The Guiding Light August 1970

This is the scene where Lee Gantry has tried to kill his wife Dr. Sara McIntire in August 1970. Dr. Joe Werner, the late Ed Zimmerman, comes to her rescue. Joe fights with Gantry, played by Ray Fulmer of Hazel fame, and he falls to his death out the attic window. This is another request going out to someone.

Thank you for your generosity and time sharing the clips. If possible could you upload for us the entire episode here or if not more clips?

I would love to see longer clips from this era. Do you have any more? and, btw, where did you get this? Wasn't this pre-VCR?

Lee Gantry (in the yellow shirt) was played by Ray Fulmer who was also played Steve Baxter in the final season of Hazel with Shirley Booth.

@sb57fury1 You're right. I also hate The Talk or whatever it's called, NOW they're cancelling All My Children and One Life To Live, which is the very last soap opera still taped in New York. They moved AMC to California a few years ago.

@Sheri451 I hate lets make a deal also . CBS sucks for cancelling Guiding light

My Mom used to watch Guididng Light then, I see it still had prgan music back then. I didn't start watching it until May of 1981. Then I warched it faithfully until it was cancelled. I still miss watching my friends (That's what I thought of them as friends) every weekdat afternoon at 3PM, I HATE Lets Make A Deal.

I was only 10 years old at the time, but I remember this well.

@sneezyize That last bit of retro-rewrite that went no where, is really where the show showed to me that it had alot hacks writing for it and a production staff that also didn't care, and therefore that's when it went into being doomed in March 1997. (I did watch briefly in fall 2001 to December 2002, and briefly saw glimmers of the June 1994 to March 1997 era, but unfortunately that didn't last.)

@sneezyize And it continued to be a fairly strong show up until Blake and Ross Marler married in June 1994 (but Mo was big gap in the show's story that was difficult to fill.) The years up until March 1997 were okay, but not terrific (certainly the Brent Lawrence/Marian Crane story and the early Annie Dutton Lewis painkiller addiction story were good; the return of Reva wasn't, but ...), but after the retro-rewrite of Amanda Spaulding's brith that marked for me that the show was doomed.

@PJL2004 Looking back after nearly two years since it's departure, I think GL was fine (even with departures and what Pam Long did to the Bauers in 1984) until Maureen Reardon Bauer was killed off in January 1993 (that marked the true beginning of the end of the show, I was so hoping that before Mo died that might have at least let her have a child that was Ed's -- I know about what doctor's warned her about, but that's how they could have killed off Mo.)
