- This month we have a different kind of video. This is one I've wanted to do for so long. Sentieri Online actually gave me a little push because they wanted a video like this so I decided to create this video finally. It was tough to decide who to put in this video and as you watch it you may feel that certain actors were left out that should be in this "well known" category. I'm sorry if I left anyone out, but feel free to put those actors in your comments. As I compiled the list I realized what great talent came from this amazing show. It was also fun to see little surprises show up in form of day players who are now popular on other things. Enjoy!
Around 8:00 is Sherry Stringfield as Blake Thorpe. She was always front burning her entire three years cuz she was the epitome of being Roger's daughter. The recast was Holly's daughter.
More great work!
Nice to see the clips of Chris Bernau.
Really miss this show
Me, too!
This was great, thank you for doing this! I only have one small complaint... the background music is just too loud. In future, could you please tone that down?
Also in The UK, Popstars appeared on Soaps. Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud did Eastenders, and her bandmate Cheryl Ann Tweedy guest starred on Coronation Street. Alot of former UK Group Members reinvent themselves on Soaps. From Spandau Ballet, Hear'Say, Neon Jungle, and Boyzone who guest starred on As The World Turns. They have done Cornation Street, Fair City (An Irish Soap Opera), and Eastenders
Daniel & His Sister Natasha made UK Music History by being the Only Siblings to go to Number One with Solo Hits. Also don't forget that Four Dreamgirls Alumni appeared on The Show. Jennifer Holliday (The Tony Award Winning Effie), Sharon Leal, Karla Mosley, and Yvonna Kopacz. It's also had the midas touch for casting alot of outstanding African American Actors/Actresses. Giancarlo Esposito, Kevin Mambo, Jesse L. Martin, Nia Long, Taye Diggs, Angela Basset, Ruby Dee, Cicely Tyson, Billy Dee Williams James Earl Jones.
There was NOTHING like the Guiding Light and there will never be anything like the Guiding Light - it was the bomb, the GOAT. . .after they canceled it P&G AND CBS took a nosedive as they should have. . .K A R M A . . .Hey, CBS how are your ratings??? Do folks trust you??? Just askin for a friend 😙
Don't forget that Ashford & Simpson, The B 52's and Maurice Gibb of The Bee Gees were on the Show durign the Wired For Sound Storyline. Ashford (RIP) and Valerie Simpson are still the most successful married R & B Songwriting Team in Music. They don't have to do new music because they still get paid with the old songs.
Cynthia Watros is kicking butt on General Hospital. Hayden Panitierre had some problems with addiction, Brittany Snow did American Dreams, and did the "New Girl In Town" which was a Pop Song that was originally an R & B Song. Nia means purpose in Swahili. Also Joe McIntyre's Sister was an under five player and he and Sharon Leal worked with each other on Boston Public. Last Night Donnie Wahlburg indcted New Edition into The NAACP Hall Of Fame. He acknowledged that were it not for "them", there wouldn't be a New Kids, Backsreet Boys, N'Sync, and even One Direction. They really were the blueprint for Boybands during the burgeoning Video Age.
Steven Weber played John Kennedy aka "Jack" in The Kennedys of Massachusetts and Jordan Clarke (Ex Billy) played Joe Kennedy Jr's Commanding Officer, and Thomas Gibson was in Tales Of The City. Also both Cicely Tyson and Angela Bassett won honorary Oscars.
I love how everyone in the huge cast gets to play 6 Degrees!
The special guest appearance of the late great Joan Bennett is missing. She appeared in many roles during the Golden Years of Hollywood before playing Elizabeth Collins Stoddard on Dark Shadows. She made a special appearance on GL involving Hola and her best friend a hair dresser that left Springfield as a personal stylist for Miss Bennett.
Also Calista Flockhart starred in the cult classic The Birdcage.
Here's a funny Story. On The UK Soap Opera Coronation sTreet Debbie Webster finds out her Niece Sophie is dating an Older Woman Paula 48/26. She says "What's The Deal With You & Ally McBeal". I told UK Soap Fans about how Calista Flockhart was on Guiding Light. In the past couple of years alot of Actors from UK Shows got their start on soap Operas most notably Coronation Street. Sarah Lancashire, Rob James Collier, Joanna Froggat, and Suranne Jones who have gained cult status on shows like Downton Abbey, Last Tango In Halifax, Happy Valley and Gentleman Jack. Matt Bomer was part of the Tony Award Winning Cast for "The Boys In The Band" for best Revival Of A Broadway Play. Also in future years some of The African American Actors would work in Movies directed by Spike Lee, & Tyler Perry. Taye Diggs & Nia Long worked with each other on The Best Man and both were on the Cover of Essence America's Longest Running African American Women's Magazine.
Most of these I knew but Thomas Gibson?? He looked just like Jackson Freemont
I figured some of these would be a surprise to fans.
🥳🌞🎈☀️💕😍😍😃
Sharon Leal has also done alot of directing doing African American Shows.
Me waiting for Nia Ling and Lauren Hill
🇺🇸🥧⭐️🎂🎁🎉🌹
