Quote PelphreyPosse: Just heard a couple of hours ago from a source in NYC that about 5 o'clock Wednesday Crystal Chapell signed with Days Of Our Lives. She will stay on GL until the end (Sept) on t.v but August for tapings. Guess that puts the kabosh on the Otalia storyline. I for one never subscribed to the theory that the O storyline helped GL. The ratings have stayed around 1.5 for many months. Before this storyline and since this storyline. I can't remember whether or not C's family had moved to NYC from L.A. or not. Maybe she was just ready to go back to Cal. but at any rate she must believe that GL isn't going to move to another network. Course her contract was getting close to ending too I think, so maybe Days just offered her more money to come back than she would get from GL. Who knows? Oh, also heard that they plan to have Philip be terminally ill with about three months to live. If this is true, it really is a bad idea, but with Ed B. coming back this could tie in.


You're the greatest! Thanks for that information! I never bought into Otalia either! It's so easy to tell the executives at Guiding Light was went wrong for the show, but they would not listen to fans, would they?

Getting rid of core characters like Philip, Ross, Danny, Michelle, and many other we loved so much, in part, led to the ratings fall! As far as keeping Phillip, that's an impossibility! They need to keep characters like Edmund! As bad as Edmund is, I love him!

Busting up established pairs is another factor that kills viewership! I never bought into Jeffrey and Reva, and now they are implying Josh and Blake? Prolonged storylines get boring after awhile and viewers lose interest! Bringing in a gay storyline, to me, is a good idea, but changing an established character's orientation for it, is just plain stupid!

I love Crystal Chappell! She will be the reason that I watch DOOL! Now I really have to get a DVR!

I have to agree with Touched. I think that the ratings started going down when Phillip left, and then when the hottest couple at the time "Danny and Michelle" were let go out of the blue. Then they separated Josh and Reva. Then they keep Bill and Lizzie apart. Then, there is O/N. So dumb. They expect us to believe that Olivia is gay. Never, Olivia likes men to much. Why didn't they bring her a new man on the show? You can't do stuff like this and expect fans that have watched for years to stay faithful. I just hope that when CC goes to DOOL that she stays away from Bo and doesn't cause any problems for him and Hope.

Quote EAB42: I for one am extremely happy for Crystal on her signing with Days, I am a Days fan but I have become an avid Guiding Light fan because of the Otalia story line. I think it has been amazingly truthful story. I love the fact that its pretty much lableless. I also think that Crystal and Jessica have done an amazing job with it. So I think I have to disagree with your thought that the storyline didnt help Guiding Light.....(oh by the way I straight last time I checked....ooops guess that is a label too!)



I agree, could not have said it better myself. I love this storyline and I for one think that it has boost the ratings a little. I look at it as true love story not a gay issue as everyone wants to see. Even if it was who cares. It's one the best love stories I seen in a long time. I love the chemistry between the two actors. They are doing an excellent job. Yes, I did hear that Crystal has signed on with DOOL. I'm just glad she was able to find employment somewhere else, especially with the economy being the way it is. One must do what they have to in order to take care of their family. I will miss her and the Otalia storyline but it doesn't seem that G/L has found a new home so we must move on. It will be missed. Congrats to Crystal Chappell. She's a great actress and I'm sure she will do well wherever she goes.

Other shows are probably wishing a true decision was made regarding Light or no Light! IMO GL has some of the best actors on daytime and I bet other shows are dying to sign them on!

Same here...What about Liv in the store looking for a vibrator!!!!!! WTF are you kidding me !!!! It is just not her style I'm sorry...Blake yes...Olivia no,no,no...she always had more class than something like that.



Yes, O has to much class to do that, she would send her personal shopper for that!!

It took me a while to even understand what Liv and Blake were talking about...it was an "icky" scene when one understood what was going on...no class is absolutely true about whole thing in my estimation...Gl is sinking down fast now, it seems....jdvermeer

GL should try to go out with some dignity, this year so far they have spit on what dignity they had, turn the clock back a few years. Get back to the old days when the show was good, right now with Olivia and Natalia it is crazy, why not have Billy playing the roll of an astronaut building a space shuttle in his spare time, that would be about as believable as Olivia and Natalia. Olivia is still making out with Josh, so it's clear she is not 100% committed to this.

I think Billy would look cool in an astronaut suit. He'd just have to figure out how to eat pie in space and he'd be set.

I have to say I feel as disgusted with the Bizzie combo as some here feel about Otalia! The SL of Bill and Lizzie is so contrived and immature in its portrayal. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen such bad ~~~~~~~~ The scenes with Bizzie actually make me cringe. Also, I don’t like Jeffy-boy (the rapist) and Reva together. I much prefer Josh be with her. (BTW KZ is a great actress!)


Edited for actor bashing .Actor bashing goes against board guidelines.

As for the Otalia SL (BTW CC is a fantastic actress!). Olivia 100% committed to Natalia? Well, Liv does have history with Josh and they have quite the chemistry. But the character of Olivia put the brakes on pretty quick during their kissing scene. I would say she has some pretty heavy duty commitment to Natalia. But, this is a Soap Opera, after all, and ya need a little zing-badda-bing to spice up the story now doncha know! LOL

Anyway, as for the Otalia SL being believable or not - I will use myself as an example. I had my fair share of boyfriends when I was young but then I settled down. I was married 13 years to a man and have two sons from that relationship. Unfortunately the marriage did not work and we divorced. I then met and fell in love with a woman. We have been raising our son (her biological son) together for over 12 years now! So, I would just like to say to those here that think it’s just not believable for someone to change their preferences in life – believe it. It can happen. I am hardly unique in this scenario. I was not the first nor will I be the last to switch hit for the other team during the middle of a game. Pretending such things don’t happen is naïve to say the least. Just saying…

Speaking of rumors, did anyone notice that Natalia is about to give birth? I hope they have a medic standing by. Are they going to kill off her character - hey, maybe she killed Edmond!

Jeez, disgusted by Bizzie. That's a bit overdoing it dontcha think? I can understand not liking but disgusted? If I were to say that Otalia were disgusting (which IMO they are not) I would be called everything from a bigot to a homophobe.
