Tuesday's Show
Permalink  
 


Today's show gave me the chills.. It was so powerful.  The sadness & tears in their eyes are real emotion.     I think I am in mourning.   
I"m in denial...I still can't believe its going off the air...  I come here hoping someone will post that soapnetwork or some channel picked them up!

I'm happy so far with the episodes wrapping up.     A few more hopefully will tidy up before Friday.

WOW!  AMAZING!!! 

Lori, I feel exactly the same.  I'm in shock and denial that GL is really ending.  I feel as if I'll go through a mourning process -- denial, anger, whatever the other steps are, and hopefully, one day, acceptance.  I feel grief stricken.

I wonder if CBS will offer any kind of counseling for those of us who are devastated by our loss?

I'm in shock that what happened happened... I didn't know...

I feel so sad because Josh is ending up with loose ends.  I want him to be happy... with Reva, of course.  Everyone else gets their happy ending.  Oh, right, and Rick.  Poor Rick.  Always the bridesmaid.

I'm happy to see so many characters returning for the end and WHOA! was that Catherine Chancellor!?  Where did she come from!?

Cool that Nola was there.  

I want to see everyone end up happy.  Still sad about Alan.

That was Katherine Chancellor & Michael Baldwin but I didn't understand that at all.  I had to rewind with closed caption to see what she called her.   She called her Cecelia, and Justin.  I didn't get that.   

As soon as I saw Alan on the bench I knew then.   And then when you think about it, he said his goodbyes to everyone at the wedding, and even had a toast to him.  He died a happy man.

I think what happened with Alan was completely fitting for the ending of the show. He's been a complex charachter for so many years. I think he had a good heart, but couldn't stop the control freik in him. He died the man he always wanted to be. A hero, good father, selfless man. He made amends with everyone and seems to have died peacefully & happy. Of course I am really sad, and would like to have imagined Alan living happily ever after as the good guy, but you know that would never happen. It would only be so long until he went back to his old ways. I jsut can't believe poor Rick & Josh are going to end up alone, I would have rather them reconciled Mel & Rick than Mel & Cyrus????? WHy did Cyrus get a happy ending, when our good guys Josh & Rick are going to be alone? And Matt, I felt so bad for him. I'm happy about Billy & Vanessa, but poor Matt, why can't he be happy too??

I know this has been said, and felt by everyone, but OMG I can not believe this is happening. I had to page forward in my dish guide to see Guilding Light NOT on there next week, but I still just can't believe it. It is like some killing off my friends and family. boohoo! I will go into morning Friday with the rest of you. Does anyone know anything about the event in Atlanta Kim spoke of in the Nelson Branco interview?

I"m not upset he died.  We're not going to see the show anymore, so its not like they are sending him off we won't see just him.   Kind of ends GL, no Alan Spaulding no GL.      Today was pretty emotional.   GA was phenominal.  The scene with him sitting on the bench next to Alan gave me chills and when Alexandra walked into the hospital room, I knew it was going to be a tear jerker, so I paused it, and got my tissues ready.   Now for the previews, it looks like Josh is going to make a play for Reva.....I can't figure how this will end with those 2.   At this point I almost wish Jeffrey would die trying to save Reva so Reva & Josh can have their happy ending.  Maybe it wont ahppen right now, but I think the lsat 1/2 hour of the show is Fast forward ahead 1 year, and I hope Reva/josh are together then.

I just watched Tuesday's and today's episode and feel like someone punched me.  It really was like losing a family member.  Lori, you said 'chills' and that summed it up in one word.  You could feel the gut wrenching emotional rawness of each actor.  You are right, there is no GL without Alan.

Yes.........but there are two sons.  Had this happened in the show as it continued forward, Alan Michael would return.  There'd be an awful power struggle between the brothers and a very nasty Alan M. Spaulding would prevail.

Ruff..> I think you should write & direct a spinoff of GL. The Spauldings! We can still use Ron Raines as a ghost that narrates the whole show, just like on Desperate Housewives!!!!! Lets have A-M return with Hope Bauer, Momma there to help her son regain what is rightfully his!!

Wouldn't the conflicts between Hope and Alex be a blast! 

Who was Philip's mother?

We can co-write.

Elizabeth was married to Alan at the time they adopted him.  Biological was Jackie Marler

Great idea! Cindy Pickett was wonderful as Jackie Marler. I love the idea of Alan being the narrator but in the soap-opera-of-my-mind(soomm) he's really not dead. You could bring back Phillip's full sister Samantha too, although she's not a Spaulding.


Soomm to be continued indefinitely!

Can we bring back Kelly (Jon WEsley Shipp) and pretend he's married to Samantha...That would be great.    He was one of my favorites back in the day.
