Quint & Nola - St. Croix (part 1/21) - Guiding Light 1982

Guiding Light - July 1982 - Quint & Nola in St. Croix

In the Summer of 1982, Guiding Light, when they still spent money on the show, went on one of their popular "remotes" to St. Croix. These were the glory days of Douglas Marland, and they decided to bring their up and coming supercouple along for the fun . .angst ridden and mysterious Quinton or Mr.McCord as he was still mostly called at that time and the show's redeemed villainess and newly crowned young heroine, Nola Reardon were off on a quest of a lifetime to discover the golden temple and ultimately what the fans wanted most . ..romance. Quinton was an archaeologist who had spent the past ten years looking for a Phoenician barge that went down in the ocean and the golden temple they were searching for . Through deciphering ancient maps, Quint discovered that somehow the barge wound up in the Caribbean near a deserted island off St. Croix. As part of their growing closeness, Nola, who was always of a curious spirit, had started working with Mr. McCord as his archaeological assistant so it was only natural when it came time to trek off to St Croix that she should go along. The fans knew something amazing was going to happen. Also along for the trip was Gunther Lagosi who was Quint's good friend and colleague. Surely one could expect that one or both of the evil duo of Helena Manzini and Silas Crocker would show up to throw a monkey wrench into the plot, thus building the anticipation. Silas was charlatan and a modern day pirate. While Quint wanted to find these historical treasures to share with the world, Silas wanted them to pilfer and exploit for his own financial gain. And in an act of cruel betrayal, years earlier, Italian heiress Helena Manzini left her fiance Quinton for his evil nemesis.

But more important than anything. .when in the world would Quinton and Nola first kiss??!!! The fans were breathless for this moment when they could finally share a kiss without interruption. I'm looking at you Mrs. Renfield, Effie, Gracie and Gunther!!! No one would be disappointed with the big kiss we got in St.Croix . .a la "From Here to Eternity" style . . .but of course it always goes . .boy gets girl, boy loses girl. . .boy gets girl back . . .unfortunately for the Quint and Nola fans back in 1982 the times leading up to the "good stuff" were looooong . .but it was all well worth it.
