Otalia | The Complete Story | Guiding Light | Part 5 of 6

There are chapter timeframes at the bottom of this description

This is part 5 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 fifth part of their story that starts with the wedding that never happened in april 2009 and ends with some heartbreaking scenes from july 2009. In this video Olivia and Natalia try to figure out their newfound feelings for eachother and how to move forward together, while one curve ball after the other is being thrown at them. Unfortunately one of these curve balls ends up being too much for Natalia and the connection they've had up until now is temporarily broken.

While I'm not a fan of the direction the writers chose for them at the end of this video, it does create some amazing opportunities for Crystal (Olivia) to show off her acting skills in the next video.

I promise you, it all ends well.
