CLASSIC GL PHOTOS OF THE DAY: The 1970s


The We Love Soaps photo tribute to GUIDING LIGHT continues with a look at some the highlights from the 1970s. In the photo above, Mart Hulswit's Ed and Lenore Kasdorf's Rita made one of the most memorable pairings in the show's history (and my personal favorite of all of Ed's relationships).


In the photo above is Theo Goetz (Papa) and Elissa Leeds (Hope). Leeds played Hope Bauer on ANOTHER WORLD when Hope and Mike crossed over for a while (which was unusual because AW aired on NBC). Leeds went on to play the original Brooke English on ALL MY CHILDREN among other roles.


As noted in a previous post about Roger Thorpe, Michael Zaslow's Roger and Maureen Garrett's Holly were one of the most dynamic and fasinating pairings ever on daytime.


In the late 1970s, Jackie and Elizabeth were at the center of much of the story including romances with Justin, Mike and Alan. Pictured are Tom O'Rourke (Justin), Lezlie Dalton (Elizabeth), Cindy Pickett (Jackie) and Don Stewart (Mike).
