[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 445506, member: 673"] I know that this thread hasn’t been active for six years but I didn’t want to start another one when this seems to have been the place for general chat about [I]Guiding Light[/I]. I’ve been watching some 2002 episodes that have led up to Joan Collins’ arrival as Alexandra Spaulding. What I was wondering about was the whole San Christobel thing. The action is no longer based there but there are still references to it (Reva is currently on trial for the mercy killing of the island’s Prince Richard). During the San Christobel era, was it like a 50/50 split of scenes between there and Springfield? And was it jarring for viewers to suddenly switch from stories based in smalltown USA to stories set around a Caribbean island monarchy? Australian soap [I]Sons and Daughters [/I]did the two locations thing (Sydney and Melbourne) but that was established from the beginning and was set in pretty normal locales. I know daytime soap [I]Capitol[/I] did it too (Washington and the fictional Middle Eastern kingdom of Baracq) but I’m not sure if they went as hung ho into it as [I]GL[/I] did. [/QUOTE]
