Bette Davis watched these episodes and commented that Lisa Brown was an amazing actress. Lisa gives an Oscar worthy performance. We will never see this kind of acting on soaps again

OOOOOOH I HATE THAT NAAAAME!!!

Hahaha.

@Joanfan29 You're damn right about that. You won't see writing like this anymore either. 1980-86 or so GL was fantastic--its true golden years.

Amazing stuff. And the coolest part is these scenes were some of the first to be shot after the writers strike. Douglas Marland was literally feeding them lines as they went along, totally on the fly.

DUH! Yes she COULD have morning sickness! I am in Early Childhood education and YES a woman can experience morning sickness about the first month on DUMBASS writers!

@schuyler10

Actually, the actor that played Kelly (Jon Wesley? I think that's has real name) did reappear for a brief moment (a special episode) with Lisa Brown for the show's 45th anniversary special back in 1987.

I can remember that Doug Marland never really had Nola and Kelly in another scene as powerful as this again...Nola moved to Thornway Road to work for Quinton McCord, and Kelly and Morgan got married...the three would run into each other sometimes, but hardly spoke.

I don't think that Morgan ever confronted Nola about her deception, either. The show went overboard on redeeming Nola's character...I remember Nola twisted the story about her baby's conception to Josh Lewis...

[schuyler10]

After Morgan divorced Kelly and left town to further her modeling career,  Kelly started dating Dr. Claire Ramsey. They lived together in the garage apartment over Ed Bauer's house (which, back then, was right next door to Alan Spaulding's house)...Kelly left Springfield, very quietly on some kind of medical mission (1983-84)...never to be mentioned again...

Lisa Brown was a great actress, and Nola a great character. She had another major storyline after this one, then a new writer named Pamela Long Hammer made everything "The Reva Shayne Show". Nola fell in disuse after that.

These clips are fantastic. I started watching Guiding Light right around the time that Nola was trying to trap Kelly into marriage. They were both so fantastic in this storyline. I love the fact that they made Nola such a great character because I absolutely loved her with Quinton. Shame that Kelly and Morgan did not work out. How did Kelly leave the show because I don't remember.

[Sheri451]

OH YES SHE could experience Morning Sickness! My niece puked every morning and every night from her first month till her fourth month asshole!

Marsha began as Hillary in 1977, not '79.
