Otalia | The Complete Story | Guiding Light | Part 4 of 6

This is part 4 of the full love story of Olivia Spencer (Crystal Chappell) and Natalia Rivera (Jessica Leccia) on Guiding Light.

This lesbian love story evolves over the course of 2 years of soap opera tv. The writers took the time for them to slowly go from hating eachother to loving eachother. Because of the writing and amount of time they shared the screens together, the characters and the story have a lot of depth to them. What you won't see a lot of in this compilation is physical intimacy. Back in 2008/2009 gay storylines in soaps were still a new thing and the network and sponsors where afraid of backlash. What the actresses couldn't show in physical affection though, they made up for in their very realistic portrayal of emotions, great chemistry and overall great acting. Together with the writers they've created a beautiful love story nonetheless.

This is the fourth part of their story that starts with "the kiss" in january 2009 and ends with the the wedding in april 2009. The blissful ignorance that characterized part 3 of this compilation is over. In this part Olivia and Natalia slowly come to realize how they feel about eachother and a lot of conflicting feelings arise that lead to a whole lot of stupid actions.
This video has some great angst and it includes some of Crystal and Jessica's best scenes, but the characters actions might leave you a bit frustrated.
