In the 1970s, Bert Bauer's two sons fought over the lovely Leslie. I think I better start looking at my gmail account more often to keep up. But then Ben wanted Hope to pose in the nude, and Mike and Hope were both disturbed by this. Unfortunately, as she left town, Eve caught sight of Ben kissing Hope (not realizing they were saying goodbye), and ran out in the pouring rain, tripped and fell. Then in the November 1979, Lucille was summoned by Alan Spaulding's father, Brandon Spaulding to his "death" bed, and the audience would learn the startling secret that Lucille was hiding: that Amanda was actually the product of an affair between Alan and a woman that Alan had known when he was younger, Jane Marie Stafford. Very weird. I remember her being active on YouTube. In a drunken stupor, and tortured over his double life, he did not contact Bert to tell her he was alive; eventually he made his way to Simone, who got him sober, and he had remained with her ever since. Amanda Wexler (Kathleen Cullen, July 18, 1978 until end of decade), introduced as Lucille's sheltered daughter, a classical pianist, began a relationship with Ben. (Roger was, in fact the biological father of the child Holly had while married to Ed, Christina, who was born in July 1975; the truth about this came out when Chrissy needed a blood transfusion and Holly couldn't provide it because she had had hepatitis as a child. September 14, 2019 - Michael O'Leary recalls his years on Guiding Light Dishing With Digest. Under The Dobsons this character became one of the sexiest and most complicated "vixens" (The Dobsons are credited with making her a complicated "vixen") in the show's history when nurse Rita Stapleton arrived in Springfield and later was joined, in the summer of 1976, by her sweet sister Eve and mother Viola. Meta's third husband Bruce Banning and Bert tried to tell Meta to not interfere, but Holly heard what Meta felt about her and was concerned that Ed might leave her at any moment. Lainie briefly worked for Mike and another attorney, Derek Colby introduced in 1980, after Ann Jeffers left for another job offer. Upon Rita's return to Springfield during the summer of 1980, she and Ed tried to resume their marriage, but were forced to admit that they'd grown too far apart; Rita and Alan became close during this time, and eventually, their relationship evolved into an ongoing affair (despite the fact that Rita was, by marriage, Hope's aunt). Mike and Leslie looked like they were going to be able to get married anyway, until unfortunately, for them, Charlotte picked up a very interesting new ally in her quest to stay married to Mike, Dr. Steve Jackson, who told Mike he better not cause a scandal for his daughter by divorcing Charlotte who had just suffered a miscarriage. And the rape was considered one of the most realistic looking rapes in daytime (a few months earlier, in October 1978, Roger had raped Rita Stapleton, with actor Michael Zaslow and actress Lenore Kasdorf both complaining that that rape was made to look like to the audience as though it was very romantic, instead of an act of violence.) Now almost 100 days into Trump’s presidency, we’re all reeling from the forked tongue that has become our democracy. In 1979, there would be further remote location shooting for the show done in Saint Lucia, Puerto Rico, Florida and other parts of the Caribbean. Holly, of course, found out she was pregnant with Chrissy and then lied to everyone that she was Ed's child (of course that would all come out after Chrissy needed a blood transfusion when she came down with hepatitis.) Peggy would end up moving back to Boise, Idaho and living with Billy.). (Prior to 1975, when the last two soaps, As the World Turns and The Edge of Night went from airing live to tape, remote location shooting was considered rare in soaps and also too expensive for their budgets.) became one of the most popular and riveting romances on television period. Then in February 1980, Roger attempted to abduct Christina from a charity carnival for Cedars at a nearby park, but instead, in an Emmy-winning sequence (the second set of scenes submitted), circumstances led to his chasing a pregnant Rita through a hall-of-mirrors as the Donna Summer/Barbra Streisand hit "No More Tears (Enough is Enough)" played in the background. (Charles Eiler also told the police that while he was walking his dog out in the rain, he saw Leslie running through the park in the pouring rain, earlier that evening, crying and shouting, "I could kill that man!") A matter of fact, Ross Marler (introduced by The Dobsons on March 23, 1979) would remain part of the show's canvas, until later writers killed him off, in 2006 (the actor who played Ross, Jerry verDorn would stay with the show until the fall of 2005 which made him the longest running {consecutively} cast member, at that time, of all time 26 years and which only became second for all-time only eclipsed by Charita Bauer's record of 34 years that she set in the fall of 1984), and the character of Alan Spaulding (introduced by The Dobsons on November 7, 1977) would remain part of the show's canvas off-and-on until September 2009, although with two major recasts. Bert and Papa were angered by Mike when they found out that he and Leslie had started back up their affair, and Bert forced Mike's hand that he needed to go and rescue Charlotte, which he did. It’s all about providing for and protecting your children. Rita, who had grown close to Hillary and felt protective of her, saw that Roger was merely seeing Hillary to get to Ed and Mike (since she had been revealed to be their half-sister). And Roger's on-and-off again tortured romance with another character started under Soderberg and Sommer, Holly Norris Bauer Thorpe, Stanley Norris' daughter (played by Lynn Deerfield and then more memorably by Maureen Garrett), who was supposedly the "love of Roger's life". Just not all at the same time. “Katie” Grows Up! When Ben started to become suspicious of Lucille's involvement in Brandon's "death", Lucille continued to find even more bizarre ways to kill her nemesis, Ben McFarren. Beautiful, but a bit of a social climber, Rita came from a modest upbringing in West Virginia, but was motivated to make a better life for herself. Ed was taken to Cedars, and it would be learned that he could no longer perform surgery with his right hand. Actually Jerry VerDorn survived as the longest-running cast member. At the same time Ben got Amanda to put away her dolls and stop acting like a child, and restart her dream of becoming a concert pianist. Meanwhile, as this was happening, Holly learned that Roger had told Chrissy (within earshot of Barbara) that he planned to take her out of the country, and also headed to Roger's office at Spaulding, walking in on Ed and Roger engaged in a fist fight. The public LOVED "Mark" & "Katie" together. When Rita later found out she was pregnant, she wasn't sure if the baby was Ed's or Greg's; she initially planned to abort the pregnancy, but after discussing her situation with her mother, Viola (who offered to raise the baby herself, if Rita would go through with the pregnancy), she decided to have the baby.
