' CD Sports Probe CD Crisis Counselor Q) News According to Playboy Soap Beat New producer gives 'GL' a 'Texas' flavor By Connie Passalacqua Every soap opera changes somewhat each time a new executive producer takes the helm. But nowhere in recent years has a show undergone a more radical and self-evident change than "Guiding Light." Since Gail Kobe became executive producer of the show late last winter, virtu­ ally every element of the show has undergone some stage of transformation. 'GL' now resembles NBC's canceled "Texas," Miss Kobe's previous outpost. Viewers will notice first that many of the new per­ formers entering the show under Miss Kobe's regime are those she used on "Texas." Annabelle Sims, Tony Reardon's (Greg Beecroft) new love inter­ est, is played by Harley Kozak, who played Brette Wheeler on "Texas." Brette's father, Eli Sims, is played by Stephen Joyce, who played a rapist named Bubba on the same show. James Rebhorn, who played the butler, John, on "Texas," is now probable child abuser Bradley Raines on "GL." And Mary Pat Gleason, who played housekeeper/confidante Doris on "Texas" is now housekeeper/confidante Jane on "GL." Miss Kobe has also brought along her last "Texas" headwriter Pame­ la Long Hammer (who also played the memorable Pamela Long Hammer Ashley Marshall on that show) to be co-headwriter with Richard Cullitan on -GL," Their innovations have changed the show from a fairly low-keyed drama to something that too often is hokey and downright syru­ py. This approach worked on-"Texas," where it was in sync with the show's rural background and charac­ ters. But "GL's" Springfield has always been the squarest town in soap operas. It's difficult for die­ hard fans' to watch the con­ servative characters they know so well became corny and in some instances downright silly. However, Miss Kobe should be credited with a sappy but entertaining sto­ ry of young love in the shape of a four-sided rela­ tionship . (c) 1963 Compulog
