  • She turned to the bottle because alcoholism runs in the Bauer family. Bill and Ed were both alcoholics and Hope became one as a result of her relationship with Alan and the emotional stress involved with being married to Alan.

    She couldn't take much more and I believe the womanizing and flirting Alan did with Trish Lewis and Rita, just to name a few, coupled with all of the other schemes and controversies Alan was involved in, was too much to handle for someone written to be young and innocent

  • remember even in all the good of this alan and hope getting together, hope did turn to the bottle. i was young but i remember her drinking and alan pacifying her drinking.

  • I guess Hope was another one of those "happinesses" Alan ran away from.

  • I don't know why they didn't keep Alan and Hope together. It would have kept Alan from degenerating into a straight-up villain, yet I doubt Hope would have completely changed him. Alan could have still been an anti-hero. Look at the asshattery Roger Thorpe was capable of in the mid-nineties while he and Holly were briefly reconciled!

  • I remember this from the summer of 79

  • well, these episodes were made when the show was vying for "Best Daytime Drama" year after year...they won in 1980 and 1982 but even in the years they didn't win "Best" show it was still well-written, by early 1980's standards...and I think it won several Emmy's for "Best Writing" during this era.

  • Alan was a great character back then. He is now reduce to a murdering cartoon.

  • General Hospital was number 1 in 1979, Guiding Light was number 5.

  • I believe this is when Guiding Light was Number One in the ratings!

  • Awesome! Thanks for posting!
