Made me cry all over again with my GL. Hardcore "Lighter" here, why can't we have GL, ATWT on the web. Now I would pay for those soaps. Love is Many...I remember that soap growing up especially in around '69, I was 9 and it was damn good little soap which didn't last long. But when we lost Love in '73 we got Y&R. Lots of talent on Love..Donna Mills, Leslie Charleston, Beverly McKinsley, Andrea M. etc
