Nola and Quint: Quint's bad week 2/3 1983 Guiding Light

Nola stays on in LA while Quinton returns to Springfield to take care of the Rebecca issue. Watch as he tries in vain to get the manipulative Rebecca out of his and Nola's life or at least his house before Nola returns. Bea and Tony make a point to remind him that's what's expected and he's even denied his request to see little Anastasia off to sleep. Poor Quint!


These would take place after Quint leaves Los Angeles and before he returns from the Spauding dinner party as seen in quintnolas: Quint & Nola -The Hollywood Trip (part 5/5) - Guiding Light 1983

@QuolaFan1 I know and I totally agree with you,no arguements.I felt so sorry for Michael for the way he was treated.I always felt Lisa and Michael were treated poorly once they were wrote off the show. The whole situation stunk. Michael could easily still act with Lisa again,if he wanted to he could always invite her to fly to Vegas and do a bit guest part with him for his theatre classes.If he asked her,i know she would say yes,but only to him.

@thia912002 Thanks for reminding me. It still sounds a bit like a backhanded firing to me though. He still didn't deserve to be treated that way, in my own humble opinion.

@thia912002 Floyd was always so possessive of Stacey and nola but Nola only showed friendship to Floyd.Yes,Nola never forgot that Floyd was the father of Stacey,but Quinton showed more compassion to Stacey than Floyd ever could.At least Quinton could provide for Stacey,in a way a father could for his child.Even though Quinton wasn't the father,he certainly stepped right into the role quite well,and loved that little girl,as though she were his own right from the start.Quinton was a father.

@QuolaFan1 Michael didn't get fired.Michael was told there was no storyline for him there after they finished up doing the Henry Chamberlain story.They were going to try to see if they were going to resurrect the story with him and Nola and that just never panned together,thanks to Megan McTavish(BITCH). So Michael left and decided to accept roles in other things. Including a cameo on B&B playing Sherman Gale. Don't ask.

@rcb1952oct I did watch Guiding Light a bit after they left. But it was never the same without them there. It was almost as though they were forgotten, except for an occasional mention of them, that I think I missed. Like you, I was also horrified at what TPTB did to them when they returned. But I kept hoping for the best, until I found out that Michael was fired -- of all things!!!

@QuolaFan1 I wish I had saved a lot of what I taped but it never crossed my mind to do that. I never watched the show after Quint & Nola left the show. When their last episode was shown, and as they walked out the door with their kids, I turned off the tv feeling as if I'd lost friends & I never watched the show again until the last few weeks of its existence in the hope of seeing Quint & Nola together on GL for one last time. I was horrified at what GL had become at the end.

@rcb1952oct I can't remember exactly when we got our first VCR. I know it wasn't a Beta. But it was definitely after Michael and Lisa left Guiding Light. But I think I always wished I had had one at that time. I do know I recorded much of the episodes with them in the 90's. I kept hoping the storyline would turn itself around. My original thought was that perhaps they were "faking" the affair for some reason. That way, they could have had some really fun meeting each other in private.

@thia912002 But at the same time, he also tried to involve Floyd as best he could. He didn't want Stacey to grow up without her father the way he did. But Floyd only showed ambiguity toward him at the best, instead of appreciating the help Quinton was trying to give.

@QuolaFan1 I bought a VCR in the fall of '82 just to tape GL. I had been forced to return to work due to a lack of money :). I was working part-time and Mondays were the only day I worked all day. I was so upset about missing GL that we went out & bought a VCR. I think we were some of the first people in town to have one. I had forgotten about that until I read this.

@rcb1952oct I would check with retroglyph,for sure. Retroglyph has always had a way of having material I have never remembered seeing before and it makes even myself go "Wow". i have seen the lost footage of when Nola first started working for Quinton and don't remember that.So i figured someone has to have the scenes when Nola gave birth to Stacey,with Kelly Nelson's help on the way to Cedars(in the ambulance).She had a fall at Thornway Road and went into labor during a storm.
