By Melodie on May 27, 2009
Have you ever wanted to know what soap actors are thinking on the set? Well, here is your chance. Crystal Chappell, who portrays Olivia Spencer on Guiding Light, decided to use the power of the internet and Twitter live from the Bauer Barbecue today. So far, there have been guest appearances from Beth Chamberlin, Frank Dicoopoulos, Paul Anthony Stewart, Nancy St. Alban, and Tina Sloan. I'm sure there is much more to come. Check it out!

Thanks Mel! I've been following Crystal all morning, and it sounds like the Bauer BBQ is going to be GREAT this year.
Much love to Crystal and the GL cast for sharing this with us.

I am loving it! Still anxiously awaiting Danny Cosgrove.
Did any of you catch where Beth Chamberlain twittered about talking to Morley Safer???
What is Morley Safer doing there? Is 60 minutes doing a feature on Guiding Light?

troy,
I caught that too about Beth talking to Morley Safer. I thought, is this CBS' way of giving GL some coverage after snubbing the ralliers last week?
I'm curious to see what this is all about.

That is awesome, suprised they are filming the BBQ scenes so soon. Before they did it three weeks before it airs.
But sounds like it will be a great last Bauer BBQ (at least on CBS), I'll definately catch those episodes!!!

This proves why CC is a total goddess - who amazing is it that she is willing to share this with her fans.

Looks like Guiding Light really is the first great soap of the 21st century. Interactivity is the wave of the future and the GL production model, and the can-do attitude of its cast and crew could revolutionize the industry.
Are you listening, Lifetime?

It really is awesome of Crystal to Twitter like this. She's been clearly having fun with her Twitter account all weekend!!

Fan-savvy appreciation is one of the many reasons Chappell's been as successful as she's been for so many years and why she's Daytime Confidential's #1 performer in April. Plus, ya know, she's wicked hot and talented to boot, so there is that.

Thank you Destini!! Check out Crystal's very first tweet people!
This is so wonderful. All of the people over at Guiding Light have been active today. The versitility and adaptability of this cast and crew and production are changing the way we look at the shows we want to watch. Seventy Two Years from Radio to Tv.. at this rate we'll be saying 'Guiding Light... 100 year anniversary.." in less than 30.

Very cool of Crystal to be twittering from the set. I have been following her all day - signed up with Twitter just to follow along. Very smart of her and incredibly fan-friendly. Loved the part about Jellybean just showing up somehow.

It's really sad to think of GL ending. What will become of these actors? Where will they go? I know that many of us are also facing unemployment, I'm just sad to realize that many of the faces we've seen for years will drop of the radar.
After GL fired Nancy St. Alban and Paul Anthony Stewart, they both disappeared. I think I saw St. Alban in a commercial and Stewart had a bit part with Billy Warlock for 30 seconds on FX's Damages. Otherwise, they have not found new homes that offered the same kind of visibility.
Given the ageism in soaps, I can't imagine many of the actors being able to find similar work on soaps.
I read the other day that Judi Evans is selling burial plots. Think about that. The original Beth is selling burial plots because she can't find acting work.
I'm sure Kim Zimmer has saved for a rainy day but I'm less sure of some of the other actors on the show.
Since Passions ended, how many of its lead actors have gone on to other high profile acting jobs? The actors who played Ethan and Luis are on Days of Our Lives but the rest are nowhere to be found.
The same can be said of Port Charles and Another World. The last two other soaps to be canceled.
I read that a number of lead actors from those soaps fell on hard times.

I think we crashed twitter today! Everyone hitting refresh so often (you know you did). Its great to see an actress making such a consistent effort to interact with fans. She is the goddess of daytime. Thank you for sharing, and getting the rest of the cast involved. The BBQ will take on even more importance since we all felt like we were there today.
Also - she mentioned having to cry this morning....I think that caused the group hug that crashed twitter the first time.
Yes, Lifetime take note of the brand interaction happening here!!!!!

How lucky of a fandom are we for having the Goddess herself Tweeting us?! Geez, I keep pinching myself because it seems so unreal.
GL and CC are the best ever!!!
