Guiding Light - MESSAGE BOARDS

Harley,is throwing a good man away! Instad of fighting for him ,she justs says," No, I can't take it anymore." If Gus, does decide to just stay away from her, too bad, she has brought it all upon herself. She really hurt Gus, deeply this time. So cry, cry ,cry, Harley, I don't feel sorry for you anymore. I wanted her to patch this marriage up, but, she gave caved in too quickly. BE is a great actress. So full of emotion!

Did you expect anything better from the real queen of SF?

While watching Friday, I said to myself: "This marriage is over." It's fait accompli. Harley does not want to be married. She wants an dictatorship. One-sided rule. She can make mistakes, but everyone else must gingerly walk the party line with no deviation. If not, then they are out of her queendom. I didn't need to see Friday's ep to know that Harley is not interested in saving her marriage. Harley's top priority is to beat Natalia, not save her marriage or love Gus.

Harley, Gus, Natalia, Dylan, and Alan all had a hand in the problems within Harley and Gus' marriage. However, Harley, for the first time in a long time, isn't blaming everyone else, she has even accepted her part in the problems.

She told Gus that she would make herself scarce when Dylan came around to see Daisy, but when she asks Gus if he can spend time with Rafe without including Nat, he can't answer her. All he can do is continue to blame Alan for all of his own actions. Good for Harley for pushing him to admit that he would have slept with Nat anyway, finally, Gus admitted his attraction to Nat and accepted his part in this whole fiasco.

I'm still anxiously awaiting for Harley to be honest about her latent feelings for Dylan. Harley continues to lie to herself and everyone else. That's my problem with her. (That "drugged out" scene on the balcony proved to me that Harley gets all tingly down there whenever Dylan is around.) Gus, being a stupid male, fell for Harley's no-win trap. Harley only wanted the truth so that she could continue to use it as a weapon and beat him upside the head with that truth, saying "I told you so," all along the way. He should have continued to lie. That's the only language that Harley understands these days.

Harley needs to be hoist on her own petard.

How typical. It's her fault, blame Harley, she did this. Sure. Okay she admitted her mistakes and offered a solution, to stay away from Dylan and she's done that. But Gus is constantly running to Natalia every half an hour. She was gone and he spent the entire time with Natalia, he leaves their house- which was both their idea!!- and he runs straight to her! Not to mention him stroking her hand right in front of Harley's face!

Their wedding day, does he go get her and catch a plane out to see Rafe? Nope. He's a liar, he says one thing and then does the opposite. He want's to be married to Harley but have Natalia on his arm. It's not fair to either of them. He just wont stop, and it doesn't make it easier when the other woman told her she's out to get him!

Forget it. I wouldn't do it either. He obviously wants Natalia.

The marriage is over. Harley is gonna run away like a little girl from her adult problems, again. Gus, like a confused idiot, will not know how to live life outside of the service of Harley. Gus should be just as loud and incorrigible regarding Harley's indiscretion with Mallet. If he could easily forgive that, then Harley needs to get a grip. They both did wrong, but for each time she screams and rolls her eyes at Natalia's name, Gus should scream equally loud: Mallet and her not being able to wait for the death certificate before she laid down. Gus wants to work this out, but Harley is putting up all the roadblocks.

An ultimatum?! With that, she deserves to be alone. Go on, whine and cry to that relationship specialist, Frank. Oops...he doesn't have a clue either. He hasn't been laid in how many years? Oh well...those Coopers sho do know it all, don't they?

??? What she did with Mallet, I would say was worse, but she made up for it and Gus hasn't. The point is, he keeps on digging and digging with Natalia and he just wont stop.

Do you think that Gus will stop being so 'friendly' with Natalia?

Sure you don't, neither does Harely, but she left Mallet alone and she stood by Gus. That's why they can't save their marriage because he will not leave that woman alone!!!

That post is totally unfair merrymary.

Harley did give Gus another chance, but every time what does he do???

She's at the hospital with Dylan, he was with Natalia
She's at Buzz's mayor event and he's stroking Natalia's hand right in front of her face.
They both decide that he should leave the house, where does he go? Natalia!!!
When he wants to talk about his marital problems, who does he talk to?? NATALIA!!!!

And she finally agrees to remarry him and at the first phone call he runs off all the way to New York. He wrote a note, nice and all, but don't you think if your husband ran off, even if it were for his sick son, on your wedding day that he should have had the decency to come and tell you, or bring you. What was she- ACROSS TOWN!!!!

She tried, but he wont leave her be. He forgave her for Mallet, but she also wasn't constantly running back to Mallet after that either.

How did Harley make up for what she did with Mallet. From what I saw, the only thing that was done was for them to move on at Harley's insistence. It's always Harley's Rule #1: one cannot go around dredging up Harley's bad acts. She's always throwing stones when she does nothing but sit in a glass house. Gus wants to be married to Harley, but now he has an ultimatum in his way. The town ain't big enough for the three of them to cohabitate. Harley told him: me or them? Sorry. That's the language of a fifth grader. How is he to ignore his new son Rafe because Harley cannot take the damage to her fragile, outsized ego? Gus never made Harley choose: them or me? And he had countless opportunities to put his foot down.

No point. The main issue is constantly being ignored, that he refuses to stop running to Natalia.
