Guiding Light - MESSAGE BOARDS

I don't even like Harley, but I think she's getting a raw deal. Sorry, I call em like I see em.

Where are the Harley supporters at?

As a married woman, I would hate to see all my faults come to light, but sometimes we must hit rock-bottom to see ourselves as we truly are. I'm not a Harley fan, but I do feel sympathy for her at this point. Gus sucker-punched her in the gut(sleeping with Nat) and that's hard to deal with. However, when knowing that someone is just waiting on your man - this should inspire Harley to just bit the bullet and repair her marriage NOW. Access the damage and move in the right direction, if that's possible. I think Harley is in a terrible position because as long as Nat is in town, she will always be an issue for them.

She's hurting though, and it's not like she has to accept just one accident, he keeps on digging and digging. The day she comes back, Natalia throws the "I'm the mother of his child and I ain't backin off"- then five minutes later, Gus is rubbing her hand right in front of her face.

Then when they BOTH decided to take some space he runs right over there to where she is.

I mean, I agree she should be ontop of this but DAMN, he just wont quit, and that's a lot to swallow.

Gus has had to swallow countless nonsense from Harley:

- Three ex husbands
- Not waiting for his "death" to be formalized before she bedded Mallet
- Three children by three different men
- Her family
- Her career
- Being Harley's obedient lapdog
- Constant flirting with Dylan
- Not being allowed to be a part of Daisy's life as a father figure ("Dylan is her father," Harley can't help but remind him each and every day )
- Her need for complete and total utter control of everyone and everything in her orbit
- And a partridge in a pear tree

But when it's time for Harley to take a dose of her own medicine, she cannot hack it, blames everyone else for her marital problems, and whines like a little girl instead of taking the bull by the horns and fixing her marriage. I'm glad that Gus ran to Nat. It proves to Harley that she is not the one and only deal in town.

Harley is the prototypical bully.

I don't truely agree with the last bit, but I think she's getting a raw deal. I mean, what do you want her to do just keep on forgiving him? He won't stop the maddness!!!

I know that you know that, gutsy. But Harley pretends that Gus was created from her rib bone. A marriage supposedly goes both ways. Harley can't forgive Gus, but he's eternally expected to instantaneously accept Harley's flaws (which she constantly denies exist until too late).

I want Harley to work this out, but she is undermining my supportive feelings each step along the way. Now she's going to blame Nat for drugging her. The drugs made her do it. Noooooo. An intoxicated tongue speaks a sober mind. The Valium merely caused her to drop her guard with Dylan and express her true feelings. "I'm glad you're around, Dylan," she cooed sexy tones. The only day that she was speaking any sort of truth was when she was on drugs. She should use them more often if that's the case.

All I have to say is that the fact that Gus accepts this treatment from his wife says more about his weak constitution than Harley's attitude.

If he accepts this kind of treatment that's his problem.

Just one more thought on the "fault" of Tammy dying.

Scenerio: Harley and the boys, Nat and Raf are in Harley's house. Allan doesn't know about Nat and Raf but sets the house on fire anyways to kill Harley so she'll get out of Gus's life. Got it so far. Now Gus, realizing what's happening runs into the burning house and saves Harley, the boys, Nat and Raf but in the process he himself dies from the fire. Is Gus at fault for this? It seems Allan was the one who put everything in motion. In both cases, the person who started the "murder" should be the only one to blame for the tragedy. Not the end person who dies.
