What makes it different from others?

Some things I liked some I did not.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I am inquiring about that reporter that was on November 17. She was beautiful and a great actor I would love to see her on my TV screen again!!! I have also seen a few movies she was in such as Equinox Knocks in 1999 as Lynette Larson a boyfriend taker of her arch rival. Witch craft and high school drama what more would a movie need. Also in a higher scale of movie Amber played the uncredited roll as Joe Newton's Date in the 1998 The Newton Boys movie that is now on IMDb with 5.6/10 stars. Farmers turned to bank robbers wow what a movie!!I would love to see Amber Voiles in more of your show!! Please everyone that sees this comment please look her up!! Amber Voiles

Grant's portrayal of Phillip over the years was great. I am still holding my breath for the day he come's back to Guiding Light. I know that GL cut a lot of the best cast members last year, but I hope they didn't cut out us fans of the best actors who portrayed not only Phillip Spaulding, but Ross Marler and the cutting back of Rick Bauer, Holly and Blake. Please come back Phillip- I have been a fan of Guiding Light since before you and Rick came back from boarding school and Rick changed his name. Grant, you are greatly missed, as is the character you portrayed, it is not just my hope, but that of my mother's and sister's that you come back soon. You are fondly missed, and we can't wait till you walk into the board room of Spaulding, unannounced and get into it with Allen. The story line for your return could be the best GL has had in years.

Is anyone else confused about this whole Marina and Alan Michael thing??? The writers (and characters) seem to forget that Alan Michael was married to Marina's mother, Elani, before she was married to Frank. If they get together, that is just weird. "Hey mom...I'm dating your ex-husband from over 20 years ago...." They did an awful job casting him...I think he is a great actor, but age wise, it just doesn't fit. He looks younger the rick hearst did when he played Alan Michael back in the mid 90's. He looks way too young to be Alan Michael. And on a side note, I miss Danny and Marina... I hate that he got back with Michele.
