Alan's unmasking, Guiding Light 1986

[@swolfe9668]

After Chris Berneau left as Alan and Beverlee left as Alex the show was never the same

[@liamhen]

So agree

[@sylvesterquast5832]

One of my favorite scenes ever

[@liamhen]

One of the best scenes in GL history.

[@HellBlazerRaiser]

The music is so terrific as they all unmask.

[@mikaelasa100]

excellent...excellent! this show was so good in 1985 and early 1986...thanks you

[@leforge6937]

Great sequence, great soundtrack too. This scene is better than the entire last ten years of GL. Would love to see these in re-runs somewhere.

[@kevinmclaurin6017]

How ironic. 🤣🤣

[@kevinmclaurin6017]

Alexandra arrived in Springfield at a masquerade ball as a honored guest. Alan returns to Springfield at a masquerade ball as a honored guest.

Christopher Bernau was the reason I started watching Guiding light, he made a terrific bad guy👍

[@lolalinastar3768]

I love this Alan!

[@MrJoesmokey]

One of my fav stories from GL a classic story such fun.

[@tommeedee]

I just love the joy that India gets from this.

[@CaliforniaGuy888]

Classic Clip ! Thank you Thank You. I remember watching that as it aired .

[@docmitchell6312]

CaliforniaGuy888 oh do I also remember this. When it first aired they made you wait a whole weekend for Alan to take off the mask

[@robertpresar9970]

38 years later and still pure magic.

[@ACcountryFan]

thanks for the upload! even though it wasn't the entire scene, it still includes the reveal and the shocked looks. Fletcher's expression is noteworthy because he and Jim Reardon left Alan in San Rios at the mercy of the FBI. Fletcher looks like "I can't believe he escaped the jungle and the FBI."

[@BSted-lm3mx]

The synthesizer score is magnificent!

[@SaxonC]

The original Alan Spaulding.

[@ChristopherHauser-58]

Second one is better

[@The1beverleefan]

that was so awesome. even though i know its alan i'm still surprised!

[@416mcp]

great scene

[@danajackson36]

oh Alan!!

[@robertpresar9970]

Gorgeous.

[@lolalinastar3768]

Fletcher' s grin😁😁

[@robertpresar9970]

I wish I knew what the music is.

[@1976mcil]

what a great scene! does anyone know why India is smiling in the background (is that her name)? is she in on alan's unmasking?

[@Icecool1981]

+1976mcil Yes, after she met Alan she had convinced Alexandra that he really was dead. That way she would be even more shocked when Alan turned up alive. It was her way of getting even with her.

[@MsShadyShade]

Yes, India knew Alan was back in town, I think if I remember right they were trying to smuggle art in or something before Alan revealed himself.

[@DisappearingBoy2010]

Because she already knew it was him

[@kevinmclaurin6017]

India and Alan were in cahoots. He was secretly for 2 years in Andorra at Baron von Halkein's castle.

[@ChristopherHauser-58]

There was Allen one and Allen two which one you like I say Allen 2

[@robertpresar9970]

Any idea what music is playing when he umasks?

[@PJChgo1]

Most of the music for GL (and all the P&G shows) was inhouse - they had Score Productions write a lot of background music as well as the theme songs for those shows.
