Guiding Light - Roger Thorpe Rapes Holly

OMG this was the story that I watched at age 9 that hooked me on soaps. I'm 38 now, with a masters degree --- people wonder who watches soaps --- um, educated people who love entertainment like this. God, Roger Thorpe was the BEST villain! Loved the whole kidnapping afterward ... good tv stuff.

.......I remember this episode years ago when
I was 9 going on 10,my twin brother,god rest
his soul,met the actor who played Roger
Thorpe.

i know this was a grim scene...but the original ed bauer here was so sexy

and it still is

Roger was one of the alltime great villians. Guiding Light used to be a great show.

I loved this soap. I watched Guiding Light since I was little kid. This video showed what really Roger Thorpe was rewally like. God rest in Roger.

Oh man! This is gr8! I can't w8 2 show my mom & sister this!!!! 1 of the gr8st moments in soap opera history! God I missed Roger Thorpe! 1 of my top 5 BADASS male villians.

Outstandingly acted scene controversial topic if they had the media outlets they have today the show would have been revered even more for approaching this hidden troubled family topic GL deserves major credit for tackling this social topic

I always adored Roger, but this was the only time I wanted Roger strung up by his testicles. I was 14 when this aired in the Spring of '79.

It is great to see this clip. I remeber watching it!!!!!!!!!! i am 39 now and my mom was always watching to see what crazy Roger Thorpe was doing. Please post more 1970`s Guiding light clips! That period on the show was awesome!

I was very little then....but I do recall that..my mom has watched Guiding Light faithfully for years!

only in 1990 was it a crime for a spouse to R**e his wife in England. how slow is that? thst was from the case of R v R.

Michael Zaslow was a guest star on Star Trek in the first episode "Man Trap" 1966

i made a mistake. i watched gl since about 86/87. and yes, roger's breathing/stumbling adds to the dramatics of it. i noticed that after watching it this time. thanks for replying!

He does stumble, but I think it enhances the performance.

i love this, i love saops

LOL...this is disgusting...

i remember this show first roger raped rita stapleton then her R**es holly but rita tell mike ed brother what he did mike was a lawyer and roger goes to jail it took 6 weeks on tv for the trial it aired late 70's wow i feel old now lol

didnt they hook back up in 1993??? wierd how things liike this happens and then people forget about it and have a relationship!!!

Hi, Search "The Guiding Light End Credit Montage 1" to see and hear that ending.
Cheers!

Chilling. Very good story telling. The way things should be.

Excellent clip . Do you have the closing theme music for The Guiding Light as well? That would be so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to love Roger, hehe

Back when GL was good...

As The World Turns quickly followed suit in 1980 or 81 having John Dixon R**e wife Dee Stewart. There was even a trial but I'm not sure how it came out.

To the poster of the clip, do you happen to have the intro to all of the major soaps of the 1970s?
