Tina Sloan Celebrates 25 Years on GL

Tina Sloan (Lillian Raines) is celebrating her 25^th anniversary with Guiding Light this month. Tina joined the show in 1983.

Beth Chamberlin, who has played her daughter, Beth, since 1989, had this to say about Tina: “To say that Tina is the best TV mom anyone could ask for, doesn't begin to touch just how much she has meant to me over the years. She has protected me, mentored me, inspired me and prodded me (I occasionally need this). By her example, she has taught me to be a better actress, friend, and co-worker. She is gracious, elegant and vivacious. I consider it one of the great good fortunes of my life to have been put into her beautiful orbit.”

Abs of Steel

Excuse me as I toss yet another handful of M&M's in my mouth as I write this, but Beth Chamberlin (Beth, Guiding Light) inspires me. At the age of fortysomething(?), she has a workout video, and she has a rock-hard stomach to prove she actually did the work! I've never heard of this type of aerobic and strengthening activity before, which involves a "kettlebell," but after seeing her abs on the video's website, I'm ready to give it a try.
