Guiding Light - Alan says goodbye to Phillip - 4/26/84

in today's world of tv "news" that station would be on for two hours taking about a major weather catastrophe that might not even happen. Well at least that's how it goes down here in cincinnati

Damn, that's some state of the art weather forecasting equipment!

In retrospect WHAT foreshadowing!!!!! "Your son may stand there not able to look you in the eye...not liking who you are," etc..... Flashforward to James. Also the power comment foreshadowing Phil's dark side taking over Spaulding and losing Chelsea. The theme of doing what was best versus being truthful.GREAT historical core scene. SOOOO love CB's Alan. SOOOO loved the writing.

I remember Chris Bernau when he was on Dark Shadows. He was the best Alan.

the tape is in great shape, too...others from 1984 are in bad quality. i like seeing Chris Bernau as well...which makes me wonder if the uploader has the episode where Alan's being shot at in the San Rios jungle. From the show's time-line/history, it indicates that Alan fled Springfield in early 1984 and went to San Rios and disappeared in the jungle and everyone in Springfield assumed he was dead.

I love these old scenes with Chris and Grant...they had a great chemistry.
