one of my absolute favorites!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The program has been off the air for quite awhile now, still I have many fond memories of watching it with my mother, who told me she used to listen to it on the radio while she was doing her ironing. Although it seems silly, some of the story lines came to have personal meaning. There were many times when the characters would display such pluck in adverse circumstances that it helped me somehow. Like the characters, I found the strength to face another day. I loved Josh and Reva, Philip and Beth and many others. Every now and then there would be a spiritual "zinger" of some kind, reflecting the show's religious roots.Then came the Internet, and the DVR with the ability to skip the commercials. Other forms of entertainment were readily available and in competition. Most of the soap operas had their budgets cut and then fizzled out.I know many of the shows towards the end did start to resort to increasingly bizarre and "way out there" stories, which probably hastened the demise. Still, I will fondly remember "Love in the afternoon" and the GL.

Thought these two are great together I think it is just sick that they are going to put then together as lovers. After all they are first cousins and that is just gross. Please put Tammy back with Sandy. They are great together. This is only my opinion but I would bet that there are others out there that feel the same way. We know that Tammy is Cassie's daughter and that Jonathan is Reva's son. Also they have proved that Cassie and Reva are sisters, so that makes Tammy and Jonathan first cousins. In some states it is illegal for first cousins to be together as lovers or to even get married. This is the worse idea they have had since they cloned Reva.

I have watched this soap for 19 years , it is my favorite, but I'm extremely upset about Danny and Michelle being written out! Let Edmund go instead ! That couple is a lot of viewers favorites! I think you'll lose a lot of viewers because of this. It's like letting Josh and Reva go it just should not be done !! This is a BIG mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I think the writers should rethink this story line, before it's to late, stop bringing new characters on the show that no one likes, and keep the viewers favorite ones.Edmund's storyline is absolutely ridiculous, Cassie is so naive and stupid, does she not realize she never felt the baby in Dinah's stomach, there were only a few Dr.s appointment's .... I mean really, come on now no one is that dumb!! You want to keep a storyline like that but do away with popular roles. I don't get it.
