[thefunkyplanner]

OMG - he really IS a nice guy ... lol

WHEN on EARTH was that filmed? it looks like the VERY early 80s!

Most of the people who hate Frank only hate him because he was the third wheel in the Otalia story. Put me in an awkward position, because I'm all for lesbian romance, but my beloved Frank was once again a loser in love. I've never held my tongue and been so angry about it as I did against the Otalia fans hating on my Frank, because I didn't want anyone to think I was against Otalia when I was simply against the tired old loser Frank story again.

@thefunkyplanner I think it would early - mid 1990s because Harley & A-M must be married, Nadine is there, and Ed looks like he's with Holly so must either be when they are having affair or after Maureen dies in early 1993.

Jean Carol, as Nadine Cooper, is in the scene. Maureen Garrett, as Holly Lindsey, had returned to show. Carol joined in 1989. (I believe Garrett returned the same year; that was the case with the late Michael Zaslow as Roger Thorpe). And Carl Tye Evans, who played Harley's then-husband Alan-Michael Spaulding, left the show in 1990 (to be replaced by Rick Hearst).

My guess is 1989.

I happened to come across this video. (I'm lamenting the loss of 'GL'; I did not see it when it first aired. What a gift!

Thank you!

[CoolBlue71]

The casting on "GL" has been extraordinarily successful throughout the years (I'm particulary appreciative of the late Betty Rae); and Dicopoulos and Beth Ehlers — as siblings Frank and Harley Cooper — were sublime. They were very believable as a big brother and his little sister. (Thanks also to Pam Long, the great head writer, for her creation and development of those critical characters.)

[CoolBlue71]

The fact that Frank Dicopoulous was the longest tenured, contractual cast member — he signed on in 1987 — when "Guiding Light" signed off in 2009 say a lot.

A very engaging, down to earth actor.

Let me also add for those who didn't like his character in the later years, they changed his character a lot . He was the epitome of cool at one time.

Frank was considered one of the hottest men in Daytime when he first came on. He is still good looking but obviously much older now, plus he had a serious bout with skin cancer back in the early to mid 90's and came out still looking good. He is a very underrated actor.

I haven't seen this tape in ages. He is a good

dancer and I got a good feeling watching. I met Frank when he was in St. Louis Mo. at Granpa

pigeon's store.He was the the sweetest man.I even had my picture taken with him. I'm going to miss seeing him everyday and everyone else

[meatisadelicacy]

Nope. I still hate Frank COOPER.
