Within the next few weeks, Guiding Light will be winding down. The idea of this gives me mixed emotions - rage, because, yet again, the people responsible for network daytime programming continues to disregard their viewers and the traditions their soap operas represent. I'm still debating whether to watch the last remaining weeks of Guiding Light, since it will bring back memories of Santa Barbara and Another World's cancellations; but Guiding Light was the soap I turned to when Santa Barbara was gone.
In the months leading to my acclimation to Guiding Light, I remember reading in Soap Opera Digest that Justin Deas was joining the cast. I remember telling GL loyalists that Justin's presence will add to GL; eventually they saw that and relished his portrayal of Buzz Cooper.
Deas' energy, unpredictability, and intensity, with a side of humor, punctuate every role he took on - never more so than in his role as Keith Timmons. Keith Timmons was a weasel - ambitious, cunning, greedy and horny. While my favorite Keith moments involve Gina, I decided to post a clip of Keith actually doing his job, and dude was kinda ruthless. This is during the Elena Nikolaus trial and he's really giving Eden the business, which doesn't go done too smoothly for Cruz.
Hopefully, the SB clips in the coming weeks will showcase both Justin Deas and Robin Wright's best moments, given that both are on the cusp of career-changing events.
