Olivia actually smiled and said, "Hey you" when Natalia came into the office. That's so good to see, it's been a long time.
Ha, the way Natalia said, "Yep" she is so frustrated with Olivia holding back. Then she throws her hip out and leans down and puts her hands on Olivia's desk and slides her head to the side and says, "Since when do you do slow?" Ha! Now that Natalia has been given an inch she's pushing in earnest for the entire marathon. She knows now that Olivia is past most of the hurt and that now it's really more about her pride. Natalia can push a lot harder when it's pride. Aawww, Olivia leaning toward Natalia when she clasps their hands together, then tilting her face up to look at her is just so sweet!
Blank and Frank have coordinating shirts! I love that color.
Sarah is adorable, she reminds me of a tiny Bernadette Peters.
Seriously love this conversation between James and Phillip. They have come so far in just a couple of days. Amazing.
Aawww, Lizzie calling Alan a hero with her voice cracking.
Sarah and Johnathan playing while he's talking to Josh is great. They are so natural.
Aw, Blake wearing Ross's clothes after he died. I would sooo do that. I know I would.
Ivy Olivia would be a great baby name. I love that Natalia thought of the baby having Olivia's name, but Olivia doesn't really have the self esteem to not fight it. I'd like to see a scene where Natalia explains why Olivia would be a perfect name for their baby. Olivia would turn to mush and consequently so would I. :) That scene was just too much cuteness, there is not a lot more to say, just that it's too cute, and sweet.
Phillip just basically asked Bill Lewis to be the head of the Spaulding family. And all of the epic rivalries in the 80s and 90s are gone. Wow!
Alex is so scared and Olivia's trying to be comforting and talking to her. They are fun together in their awkwardness. :)
Edmund has all of Springfield under video surveillance? That's more than a little creepy!
Um, why would you hear a car pull up, stand up, wonder who it was and NOT go to the door? It's not like there is a possibility that the car is there for the neighbors. Reva might still be a little crazy. :D
Josh and Olivia scene! That is all. Nothing but awesomeness ever with these two! Love them!
Aw, Alex is so uncomfortable with the idea that Alan might not make it through the surgery. She just got her brother back with him meeting Gerald's family and dealing with that, and now she's in danger of losing him again.
Phillip and Beth! Wow! Beth and Grant did an amazing job yet again. And him whispering, "I love you" as the rolled him away was just...wow.
Beth and Lillian! So powerful!
Baby names! Natalia is not impressed with Frank's ideas. I love Olivia coming in all happy and saying, "What letter are we up to?" It's funny that Frank never really noticed before that he's invisible when Olivia and Natalia are in the same room together. He's sure feeling it now though. But, with where Olivia is now, she's confident and a little bit territorial, she'll step up to the challenge if Frank decides to fight. She might not have felt it was her place a couple of days ago, but she knows it's her place now.
Natalia and Olivia scene! So much cuteness again. I love how Natalia is done. Just like she was "So done with waiting." at the gazebo during Emma's service project. "Oh my god. Screw time and space." and Olivia's "Ooo." When Natalia was saying, "yes you can" "say yes" and Olivia was saying, "no" it was like their conversation on 01/27/09 when Olivia was saying, "You can't spend your whole time worrying about what's gonna go wrong." and Natalia was saying, "no I don't" and Olivia was saying, "yes you do" It was so cute back then, and it was very cute now with the roles reversed. Really, brilliant writers I have to say. :)
I love how after Frank comes back to the table that Natalia still has to look back at Olivia, like she can't believe she actually got her to move back in.

Guiding Light airdate September 2, 2009
The scene at Company, that must have been some really good food! Ha, that poor extra, sitting at the bar between Frank and Blake and Josh and Buzz while they were having a 'conversation,' having to pretend like nothing was going on. Yeah, I'd be pretty enthralled with the prop food too. They were practically yelling over her head to each other. Too funny!
Johnathan and Jeffrey scene 1. I love Johnathan's sense of humour. "Hey, dead man!" Then in response to Jeffrey's questions, "How's your mom? How's Colin? Any sign of Edmund?" He says, "Whacked. Cute. None." Perfect!
Alex and Alan playing Frisbee in the study!!!! Seriously, you're never going to see something like that anywhere else. Certainly not in characters that are stereotypical of those in the social and business standing of the Spauldings, but that's the essence of Guiding Light isn't it? It's what it's always been. A periscope of sorts showing people of all status as the flawed, not so different humans that they really are. A social statement all it's own without shouting "Hey we're making a social statement here. Listen up!" A gentle reminder, or an eye-opening realization that although circumstances may be more outlandish, everybody essentially has the same problems. The Spauldings and the Coopers, the Reardons and the Bauers, the Marlers and the Lewises all have the same problems once you get past the money and the places in society. Nobody has life figured out, and nobody is the-only-one dealing with anything. Alex and Alan Spaulding can play Frisbee in the study at the mansion, and Buzz Cooper can struggle with the regret of not having seen his son grow up. It's really a simple and intricate statement at the same time.
Shayne and Marina telling Josh about Henry being Baby Shara, and that he's a grandfather. So sweet. I love that Josh gets to have this. Meeting his grandson. So great. :)
Reva and Alan scene at the mini-mart. The clerk in the back, who's watching Baby Band Candy while Reva shops, is killing me with the big exaggerated baby faces.
Phillip telling Beth about his illness. Oh my goodness! Beth Chamberlin absolutely took a hold of this scene and made it everything that it was. She and Grant are amazing! The way she goes from shocked disbelief to hurt to sad needful breaking down in mere seconds is just, breathtaking and gut wrenching and I'm so glad that Grant played Phillip as the comforter knowing that it was hard for Beth to hear the news. Grant and Beth have always been so good together and seeing them play Phillip and Beth again is a gift. From the first day the characters saw each other again (the day of Coop's accident, when Phillip so tenderly helped Beth out of her blood stained wedding dress) they have given us amazing scenes with each other, and this scene was another brilliant piece of art. Phillip's line, "I love you so much. I just didn't want you to be sad." While Beth is clinging to him as if terrified and believing that if she holds him tightly enough she can keep him here, keep him from dying, from leaving again. I don't think I have superlatives adequate to express how emotionally evocative this scene is.
Beautiful scene where the Spaulding family, including Bill and Rick are being told about Phillip's illness. First of all I absolutely love that Rick is there. We as an audience know that Rick is family, but so often programs forget that family isn't just your spouse and parents and kids. Including Rick was a great touch, and attention to detail. Lizzie's reaction was amazing, and spot on. I loved that she said, "Daddy?" as if asking him to make it better, to reassure her like he did when she was little. "I just got you back, and I don't wanna lose you" when only a few months ago she was terrified of him. Alex not knowing what to do to comfort Alan. James throwing things about in frustration. Also side note, that wall is a sliding door! Smart cookies those set designers. Still could have used a color other than Electric Pistachio, but the built-in versatility of the set, brilliant!
Daisy is the only Cooper not too shocked to ask questions about Shara. They included Cyrus in the family event. That makes me happy. To have the family of the mother he never knew, welcome and include him makes me happy for him.
Josh and Reva. Josh holding Colin and talking about Henry. Why is it that no-one has mentioned that Baby Band Candy has a nephew now in Shara. Also, I would like for Daisy to call him Uncle Colin at least once. :D
Phillip telling Bill that he was already doing what Phillip needed him to do by taking care of Lizzie was such a sweet thing. Alan offering to give a ride home to his family, it was so gentle and caring and not controlling at all. Another great example of character growth.
I'm going to miss this beautiful and brilliant show.
Johnathan and Jeffrey scene 1. I love Johnathan's sense of humour. "Hey, dead man!" Then in response to Jeffrey's questions, "How's your mom? How's Colin? Any sign of Edmund?" He says, "Whacked. Cute. None." Perfect!

Guiding Light airdate September 1, 2009
Shivaree! Oh, my goodness! They are just pulling out all of the old traditions with Billy and Vanessa aren't they.
Lizzie is right, it's a bad idea and one that had me dreading a wedding when I was a kid. (One too many viewings of 'Oklahoma!') Aaaww, Lizzie is so cute wanting her parents together. 'Cause they do belong together.
James and the cereal! He loves his cereal doesn't he?
Aw, Beth's face when she thinks Lillian is cheating on Buzz. Aaawww, so cute!!!! Love Tina and Beth in scenes together!
Alex! Heehee, she cleaned out the box of Apple Jacks! Marj is awesome and she and Grant are great together.
Reva and Vanessa and Reva realizing that Vanessa really does want her to be the Maid of Honor. Tears of joy and talk of the past. Deeply touching scene from Kim and Maeve!
Bizzie! Bill's all about telling peeps he and Lizzie are actively trying to have a baby. lol
Billy called Alan an old sourpuss! Ha!
Phillip and James. Wow, Phillip is trying so hard. He needs hugs!
Lizzie and Reva joking about matching, it's funny because they have the same hair color too, just that Reva's is shorter! Heeheehee.
Horseshoes! Whoa! That was an awesome shot, tossing them straight toward the camera! Excellent!
Lillian and Alan ... guh! subtle and emotional... wow Ron and Tina!
Alex is great today. I wonder if James spiked the cereal with something that gave her the munchies. :) James and Alex are going to play frisbee.
Beth is so speaking about Phillip and Olivia both. And she's right given what she knows, or doesn't know in this case.
Aw, more Lewis family together time. My friend has those wine glasses (also the matching shot glasses) I love Lizzie saying that she's always been a little scared of Vanessa and everyone agreed. Vanessa is such a proper person I can see where Reva and the Lewis' would feel a little intimidated. So much fun, this scene! I saw a younger 12 year old Bill at that table toasting his parents. Beautifully written, shot and acted scene all around.
Gosh! That had to have been emotionally hard to film considering that the end is getting closer.
Holy cow! Phillip and Alan .... ::tears:: Well done.
Lillian begging Ed to do something to save Phillip. It's so sweet and tragic and soapy and awesome.
I am going to miss this show so very very much!

Guiding Light airdate August 27, 2009
Lizzie chillin' in a lawn chair. I want to "take a seat" and "join in the nothingness" too Lizzie! Christina should not be THAT excited about 'caulking' something, she should chill with Lizzie.
Remy and Cyrus are in that same trailer/office that is Alan's office and that they've used for some of the BTS/interview clips on CBS.com.
Reva: I didn't know that people put marshmallow cream on a PB&J sandwich. That's an awful lot of sugar! You can do marshmallow cream (Fluffernutter) or jelly/jam/preserves/marmalade/curd (PB&J) but both (I have no name for that) is like getting a 50cc glucose shot right in the heart!
Okay, Christina and Lizzie need to step away from the power tools! (and the hand saw as well)
Blake all subtley signalling to Ashlee so they can talk privately. Cute! Very nicely done too, decidedly covert.
Buzz telleported to the NewPeaBosnian Outback!
I really really wish that Jessica Leccia did the Electrasol/Finish commercial voice over and not just the bumper for ad for the show.
Heehee Lizzie and Christina are giving the saw a little space, until it decided to cooperate!Loooove it!
Sympathy to Mandy Bruno, hard to walk in heels (even wedges and espadrilles) on mulch pathways.
Frank refers to Buzz as his "criminal chasing" father, um being a cop, isn't Frank a 'criminal chaser' too? Or at least he should be. Oh, that explains soooo much! Frank doesn't chase criminals.
Wow! Buzz and Cyrus, great scene! Awesome emotionally driven argument.
Aawww, Blake's voice got all shakey when she said, "after you lose your husband." Great job LizKeifer!
Ooo, Johnathan, nice call on the running with the bridge reference.
Cyrus talking about when they were kids, almost makes me like Grady. Also, they're all talking about him in the present tense, like he's not dead. Hmmm? :)
Frank popping up with commentary from the background is FUNNY.
Lizzie's voice all unsure and quiet when she's asking for a sandwich. Perfect. Love Marcy here.
I'm gonna miss Johnathan's little bit of sanity at Cross Creek.
Heehee, nobody can get a burger at Company because both Frank and Blake are on the laptops.
Shayne has nicer handwriting than Johnathan, but he also writes like Natalia and Marina. :D
