Guiding Light: Beth tells Phillip the truth

[@angelapowell8313]

I was thirteen when this aired . I miss The Guiding Light

What incredible writing, what a wonderful message to send to men about how to respond to something so terrible, and to women about what they deserve in the aftermath.

Beth did the right thing by moving out of that house

[@makeittrue]

I'm along with Jeffrey. I was really absorbed in the original "Phillip and Beth" storyline. I actually videotaped this episode (No longer have it.) The missing part is when Beth first tells Phillip that she was raped, that I think is here. What is missing-- he explodes in anger and frustration in not protecting Beth. Because of the shock, he briefly runs off. Beth walks toward a mirror with lipstick and blots her image out and leaves. Phillip returns seeing her gone and runs to look for her. They find each other and the "talk it out" is where this video restarts I believe.

Have you seen a full episode of this online to watch? For the little missing scenes? I mean, I'm grateful for this one, but would like to see the whole episode if I can.

The writers should never have messed with this storyline. Phillip was so tender with her and I wanted to see their happily ever after. Then they had to break them up with Phillip being a jerk and pairing Beth with that Lujack thug who I couldnt stand and making it like Phillip was never right for her and Lujack was the better deal. No way. I stopped watching at that point. Asking us to believe that Beth and Phillip weren't the real thing was to much. Just stupid

I knew this was the episode where she told Phillip about the rape. I started watching around 83 but wasn’t really into it as much until about 86 when I was a little older to understand what I was watching. Excellent writers and actors

my god I don't remember this music being so old but goddamn I used to love this!!!!!!

Bradley Raines adopted Beth. They never divulged Lillians first husbands name, or whether or not she had other children, or even if Bradley had other children.

[@soapunk]

"Beth nothing can be that bad!". Then its like...D'OH! Ok, that's pretty bad.

[@cooper7031]

Bad sound and quality.

[@JenniferKathleenGibbons]

I know it's not great but it was better than nothing.

[@sb61fury]

Beth should of told some one after it happened

[@catskann]

Your comment does NOT pass the “did what I type age well?” test. And it’s should HAVE, not “should of”, you two n stephanie burlap bag.

[@sb61fury]

@sb57fury1 I agree but Bradley threatened her
