RIP GL

From the Wall Street Journal.

At a "Guiding Light" costume sale this summer, cast members could purchase the clothes they wore on the show. Elizabeth Keifer, who has played redheaded vixen Blake Marler since 1992, bought the sparkly, gun-metal silver wedding dress she married her mother's boyfriend Ross Marler in 15 years ago, before she gave birth to twins by different fathers. (The DNA Diagnostics Center in Fairfield, Ohio, says the condition, known as heteropaternal superfecundation, is possible. The center periodically receives calls from soap opera writers asking this question, a spokesman says.)

I remember that wedding...one of the last highlights of GL before I quit watching. The break-up of Roger & Holly was the nail in the coffin. But of course, I remember the Josh & Reva saga, Sonni/Solita, Harley & Mallet, Dylan & Bridget & baby Peter, the four Musketeers, Lujack, Ed & Maureen, Little Billy and Michelle, David's trial and Kat and Gilly & Hamp, the blackout, and everything from circa 1993. Bye GL.
