Nat and Olivia still seem like two very close friends. Apart from the eye contacts, and touching each others face occasionally, I dont see any intemacy between the them. Did they ever even had sex? BFFs not a couple
What is the song at the end of Remy & Christina Wedding and Olivia & Nat sitting at the park bench talking, sounds like Gabriel Mann but not sure cant find it anywhere HELP
just needed to tell you how gratefull I am for the hours of otalia clips, coz I enjoyed it so much plus the get together between Blake and Frank
actually I could watch "Springfield Story" in my country only 20 years ago, so I was out of any clue and you made this awsome fanclips, which gave me so much joy
I'd never thought that soapdrama actors could be that lovely, sympathic and adorable to watch. you and they gave me that wonderful knowlege and I thank you so much for that. greetings from C8
CC and JL not only bring eye sex and hand sex to a whole new level... they bring just touching each other and stroking hair to a whole new level... its amazing what you can do when are told you cant kiss, to still get the point across that they where madly in love with each other..I miss them so much...
hi Figaro first season only 72 mins long that sucks lol i dont do dollars so ill av to work that out in £'s but then ill av to find a site that lets us in the uk watch cos some say only aloud in the usa :( x
hi thanx Figaro00 for that but its only like 6.05mins long is that it??????? dont get me wrong its a good scene n yay finally get to see otlaia kiss! x
Hey Suz! I just looked into it and it seems that all 12 episodes in season 1 are only 6 minutes! That means the entire season is just a little over 72 minutes! I still think its worth the $10 dollars though!
I think all the seasons are going to be 12 episodes long although hoping they will be at least a few mins later.. she is going to do like four seasons in a year.. although it was worth the ten dollars to see them finally kiss.. i hear the scene between Ani aka Jessica and her new love interest is going to be better than the one we waited so long for.. i dont think Gina and Ani are going to end up together at the end of this season.. but hopefully next season..missing Otalia..
ok so ive jus watchedall these in 2 days jsu to find out there are no more :( im gonna miss them...........does anyone know wen the venice series is startin???????
@sunshineandfriends Um... not convinced it's Remy's kid if you're talking about the scene i think you are... I think that Marina is holding Henry and Shane is holding Reva's son (his brother) Colin.
Hey guys, if you want to see how much of an International Impact Guiding Light has had, go to bollywoodbhakti or go to this clip:
Longest running serial in India CID wid producer B.P. Singh and dr. Praveen Tiwari Part 1. They compare GL to their own Soap in India that's also been on the air for a long time. You won't understand what they are saying because they are speaking Hindu but it's very interesting.
@rhyfeddu Keep in mind that Blake & Frank have known each other since 1989, and Frank Dicopoulos has worked with Three Of The Four Blakes, Elizabeth Denehy, Sherry Stringfield, and of course Liz Keifer, they were Friends way before they became Lovers and I think that's why they will make it.
can you tell me wath is all that about venice?i dont know is guiding ligth ending aswell,could you explain what is going on,please?i really love these 2.....
@bubafest dont forget head butting.. and Olivia always wiping something off Natalia face and licking her fingers.. not complaining bout the finger licking...
I know that craks me up everytime. Natalia looked almost startled. She was gazing lovingly at Olivia and enjoying being with her then Olivia brings up Frank and she looks at her like thanks for ruining our moment by bringing him up.
I read the comments on the last week or so before watching to see if we got a kiss, but nope, so I didn't bother watching. People in love kiss, and if they couldn't give us that then they really never went that extra step. At least AMC did it right, hell they didn't even have to worry about ratings, or losing their audience. BOO GL! Not going to miss you.
I know that we as Otalia fans will move all together to the next level. The anticipation is beyond belief . I truly applaud the energy and passion that Crystal Chappell is bringing to Venice. She wants to make her fans happy that is what a true actor does.
These ladies are really going to give us what we have been waiting for with Venice...new characters, we are just going to have to get used to that . Seeing them finally kiss, we can exhale!!!
The story of Olivia and Natalia should have ended with a kiss but I'm glad it ended on a happy note. I can't help but think how thoroughly they would have screwed up the most wonderful love story ever on a soap had GL not been canceled. I'm sure some conservative, repressed, 1950's dwelling jerkwad would have demanded that, as in all other soaps, Otalia have a horrible break up and each start having bad relationships with man after man after man after...you get the point.
Oh yes, Jessica Leccia as Natalia is a sweet looking person and she looked so cute indeed no wonder these ladies fell for each other ...Venice come hither!!!
So, after Friday I was expecting this... this... the end. I knew I would be prepared on Monday, and bothered to make myself busy at 10:00am with something else. But ahhhh.... today. Tuesday, no GL, no Otalia. It really hit home. Now that the grieving steps are taking their place, just wanted to thank you!! "Otaliafan" other channels out there that have placed so much effort in creating a community where we can see our ladies and share our thoughts. Venice C'Mon down! Ciao Bellas!
Isn't it funny, Doris was able to get Ashlee into Berkeley but Carmela Soprano couldn't get Jeannie Cusomano's sister Joannie to get Meadow into Berkeley not that she wanted to go anyhow.
i know soo many ppl are upset beacause there was no kiss, but i am satisfied how the story ended. Just as long as our girls are together. Thank you Venice. i can not wait even tho i am going to miss GL ssooo soooo much.
I think that what they should have done is have Frank Dicopoulos who is the longest male cast member debuting in 1987 saying something like:
"We the people at Guiding Light thank you for 72 Years of loyalty and TV Viewing, for so many of us, it wasn't just a job, it was an extended Family so from our Family to yours, thank you so much for watching."
im so fucking mad right now,i thought i will see a big juicy kiss between otalia since this was the fucking last episode....that was the only real reason y i kept watching this low budget show...wat a waste of my time..
I haven't commented these last days. But watching again I had to say... so cute how Natalia doesn't think of Frank at all... she has her mind so full of Olivia... and she's doesn't really care about Frank but she's willing to follow whatever Olivia has in mind, just because. She says "maybe this day will go realy well for him "like meaning "he'll be fine.. don't worry 'bout him"... ha, ha... she's so happy to be with Oliva nothing can bother her...
This is so true. Natalia almost does a double take when Frank is mentioned. I noticed Natalia's complete focus on Olivia here as well as the scene where Blake asks her not to push Frank out of the baby's life. Natalia wants Frank involved for the baby's sake but she is totally devoted to Olivia, and creating a family with O, Emma, the baby, and herself.
I just want to say I loved Otalia and loved CC and JL. I don't think any other actresses could have pulled off this beautiful love story as well. They brought true emotion to this story and I will miss Otalia. Thank you Otaliafan for all the videos I wouldn't have been able to watch them otherwise and I hope u keep up the videos. I can't wait to see Venice and I loved the happy ending for Otalia.
Hey laminage, they really did do alot of adlibbing. That's cool by me. Did you hear about CC's friend Cathie?? She was her fan club president and passed away last week of complications from the H1N1. Everybody send CC some love!!
Naming the baby Francesca - whatever. But I thought it was odd Frank was going to the baby designer with O&N. The girls needed a technical adviser in the handholding department.
Seriously was hoping they would name the baby Spencer but hoping that her last name is...hee hee...also love the hand rubbing that jl does with cc's hand...so sweet
It was a good ride! Full of angst and tension and laughter and surprises. It was, in the end - a love story. Would I have like to see a kiss - hell yes - but in the end (save for that kiss) it portrayed O and N as a "normal" couple ( as normal as a soap couple can be!), and the mindset of older straight fans towards gay people changed even if in some small way - leaning towards acceptance. THAT's why the story was so important. So thank you GL - I'll always remember Otalia.
Loved the staring into each other's eyes, the sexy hand holding, and the way Olivia said she got everything she ever wanted, which I definitely took to mean "sharing ALL the things people in love share" I am happy to imagine the rest, and I am equally happy to imagine them living out the rest of their lives together, with a love that continues always and grows more fulfilling, until death do them part. That is "happily ever after" to me. A good place to say good-bye. And Hello, Venice!
Well Otaliafan,I will say Thank You for bringing us our muse! These incredible clips influenced a vast range of creativity in people around the world!
I will miss Otalia,GL,all the fun characters on Otaliafan board,their names and comments.
The near heart attacks,and anticipation of a kiss that I knew would kill me!
The eyes,the lips,the dimples,the scoots.Peanut butter,cookies,imaginary food.Finger sucking,forehead touching.Green steps,Fol.
Tired eyeballs,late for work,pure addiction..love!
well my dear straybarney, I agree with what you saying, but all good things must come to an end:( anyway, we still have VENICE!!!! and we gonna see the eyes, eyes and more eyes lol.
Thank you from me, too. I love the happy ending and the acceptance of their community. The Godess and Dimples will stay with me as a exciting and wonderful journey. Thank you to the writers and every one who made this s/l possible.
Love & Gratitude to Otaliafan and all the other otalia channels!
thanks otaliafan - am in ireland, where the otalia phenomenon has only been available on youtube. it's been great, notwithstanding the nonexistent kiss(es). guess otalia is only acceptable if the physical side is hidden...surprise surprise
i was over GL awhile ago. its sos ridiculous that the entire town get to kiss and show affection but not otalia. also they showed buzz smoking in the cemetary, now that they can show, but no kiss between 2 people who r committed and in love
Everybody ended up happilly ever after. Alan too, because he ended not being so bitter at his end. Well, no Otalia kiss....surprise, surprise. We will get our fix for KISSING soon, and that is a guarantee. Venice bound we are.
Thanks Otaliafan for all your work - I'm in Australia and have been watching it before I go to work at 8am! Now I'll have time to walk the dog! Lucky for GL Frank and Blake didn't kiss!!!
Thank you so much Otaliafan for bringing this s/l to YouTube, I'm usually not able to watch GL on TV so if not for you, I would not have been able to watch Otalia :)
I also have to send a special thanks to BiancaReese for pointing to your channel :) I had stopped watching GL a few years ago and had no idea about the 'awesomeness' that is Otalia :)
And isn't CC just amazing for going ahead w/ the Venice series, gotta love her, JL too :)
Thank you so much Otaliafan for all the work you have done all this time, so I could enjoy watching the Otalia s/l from the other side of the world. There's now a big hole left in me.
Thank you so much Otaliafan for posting all of these wonderful memories. Whenever I want to think fondly of our dynamic duo I will go to your channel to watch some reruns.
I can't believe it's over. It seems a bit anticlimactic...
dunno, I wanted a kiss for Otalia, but I think their story ended respectfully, and I appreciate it, even sans kiss.
Now that Frank finally has a life, Otalia aren't his first priority. So when I dream up future episodes of GL where our girls are always the headliners, I will dream that Frank is not always barging in.
Wow. I can't believe it's over! I will be curious to see how the final episode rated. Even my retired father rushed home from running errands to tune it today (along with my mother). LOL
Thank you Otaliafan for all you have done. I'm from Brazil and I wouldn't have been given this chance of watching and loving Otalia s/l if there weren't people like you.
Thanks for all of this Otaliafan... the clips, the interviews, BPD... the start of this amazing community. You started all of this madness, and I'm glad you did! It's been one hell of a ride.
Couldn't have said it any better, favauntie. I don't wear hats so I'll raise my glass of Goose. Thank you CC, JL, Guiding Light, and Otaliafan. Cheers! ...and Viva Otalia!
Atlanta Georgia 9:20 pm... i am crying ..cause i am gonna miss them but this has been so intense and good.. that have been so worthyl......oh yesssssssssss
JUst for the record.... I am drinking my Baylys like i have always done during the most intense and overwelming episodes ... And surprise I am doing it now... Crystal ... I love you with all my heart ..anything that i can do to make you successful i will do it...going to twitter, protest... signing petitions...name it, ( yes i am that into all this) .. JL all my love and respect... My dear friends in the internet ..sorry that i could have not met anybody yet in person but i hope i will..
THankyyou Otaliafan! YOu saved my day many x's. In the grieving process I am at stunned, I will arrive at mad, bargain, acceptance when Venice begins. Glad to see them 2gather/Happy/Accepted/bright future. Thank you GL.
OK! now i ask that on other channel but no response, what is that special event for the fans on tomorow (sept. 19th) even CC mentionned it but what, when, and where (is it on TV )
Thank you Otaliafan for loving Otalia...as rushed as the Otalia clips may seem to be today, I feel very lucky to have enjoyed the entire episode today and cried every step of the way...I'm not guilty that I never joined the " I hate the NO kiss and pregnancy plot". I've enjoyed the Otalia story so much it breaks my heart to see it end, I love that Olivia is happy with the love of her life and that a year later they are happy....GL gave me Otalia and I'm greatful.
- Frank/Blake : I was waiting for those 2 to finally be together, and yes, I like Frank
- Josh/Reva : what a long story of undying love
and that picnic, one year later.
there may have not been a kiss, but what I saw is a same-sex couple accepted by its community, a recomposed family with 2 mummies, accepted all the same, mayor Wolfe radiating and certainly going on with her emotional and sexual life...
That is funny Trixee39, Francesca has her three hot mommies and Frank. Maybe she will get to do a presentation like our cute little Emma did with a slightly different title!!!!
You know we all went through this crazy journey and we did make friends so I am just glad for that experience. Are we ready for Venice? Oooooh yeaahh!! We are gonna have a new hang out...right??
I really don't know about this ending somethings missing ? just Happy Olivia & Natalia were together at the end. poor Jeffery they cast him away on NO mans land he never returned to reva. josh got the woman..
Sigh. Can't say how deeply disappointing is this half-baked Otalia ending. So obviously discriminating and sickening to see everyone had some kissing business going on except for Otalia. Its only natural they should be kissing now especially that they are together. It sickens me to no end to see this harshly rushed ending. So disappointed. Feel so let down. Sometimes I wonder if the writers/CBS misled invested fans to expect something and then *slap* I'm gonna rub shit in your face. So sad.
estefanec- I went through all those emotions you're experiencing. It's hard to imagine at this point in history that a beautifully developed love story between two people,that happen to be women, could be so blatantly censored. I cringed everytime other characters kissed or our girls kissed other people.
The silver lining is that it inspired CC to create her own web series that will carry on in spirit what derailed so badly on GL. The characters will be different, but it's still CC & JL!
:) you couldn't have put it better in words that I did - exactly my sentiments. Never actually viewed it as a "*gasp lesbians*" kinda of thing. It was just such a beautiful enveloping love story. Its just so, so sad and unbelievable, to see it being butchered the way it did. Its just too blatant. Haven't gotten over it yet.
estefanec- I'm still trying to get over it too. The feelings of outrage and injustice are overlayed with this awful flood of personal hurt. Like someone you cared about let you down.
Hang in there. Raise your brimming martini glass (don't spare the olives),toast the wild ride that was Otalia, take a big drink and remember we still have our community and we're moving to Venice!
Oh and I would also like to add the fact that I flipped off a lets make a deal commercial earlier today. If I wanted to see wayne brady for an hour a day i'd read harriet beacher stowe. Just sayin.
Well it's over I actually got emotional watching today. But did I miss something they never explained what happend to Jeffery. But that scene of the girls just staring at each other was pure love. I enjoyed it. And I thought that line from frank about changing the diaper despite the fact the kid has two mommies was kind of cute lol. It was funny though how when Liv asked him and blake if they were a couple and blake said they met online Otalia actually had judgement on their faces funny as hell.
At least someone liked it. I think that scene made it even more painfully obvious that there's a kiss lacking. I'd prefer them just being too busy to be romantic than to be romantic in such a sterile way.
so did i get that right that jeffrey is alive? is he still married to reva? then why is reva going back to josh? i thought, jeffrey was the love of her life....
22ophelia- As a 25 year loyal fan of GL, I can tell you that Jeffrey is most definitely not the love of Reva's life. Reva and Josh have been the star-crossed supercouple of GL since I started watching this show. They have loved each other since they were teenagers and "always" has forever been their term to describe their love. This show absolutely had to end with them back together! So glad they had a happy ending, and so glad Otalia had their happy ending!
Thank you for all the posting, it's sad everything as ended. The show will continue in a different light on Venice. Hope to see you posting something for them. Again Thank You So Much!!!
5:01 - "yeah" ... and that's all it takes for me to crumble and melt. how does she do that?!?

They brought true emotion to this story and I will miss Otalia. Thank you Otaliafan for all the videos I wouldn't have been able to watch them otherwise and I hope u keep up the videos. I can't wait to see Venice and I loved the happy ending for Otalia.

Hey laminage, they really did do alot of adlibbing. That's cool by me. Did you hear about CC's friend Cathie?? She was her fan club president and passed away last week of complications from the H1N1. Everybody send CC some love!!

Naming the baby Francesca - whatever. But I thought it was odd Frank was going to the baby designer with O&N. The girls needed a technical adviser in the handholding department.

foxyd1973 2 years ago
It was a good ride! Full of angst and tension and laughter and surprises. It was, in the end - a love story. Would I have like to see a kiss - hell yes - but in the end (save for that kiss) it portrayed O and N as a "normal" couple ( as normal as a soap couple can be!), and the mindset of older straight fans towards gay people changed even if in some small way - leaning towards acceptance. THAT's why the story was so important. So thank you GL - I'll always remember Otalia.

Loved the staring into each other's eyes, the sexy hand holding, and the way Olivia said she got everything she ever wanted, which I definitely took to mean "sharing ALL the things people in love share" I am happy to imagine the rest, and I am equally happy to imagine them living out the rest of their lives together, with a love that continues always and grows more fulfilling, until death do them part. That is "happily ever after" to me. A good place to say good-bye. And Hello, Venice!

Well Otaliafan,I will say Thank You for bringing us our muse! These incredible clips influenced a vast range of creativity in people around the world!
I will miss Otalia,GL,all the fun characters on Otaliafan board,their names and comments.
The near heart attacks,and anticipation of a kiss that I knew would kill me!
The eyes,the lips,the dimples,the scoots.Peanut butter,cookies,imaginary food.Finger sucking,forehead touching.Green steps,Fol.
Tired eyeballs,late for work,pure addiction..love!

Thank you so much Otaliafan for bringing this s/l to YouTube, I'm usually not able to watch GL on TV so if not for you, I would not have been able to watch Otalia :)
I also have to send a special thanks to BiancaReese for pointing to your channel :) I had stopped watching GL a few years ago and had no idea about the 'awesomeness' that is Otalia :)
And isn't CC just amazing for going ahead w/ the Venice series, gotta love her, JL too :)

Much love to the GL crew, no GL FAMILY.
Love from Holland.

Thank you so much Otaliafan for posting all of these wonderful memories. Whenever I want to think fondly of our dynamic duo I will go to your channel to watch some reruns.
I can't believe it's over. It seems a bit anticlimactic...
dunno, I wanted a kiss for Otalia, but I think their story ended respectfully, and I appreciate it, even sans kiss.
:D

Now that Frank finally has a life, Otalia aren't his first priority. So when I dream up future episodes of GL where our girls are always the headliners, I will dream that Frank is not always barging in.

Lol, love how Nat is all "Huh?What?" when Liv mentions Frank's name.
Our sentiments exactly.^^
And do notice that we have progressed to advanced handholding at the table.
Make out handholing.
And I am saying this without spite.That's the kind of movie theater handholding when you can't wait for the movie to be over.
Oh, bad choice of words.
Good night peeps, hugs!

Thank you Otaliafan for loving Otalia...as rushed as the Otalia clips may seem to be today, I feel very lucky to have enjoyed the entire episode today and cried every step of the way...I'm not guilty that I never joined the " I hate the NO kiss and pregnancy plot". I've enjoyed the Otalia story so much it breaks my heart to see it end, I love that Olivia is happy with the love of her life and that a year later they are happy....GL gave me Otalia and I'm greatful.

so many things I love from tonight's final ep :
- the Remy/Christina wedding : so funny (especially Doris)
- Reva/Olivia : the wildest ladies in town, overwhelmed by emotion, and that respect, after all this time
- Ashley/Doris : a beautiful story arc
- Philip : so sad and so at peace at the same time
- our girls, together, completely in love, lost in each others eyes, whose only aim and pleasure and will is to spend every minute together
dantzig75 2 years ago
- Frank/Blake : I was waiting for those 2 to finally be together, and yes, I like Frank
- Josh/Reva : what a long story of undying love
and that picnic, one year later.
there may have not been a kiss, but what I saw is a same-sex couple accepted by its community, a recomposed family with 2 mummies, accepted all the same, mayor Wolfe radiating and certainly going on with her emotional and sexual life...
that's more than most TV shows let us be....
dantzig75 2 years ago
oh I forgot :
- Marina/Shayne : you could see it coming slowly; if only CBS had give them more time, would have been nice to see this blossom.
- Dinah/Mallet : I LOVE IT , I love them interacting together, really...
ok, now I'm done ;)

trisher22 2 years ago
Sigh. Can't say how deeply disappointing is this half-baked Otalia ending. So obviously discriminating and sickening to see everyone had some kissing business going on except for Otalia. Its only natural they should be kissing now especially that they are together. It sickens me to no end to see this harshly rushed ending. So disappointed. Feel so let down. Sometimes I wonder if the writers/CBS misled invested fans to expect something and then *slap* I'm gonna rub shit in your face. So sad.
estefanec 2 years ago 21
estefanec- I went through all those emotions you're experiencing. It's hard to imagine at this point in history that a beautifully developed love story between two people,that happen to be women, could be so blatantly censored. I cringed everytime other characters kissed or our girls kissed other people.
The silver lining is that it inspired CC to create her own web series that will carry on in spirit what derailed so badly on GL. The characters will be different, but it's still CC & JL!
carolm007 2 years ago 11
:) you couldn't have put it better in words that I did - exactly my sentiments. Never actually viewed it as a "*gasp lesbians*" kinda of thing. It was just such a beautiful enveloping love story. Its just so, so sad and unbelievable, to see it being butchered the way it did. Its just too blatant. Haven't gotten over it yet.
estefanec 2 years ago 2
estefanec- I'm still trying to get over it too. The feelings of outrage and injustice are overlayed with this awful flood of personal hurt. Like someone you cared about let you down.
Hang in there. Raise your brimming martini glass (don't spare the olives),toast the wild ride that was Otalia, take a big drink and remember we still have our community and we're moving to Venice!

Well it's over I actually got emotional watching today. But did I miss something they never explained what happend to Jeffery. But that scene of the girls just staring at each other was pure love. I enjoyed it. And I thought that line from frank about changing the diaper despite the fact the kid has two mommies was kind of cute lol. It was funny though how when Liv asked him and blake if they were a couple and blake said they met online Otalia actually had judgement on their faces funny as hell.

At least someone liked it. I think that scene made it even more painfully obvious that there's a kiss lacking. I'd prefer them just being too busy to be romantic than to be romantic in such a sterile way.

22ophelia 2 years ago
22ophelia- As a 25 year loyal fan of GL, I can tell you that Jeffrey is most definitely not the love of Reva's life. Reva and Josh have been the star-crossed supercouple of GL since I started watching this show. They have loved each other since they were teenagers and "always" has forever been their term to describe their love. This show absolutely had to end with them back together! So glad they had a happy ending, and so glad Otalia had their happy ending!
