Guiding Light - MESSAGE BOARDS

I've only been watching GL for about 12 years & I'm confused about a couple of things. Who are Philip's real parents? Isn't Raines on the tombstone? Who is Maureen Bauer? And why has Lillian never been a bride? That was mentioned on todays episode. Who was Beth's father?

Justin and Jackie Marler are Phillips biological parents.He was adopted by the Spauldings.Maureen Bauer was Ed Bauers wife,Rick & Michelle Bauers Mother.Ed had an affair with Lillian who was Maureens best friend.When she found out about it she drove off a snow covered cliff and was killed.That was Maureen Bauers gravestone Lillian was at on todays show.

Nah, he's not Beth's father. Ed and Lillian just had an affair some years back.

no guiding light or as the world turn today preampt for tennis again at 1,oo watch it at 3,00 in the morning like
give us a break enough tennis already.

Bradley Raines was Beth's father, he was abusive to
Beth as a teenager. That was how she became one of the four muskteers. when they all beame friends in high school. If remember right, he was killed, But don't remember by who, I think it might have been Lillian, protecting
Beth.

Bradley was actually Beth's stepfather. Her biological father was never part of the show. When the Raines' were first introduced in 1983, I think it was stated at some point that Lillian was a widow prior to her marriage to Bradley. I think that Beth's bio dad died when she was very young. Bradley died off-screen @ 2000 when Beth went to Mexico to get her quickie divorce from Edmund and ended up getting kidnapped and washed away in a cave, and later emerged as Lorelei. Before she left for Mexico, she found out about Bradley's death and that he had willed her a silver mine, no doubt a feeble attempt to assuage his guilt and somehow atone for the heinous rape and traumatization of his stepdaughter. Hope this helps.

I need some help. Have been watching GL for many many years but missed some story lines over the past few years. How did Ross MArler die? Who is Daisy and why does she call Reva Grandma? What happened to Coop? Where are Harley and Gus? And why is Rafe a Spaulding? Who was Blakes Dad? They mentioned him when Holly showed up for the final shows.
