GL’s New Look Not So Bad
Guiding Light has been doing the hand-held camera thing for the last week or so. They haven’t done the entire show that way, but they’re making their way to it. I actually kind of like it. Last week during Harley’s Inside the Light (ITL) it was interesting watching her interact with Cyrus outside of that God-awful studio. There was a certain realness to seeing her sit in a “real” doctor’s office (as opposed to that room in Cedars) and talking to a different doctor (than Rick or Mel). It really changed the show for me.
According to the show, they want to be able to show the characters in real settings, like real people. So, they’ll be showing them outside, focusing on their cars (no hoopties, I’m sure) and maybe even showing a character look at the time on their Chopard watch (Alan). They’ll show the outside of houses and buildings and let the characters interact with real town folk. This is where I grab hold of the hope that Main Street will become a distant dream.
The new ending shows a lot of scenes from outdoors. One included Jonathon. Now, this could have been from last year when Jonathon was saying good-bye to Tammy after which he ran off with little Sara. But I dunno. Reva’s been talking to him on the phone lately. So, there could be more to seeing that quick glimpse of him in the closing than just a memory.
All in all, I’ve pretty much decided that this is a really good move for GL. This may be just what Doctor Rick ordered.
