GL: The Story of Maryanne Caruthers

Then and now: The men of GL pose with the actors playing them in a flashback. (l-r) Jeff Branson (Young Alan), John Dauer (Young Ed), Peter Simon (Ed), Ron Raines (Alan), Justin Deas (Buzz), Graham Hamilton (Young Buzz), Will Bozarth (Young Billy), Jordan Clarke (Billy), Shonn Wiley (Young Josh) and Robert Newman (Josh).

For months now, the enigmatic Carrie (Carrie Nye) has been taunting Michelle (Nancy St. Alban), Marah (Lindsey McKeon) and Marina (Aubrey Dollar) about a fateful night from 1977. The story involved a woman by the name of Maryann Caruthers, and her connection to Alan (Ron Raines), Ed (Peter Simon), Billy (Jordan Clarke), Buzz (Justin Deas) and Josh (Robert Newman).

For some time, Carrie has been giving the girls only crumbs as to what happened, but on Monday, Jan. 5, the story is finally told. It involves the Springfield County Fair, and the choices that five young men with plenty of promise made. It's Rashoman, Springfield style, as the men recount their interpretation of the events, and Carrie has her version. What exactly happened that night? Tune into Guiding Light on Monday, Jan. 5, and find out. And check out our preview gallery and take a trip back to the year of 1977, to a night where lives were changed forever.
