussed it with a producer but the man passed away and that ended the talks. Guiding Light was much better than any soaps still airing. Thank you Alan for having these four on. They are still missed everyday at three o’clock.
You are very welcome, Billie! Thank you for watching.
I miss the 80s Guiding Light and I miss the 4 musketeers. This takes me back to my early teens coming home school to watch this show. What chemistry. I loved the prom episode, Mindys birthday party. Phillip and Beth confessing their love. The whole New York City storyline with all four of them. To Mindy’s pregnancy. The devestation of Phillip and Mindy’s wedding. I can go on and on.
Go on, Amanda! This was one of my favorite as well.
@@TheLocherRoom I never wanted their story to end with the original four actors. Guiding Light was so amazing at that time. They were a big reason for my tuning in?
I love these folks, I loved Guiding Light. My mom started out listening to the story when it was on the radio...and I literally grew up with Guiding Light. The reason I became a serious watcher of Guiding Light was for these four and the fact that they were my age..and no one played Beth like Judi :) I was so melancholy to watch the final episode in 2009. Wishing all of the GL cast throughout the years all the best!
I hear you, Lori. Loved these four and Guiding Light.
man Grant look great
😍
Finally got to sit and catch up with this! Thank you! These four were my high school favs! Love seeing them! The prom and Christmas in NYC with Nick were favorite story lines.
I'm so glad you checked out this interview. I had so much fun with these four.
Miss you guys you were the best my favorite soap
I feel the same, Verna.
I'm 63 , now . I WAS WATCHING CLIPS WITH THESE ACTORS IN Guilding Light 🚦. 😊
thank you for this reunion. I loved these 4 on GL. Loved Phillip and Beth's love story.
You're so welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Just re-watched the prom episode and it had me in my feelings cause I remember watching it in real time as a 16 year old. I remember Truly by Lionel Richie playing and all of the other 80's songs and it took me back to time when it soaps were great
Takes you right back to that time doesn't it? Thank you for sharing, Donna.
Thank You so very much Alan for putting this together! I loved the 4 musketeers and can't believe it has been forty years. I will always remember getting the opportunity to meet Grant at the GL event in 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. I was chosen to come up on stage and do a scene with him which was awesome! I began watching Guiding Light in 1977 and stayed with it till its end in September of 2009. I still miss this show. These memories are simply awesome!
I love this message, Joseph. Thank you for sharing and for tuning-in.
Truly amazing reminiscing with these fine actors. Grew up in eastern North Carolina and was in high school when these characters were introduced and absolutely enjoyed bringing them into my living room everyday. Their characters were growing up as I was growing up and really felt close to them. How amazing that the actors are such wonderfully nice and genuine people. It really does my heart good to see them together and to know the fondness that they have for each other. Alan you did a great thing today and I thank you!❤
Thank you for sharing, Rick! I'm so happy you enjoyed it.
I was eight years old in 1982 when Grant Aleksander joined the cast as Philip Spaulding.
Rex Everhart, who Grant mentions played Santa Claus every year was in the first Friday the 13th with fort Guiding Light star Kevin Bacon and that movie was written by Victor Miller who wrote for Guiding Light in the early 90s and a bunch of other soaps
Love that, Samuel. Thank you for letting me know.
Always a Guiding Light Fan, but these 4 were my favorite story and my favorite characters!
What a story it was!
So wonderful to see the 4 musketeers together again! Takes me back to my teen years, watching their storylines. I miss the old soaps so much.
Right? Thank you for watching.
Thank you for doing this! Brings back so many memories of my teenage years and watching with my late Mother! Loved the four musketeers!!!!!!
Glad to hear it, Tammy. Thank you for the note.
Guiding Light was my favorite soap opera for a long long time until it was canceled in 2009 and went off the air.
That was a great and fun show! It was wonderful seeing the 4 Musketeers again after all these years. I loved hearing all their stories and funny moments. Micheal O'Leary is a riot! 😃
Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Terri!
This made my day 🥰 Thank you Alan and the 4 Musketeers ! You are all so wonderful as always.
I'm so happy you enjoyed the reunions, Diane. Thank you for your note and for watching.
Thanks to all of you❤❤❤❤❤
🩵🩵🩵🩵
A great one! A true genuine classic with these four actors. The very best of vintage GL.
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you for this amazing treat! I grew up watching Guiding Light from age six until my senior year in high school. I used to fake sick from school to watch cliffhanger fridays 😂😂
You're so welcome, Heather. Glad you enjoyed it.
Each one of these characters had a chemistry that was so exciting to watch!! They are the original Friends!!
I love that - the original Friends. Perfect!
Sorry I'm so late, this was so much fun!
1982 was the year I graduated college and I remember these four with much affection.
Thank you!
You bet! Thank you for watching and for letting me know.
Wow! A good blast from the past, my late Mom and I were GL fans, I started watching on and off late 70s and started watching regularly early 80s until the show ended in"09, GL is missed and still fondly remembered, thanks always Alan, it was good to see the 4 of them together, although I got used to Beth Chamberlin I missed Judi Evans when she left, and Kim Simms for me never really replaced Krista..
So happy you enjoyed it, Cathlean. Thank you for watching.
My mom passed away in 2012. She absolutely loved The Guiding Light.
thank you for being able to remeninisce and seeing my favorite actors
You bet, Donna!
Loved this so much.❤Everyone looks wonderful! It was such a gift to see them together again, and to see their genuine affection for one another and for the magical time they shared. You were all so right- there has never been a better story than The Four Musketeers. Thank you so much for doing this!
You bet, Teresa. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I watched this again and loved it so much! Thank you for the stroll down memory lane! I felt like I grew up with the Four Musketeers .
You did! We all did, Lee. Thank you my friend.
My mom was a big Guiding Light fan when I was little.
I would watch the show as I did my homework in front of the TV.
When she stopped watching soap operas, I stayed loyal. I loved Beth and Phillip and rarely missed an episode.
My mother too, Linda. That's how I started my journey with Guiding Light and As the World Turns.
@@TheLocherRoom I was living in New York at the time and wish I had a chance to go by the studio like you did.
We did have one actress from the show that lived in our neighborhood and we would see her at restaurants and the grocery store but she made it clear that she was not wanting any contact so we respected her wishes.
Thank-you Alan ! Beautiful to see them all together again. ❤😊🎉
Glad you enjoyed it, Jeff. Thank you for letting me know.
Sweet
👍
Love
😍
All four still look amazing. And I say that as someone who is about the same age as each. I was a high school senior and then a college freshman during the Four Musketeers story. Where I went to college you would watch your soap with a group each day on the ground floor of your residence hall. It got established early in the school year if your dorm was a GL dorm or a GH dorm.
Thank you for sharing, Joe. I loved this story so much.
You took me back to 10th Grade Today seeing the Four Musketeers.
I love that, Terry. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so so much for this!! Truly (no pun intended - I mean who could forget the prom) this made my day! I cannot believe how long this storyline and cast stuck with me. It was amazing seeing them all together again, it was a special moment in time!
I'm so happy to get your note. Thank you for joining us for the reunion.
This interview was so great. It brought back wonderful memories of GL, even brought a tear or two to my eyes 😢 thank you so much❤
You bet! Thank you for the note and for tuning-in.
You always bring it Alan. Thank you so much for this....and yes you are correct....we got hooked for life because of the 4 Musketeers. Brilliant actors, writers and production values. How I miss those glorious days. When TV was awesome. Love to have you interview Pamela Long....any chance?
Thank you, Joe. I so appreciate you tuning-in. I have tried for Pam. I would still love her.
I use to watch Guilding Light , I was in my early 20's . Loved all 4 of these actors .😊❤
Me too, Kimberly!
Love you “kids.” Always have, always will. ❤
Same here, Mimi. Same here!
Nice to see them 4 again.
😍😍
@@TheLocherRoomLove this. Could you please do one with Mary Kay Adam's (India)
I loved their time on GL. I would rush home from school and the bus stop to watch them. I have started watching the episodes online and love it.
I didn't want this to end! Thank you so much for getting these wonderful actors together! It's so appreciated!🙏🏻❤🎉
You bet, Jeanne. I had just as much fun hosting it.
A great wonderful happy interview. And at least at guiding light these charecters had a happy ending on guiding light.
And also a testement to these actors talents.
As Judi not only was the original Beth and one emmys for Beth but also as Adrienne and Paulina Cory.
And as a recast Paulina really turned around that charecter.
And it is also a testement to Judy's talents that she could have amazing chemistry with grant Alexander.
But also Tom eplin at aw.
And with wally Kurth at days.
And Krista's talents too who also stepped into the role of Tina at oltl.
And did an amazing job stepping into Andrea Evans huge shoes after Karen witter.
And she was the 4th or 5th Tina as I forgot about the 2 Tina's from 1984 to 1985 before Andrea came back.
And Krista had great chemistry with Micheal o leary and john loprieno.
At oltl.
And yes at the time I still missed Andrea at oltl.
But still enjoyed the hell out of Krista. As Tina even if the writing was dumb at times
And as far as guiding light Kim was the one when I first watched.
But God I love Krista's. Mindy too.
And at least she came back.
The same way Andrea came back as tina years later at oltl.
Any way unlike some of the other memories this interview did not leave me wanting to kill a headwriter or ep.
Like the Anna Holbrook one and I loved her as sharlene and David Forsythe as John Hudson. but the stench like other things at another world that happened at aw still gets me so angry.
The same way the Ed Baur Lillian Maureen stench still reaks to this day.
But thank God Judy was not there for that with Tina Lilian or Micheal o leary as rick Ed's son.
But Judy did get a taste of it at aw with the Paulina going from Jake to Joe in a storyline that still wreaks in not making sense and up there with the other 2 I mentioned that all have the same stench and that's not even getting into Sam fowler again.
But anyway this wonderful interview brings happy memories for me without the stupidity soap opera
ep headwriter stench.
That so many seem to have when at least to me it does not seem so complicated.
Thank you for watching and your notes, Gabriel. Have a great weekend.
Loved seeing the 4 Muskateers! I just went back to my 14 yr. old self! Loved seeing their faces and sharing in their memories! They all look wonderful. GL was a great part of my life until the show ended.
Same here.
I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it, Chris. Thank you.
😍
We fans are so loyal to all the soaps! Still are.
Right on, Bruce!
With streaming so popular today I wish they would bring Guiding light back!!!
We all feel the same way, Derek!
Loved Judi Evan’s. Her Beth reminded me of Kirsten Vigard’s Morgan.
Thank you all for the memories. Watching the Four Musketeers was a huge part of my teen years. The characters were going through so much angst at the same time I was.
I'm so happy you enjoyed this.
This is great Alan, thank you! My mom started ATWT on radio, then Channel 13. So I did same til they came off air. But GL was definitely my fav. Grant is still so handsome, love his smile and sense of humor. I don’t think I ever had a favorite because there were so many good actors/actresses
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
The was the best show I have seen in my life! My four best friends from GL !! Thanks love all the Mindys.and Beth's!! Grant and Mikey awesome!!!!
So happy to hear you enjoyed it, Mark!. Thank you for letting me know.
This was really great so many great memories! Thank you Alan for getting the "Four Musketeers" back together again, I always hoped they would do this. Michael, what can say about him 😆. This was just wonderful! The Four Musketeers forever!
YAY! Glad you enjoyed it, Dee. Thank you.
Alan ,WOW !! I watch it now ;) Greets Ollie
😍😍
What a nice walk down memory lane-40 years ago these young actors filled my High School with wonderful entertainment. I lamented the lack of diversity back them but the story was still relatable. How many days did I skip to prep a meal to sit and watch. Lastly, I can relate to Grant
: feeling about Kobe-she and Pam did shoo a lot of important characters off the show in favor of (thankfully) lasting characters. That must have been hard to go through and I’m glad he was honest.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Tim. Thank you so much.
Cool to know the actor who played Bradley was a nice guy. I recall he died a few years ago.
👍
Hi Alan, I noticed my orginal post is gone. Maybe I should not have given so much personal info. Just wanted to say what a great show. Cheers, Kevin :)
I didn't see the original post, Kevin. I'm don't know why it disappeared. Thank you for watching -- I so appreciate it.
My eleven year old self rushing home from school to catch the last ten minutes of a Friday episode.......the thrill of the cliffhanger ending scene followed by the devastation of knowing I'd NEVER, EVER get to see the culminating opening of Monday's show unless I faked sick to stay home. Waiting for the next season on Netflix doesn't even come close.
Love this story, Joannie. I probably did the same thing and felt the same way for many years calling friends when the cliffhanger came saying, "can you believe what just happened."
What a trip to watch old clips with you all!!! This was so, so good. "It's like watching our grandchildren" 😅👍
Thank you for watching along with us.
They're now old enough to be grandparents.
Thanks so much for hosting the four musketeers! They were all fabulous as always! ❤❤❤
You're very welcome, Cynthia. Thank you for watching.
I felt so bad when Beth went blind when Lujack’s club exploded.
What a fabulous trip down memory lane wonderful sensational interview❤
🩵🙏🩵
I started watching GL because of these Actors there the best love Judi Evans ❤😊
😍😍😍😍
I still watch the Guiding Light on you tube. I wish it hadn't gone off the air. Loved these four. God bless you all. I would love to see these four continue to act together. Any chance of a spin off of Guiding Light ????
Wouldn't that be great, Peggy! A spin-off we would all watch.
@@TheLocherRoom Definitely. Love your shows. Love these four and Love Guiding Light. Thank y'all for all the entertainment years ago and thank y'all for the videos on you tube. I listen to them at work.
So cool. Great memories. Love classic GL gold.
Glad you enjoyed it, Henry!
Krista and Judi are beautiful,kind ,and sweet!!
100 % correct.
Love them!
Thanks for another wonderful cast reunion. I was a huge fan (and still am) of Judi Evans during the storyline when Beth was blind after an explosion. Seeing the clips you shared during this interview took me down memory lane.
I'm so happy to hear this, Ryan. Thank you for watching.
Alan… a thousand thank you’s!!! I appreciate this SO much!
You bet, Brian. Thank you for watching.
❤ Sweet memories....I loved these 4 actors so much back in the 80's. You can feel the admiration and respect they all have for one another. I wrote fan letters to Judi Evans and Vincent Irizarry back in the day and they both wrote me back and sent me autographed pictures. They were so sweet to us fans.
I love hearing this. Thank you so much.
This was great!! Thanks, Alan.
Glad you enjoyed it, Matthew.
Thank you! I loved seeing them and hearing their stories. I started watching GL now on utube
You only watched GL on UA-cam? Incredible, Christine. Thank you for watching.
Just like I know they are all great!!
😍
I was obsessed with thrm
In The UK in the 1980's there were The Four Musketeers on Eastenders. Sharon Watts, her Best Friend Michelle Fowler, her Brother Mark and their Cousin Ian Beale. It was in London's North Side in the 1980's and times were rough and tough. If you sent The UK Eastenders Kids to Springfield and The Four Musketeers to Albert Square they would each be stunned. June 15th was the day that Queen Noor married King Hussein, and it is The Birthday of Nadine Coyle of The UK Group Girls Aloud.
Love that. Thank you for sharing.
@@TheLocherRoomWould you say that the reason why they were so close was because they each knew the heartbreak of not having their Mother/Father growing up. They also gave me the impression of being semi racist, I didn't like how they treated Mel. I would have loved for Rick to spend time with Mel's Family and have them call him Opie, and see what it's like to be an outcast.
The Four Musketeers🤗🤗🤗
🩵🩵
OMG . Can't possibly be 40 years . Love these guys so much. Why did Judi leave Guiding Light?
She moved to L.A. to be on Days of Our Lives as Adrienne.
😍👍😍
😍😍😍😍
After 40 years.. I feel such an inexplicable closeness to these people from guiding light like none other
She basically played the same type of role on Days
Hi Michael I wanted too see these4musketeeers for so long they were amazing together I watched them every Day I was 17❤ Farhana Rahman
