Guiding Light: Year In Review 1997

t's been over a year since I've done a year in review. I enjoyed doing the last one, 2004 so I thought I would do one that was years before. Pre 2000 I don't have many episodes of each of those years, but I was able to get a hold of some different episodes that gave me a wide range of 1997. 1997 was truly an awesome, exciting year for everyone on the show. Some would say it was the year of Annie. I loved Annie so maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. It felt like each story would involve a variety of characters. 1997 was also the year that many favs came back like Harley & Jenna. Some came back for a shorts stint like Mike Bauer, Dylan, Hawk, Maureen, and Trish (to name a few). We said good-bye to Alan-Michael, Lucy, Bridgett, and a few other ones that were prominent for so many years. This was also Michael Zaslow's last year on the show. It was hard for me to re-watch some of the scenes because I could tell that his health was slowly deteriorating. There was only one Roger in my book, which is why you won't see any clips of the actor who took over the role. Enjoy this look back at Guiding Light. What was your favorite moment in 1997?
