Guiding Light: Character Profiler - Annie Dutton

[Messylin]

Josh and Reva are to blame for Annie's crimes. They made her do it.

I LOVED the Annie character. I wanted to see her get rid of Reva. Cynthia Watros was the best actress next to Tammy Blanchard Guiding Light had , Signey Coleman was a great actress too. I believe she was married to Vincent Irizarry at the time, I think that's why she was in New York, because before she played Victor Newman's wife, the blind woman who's name I cannot remember.

I loved the Annie Dutton character she was so devious and Cynthia Watros was wonderful playing the part!!

Annie was my favorite character - I especially loved when she was drunk.

Cynthia Watros was so fun to watch.

Great video! I loved Annie Dutton once she turned bad! She started out as a ho-hum character and after they decided to turn her from alcoholic to devious, she was just magic to watch on screen. Cynthia Watros earned her Emmy for this role. (The replacement Annie I felt was miscast and did not inhabit the role as Cynthia did). I keep hoping to see CW make it big onscreen.

I actually NEVER EVER blamed Annie. Sure she did crappy things...but Josh pretty much threw her away like trash! I always wanted to just hug Annie and tell her it would be ok. I really wish that I could find DVDs of GL with all the Annie Storylines.

great video. annie protrayed by Cynthia Watrous was the best thing about GL during these years. It was a horrible mistake with their recasted Annie. She did not half the talent of CW. She basically turned bad after Reva came back and Josh wanted Reva back..blah blah. I am the one out a million who didn't like Reva and wish she would have left. Wish they would have kept Annie and got rid of Reva

What an awesome video!!! Thanks!!!

[HyperKandie]

CW is the best ever!

Cynthia Watros was excellent in this role. The one mistake they made with the character was trying to bring her back with another actress - didn't work.

[sammysmom2010]

She was the best I hated that she left the show Cynthia was an amazing actress.

[helenlawson]

What a cool vid and a reminder of one of the most memorable soap characters ever. Cynthis Watrous was FANTASTICK. Thanks!

I also love the second and third instrumentals, the third one sounds like a French or Romanian (maybe even Irish) folk song so that's appreciated. It's so amazing when Harley falls back and you know Annie just wouldn't catch her and Annie's replies are out of this world. Reva: "you screwed with me one too many times" and she says "What are u talking about???" or "don't listen to this woman, this woman is crazy." I actually have a clipping of Annie in orange sweater tending to Alan in wheelchair.

[jezzfan33]

I came home. This video really makes me feel like I'm home, it reminds me of who I am or maybe just who I used to be. I love when Jenna says "sister loves you" and Harley's reply is just priceless. I also love the scenes of Annie before Hart's country-style party where she was dancing with Dinah. The end song was so appropriate-it started with Josh and then when the words went to something like "you deserve better" it changed to Alan because he really was better. I always favored her over Reva.

Spauldinfield, you are awesome! Love your videos. Annie was the bomb! I so miss GL!! Especially the "good ole days". Thank you for your hard work on these videos.

She never totally gave up her goodness. She saved Abby from the fire and the kids from Holly when she was the NRS & Annie could have escaped free & clear if she hadn't done that. She never gets credit for that & no one not Josh, not Marah, or Shayne admit that they loved her. I love you clips that start small & jump bigger & the image of Annie going through all the colors was really fitting.

[jezzfan33]

@Robansuefarm What a great point! Most people don't recall that or just choose to block it out. Yes, I also agree about the image colors, etc.

[Robansuefarm]

I liked the last time Reva thought Annie was after her, but she really was too far gone that time and was happily living in a mental institution thinking she was married to Josh. Josh never should have married her after he knew Reva was alive, that really was cruel & Phillip who was her best friend betrayed her for the sake of a girl. I wish Annie & Reva really had been sisters it would have been just desserts.

[Robansuefarm]

Annie went crazy, but Jeva drove her to it. My favorite Annie-Josh story was when "ghost" Reva haunted them at Cross Creek. She really needed psychological help from this whole Reva "pushed" her down the stairs ploy on. Harley really should have felt bad about lying to Annie. Most of the revenge Jeva deserved. I didn't like how they made Alan all about Annie though because Alan was really always all about Hope. I liked that Alan knew Annie by her kiss. He could give a few other soap men lessons.

I loved good Annie and remember thinking how bad it was they were making her bad. Then I realized bad Annie was a thousand times better. It was so awesome to tune in and see what crazy thing she'd do next.

[garyinpennsylvania]

Love, love, loved it!!! The Annie years were some of the best!!!!!

This was amazing!!! Annie is what got me hooked on Guiding Light. She's definitely one of my favorite characters ever. And Cynthia Watros was just perfect, she made you feel compassion for Annie even when she was doing crazy things.

[karygirl82isback]

OMG tnak you SO MUCH for this!!!

I was only a teenager while watching all this but I still remember Annie very well!! One of the best "Guiding Lights" character ever!
