Guiding Light - MESSAGE BOARDS

They'll get there.

I think the slow pace is perfect when you consider what much of this SL is about. This long and oh so well developed love story is as much if not more about the evolution and redemption of Olivia Spenser than it is about anything else.

Olivia's character has truly changed and continues to change and the fact that she is willing to do things so differently than she has in the past, including delaying sex, or at least making it more about commitment and love is really beautiful and inspirational. True love is her guide and she's willing to be patient, respect Nat's faith and beliefs, and let Nat be her guide.

In the meantime I'm thoroughly enjoying the courtship, long lingering glances and unabashed flirting. So nice to have something to long for and anticipate for a change.

I agree, I like the way it's going. Yes they will get there sooner or later.

I am not against anything in this world, but this s/l is boring. I am not sitting in front of my TV waiting for them to kiss again. I read the blogs. Super couple, give me a break, the only thing that is super is Nat's belly and O's straight hair.

In Soapland everything goes downhill once a couple truly commits on all levels. Then it's affairs, murder, blackmail, comas, memory loss etc. I far prefer the long "getting together" part to the inevitable pulling apart once they actually are together in every way.[/quote]

I agree with this statement 100%!!!! We want a couple )any couple) to get together so badly. Then we expect a "happily ever after" when they do. That's never how it works. Then we scream for the writers to let our couple have a little time to be happy before the next drama; that never seems to work.

I think that with this type of relationship, there is so much drama and fear to work through before it's an "official" relationship in viewers' eyes. The writers are doing a great job of letting the fans think about the relationship for awhile before proceeding to the next phase.

I know Jessica is due in June and that they tape ahead of time. I'm not sure how far ahead the taping is. If anybody could answer that, I'd appreciate it. Does anybody know the maternity leave time also? I hope they have enough taped ahead to last throughout most of the leave.

They are friends thats it! They are both confusing friendship and love since O has never had a real female friend and Nat has been so busy being a single mom and now that her hubby is dead and o has his heart she is confused! Hopefully Rafe being home will smack some sense into her!!

Still don't buy it!! IMO even that!! They probably couldn't find a man who wanted them and settled! I know this sounds awful but heres why I am overweight and have been most of my life. All through hs I always wanted a boyfriend but non would give me the time of day! I made many mistakes(with men) looking for one to "love" me, When I finally got with my hubby my self esteem was so low I probably would have fell for anyone( we knew each other from school) I just think it's nuts!! I think it's settling because they don't want to be alone and honestly who better than a women to know what we like!!

I don't get it! I have friends that are gay but we don't discuss it!! They do get mad @ me for my opinion but @ the same time understand my point of view! I'm not always the most eloquent and many times I open mouth insert foot!!

Apparently both Olivia and Natalia both realize that the pair of them being viewed as a couple is an unconventional type of relationship which is viewed by society as being taboo or else they would be open to everyone that they are a couple if that is what they are...However, I am still under the assumption that they are very good friends and it is not a physical relationship. Just because little Emma has labeled Olivia and Natalia "My two Mommies" doesn't make them a couple. There are plenty of children being raised by a Mommy with the help of a Nanny whom the child sees as his/her two Mommies, but that doesn't make all Mommy/Nanny pairings a couple.

Has that poor kid Even seen her Dad yet?

Missed it! I watch sometimes between commercials( im a GH watcher). O is letting him near her? Thats new!
