Thanks for running this clip. Beverlee McKinsey was the grand dame on soaps...I still miss her presence on GUIDING LIGHT. To see Michael Zaslow's Roger in the doorway at the end of her monologue standing tall and handsome and speaking clearly is doubly sad. I miss both of them very much.
ALEXANDRA SPAULDING was indeed the GRAND DAMME of Springfield! 🏰. Brilliantly portrayed by Beverlee McKenzie and later by Marj Dusay, each adding her own distinct interpretation! 🏆 👑 👑. ALEXANDRA may have been a BARONESS, but Beverlee and Marj were QUEENS 👸 👸of Daytime Drama! Unfortunately both are gone as is Guiding Light ,the longest running soap in history 😢
By the end, yes, but never rich enough. Roger's entire being was to measure up to the Springfield elite but he never lived up to the "Springfield Idea" he railed against year after year.
I somewhat agree. I think the writers were responsible for the lack of character all of the cast eventually had to suffer through. After 1995, the show had a decline that eventually led to cancelation. 90 to 95 was wonderful.
i agree with you nkeegon thorpe i hjated the elizabeth kiefer vershon of blake she was such aweekelen a victom she was not shery stringfilerd sherry stringfield should have never left guiding light i do hope sherry stringfield gets lots of hallmark movie offers and hallmark christmas movie offers she is a good actress elizabethkiefer was alousy blake they should have written her off just like the other mindys were very much lousy
You can't possibly believe that Marj was a better Alex. The role was written specifically for Beverlee and no one could come close to her performance. Mary did as good as anyone could considering what she had to follow but her Alex pailed in comparison and was never written the same.

SS was my favorite Blake!
And she held her own against Beverlee... no small feat
Sherry was AWESOME as blake, the recast of Blake,Mindy(Ann) and alexandra(Marj) really hurt GL
Me too
@@DitalianCole when they recast Blake with Elizabeth keifer the character lost all her fire
SS was more Roger's daughter. LK is more Holly's daughter.
Blake outfit reminds me "Vita Pierce" dress style in the movie "MIldred Pierce".
Beverlee McKinsey was brilliant!!
I love Alexandra
Loved Beverlee!
So miss guiding light and Beverlee Mckinsey
Beautiful Beverlee McKinsey.
Beverlee could deliver a line with such grace and venom at the same time
"What plot?" 1:26 😅 The writing during these days was second to none. SS Blake was a force!
ALEXANDRA SPAULDING was indeed the GRAND DAMME of Springfield! 🏰. Brilliantly portrayed by Beverlee McKenzie and later by Marj Dusay, each adding her own distinct interpretation! 🏆 👑 👑.

Love BM
Also miss michael zaslow him and beverlee made guiding light!
Got to say you are right!!! Beverly tears up the scene. I love that seduce him with what ! LOL!!! LMAO!!! SHe delivers a scene with intensity.
How sad Beverly passed away
Wasn't Roger rich?
By the end, yes, but never rich enough. Roger's entire being was to measure up to the Springfield elite but he never lived up to the "Springfield Idea" he railed against year after year.
Whatever money Roger ever had, he stole from other people.
I much preferred this version of Blake. The Elizabeth Kiefer version was such a victim. And had no backbone or spunk.
I somewhat agree. I think the writers were responsible for the lack of character all of the cast eventually had to suffer through. After 1995, the show had a decline that eventually led to cancelation. 90 to 95 was wonderful.
EK had spunk but not this spirit. "What plot?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

the second alex was better
Marj Dusay was absolutely HORRIBLE in the role of Alexandra, Beverlee McKinsey was irreplaceable
