“Guiding Light” Superhero Preview Online

I have no idea what this looks like or what’s shown since CBS has made their InnerTube service in such a way as to not be Mac-friendly, but those of you on PCs can take a peek at the Guiding Light superhero without setting your Tivo for the entire show. I have no idea how long it will be available online, but I have a sneaking suspicion this sotryline will be making it’s way to various BitTorrent search engines before too long.

From the Guiding Light behind the scenes “blog” with no way to link directly to articles:

In a first for daytime television, Guiding Light is teaming up with Marvel Comics to produce a very special “Inside the Light� episode unveiling a new super-powered character. Taking a page from the Wednesday, November 1 episode airing on CBS, Marvel Comics will also release an eight-page comic back-up featuring some of Marvel’s mightiest heroes (and villains) descending on Guiding Light’s city of Springfield to determine if this new super-powered being is friend or foe!

Guiding Light’s episode titled, “She’s a Marvel,� was written by headwriter David Kreizman. The story focuses on mild mannered and harried Harley Davidson Cooper played by Beth Ehlers. Zapped by an electrical current, Cooper finds herself imbued with the powers of a superhero. How will her new powers affect her life as a cop, a mother and a wife?

“Joining forces with Marvel is such a natural fit for us because comic books and soap operas have so much in common,� says GL headwriter David Kreizman. “We both feature long running characters and larger than life stories that appeal to a loyal and passionate fan base. We hope that our viewers will be excited to see their favorites in the pages of a comic book and that Marvel fans will tune in to see how we put our twist on a classic superhero story. What working mom hasn’t wished for superpowers every now and then?�

And for those of you who need more, CBR has a behind the scenes piece of their own, complete with soap opera hottie photos.

    For CBS Innertube shows, MAC is supported on both Firefox and Safari browsers (not Internet Explorer).

    Interesting. I’m running a Intel iMac with both Safari and Firefox and was unable to get the videos to work. Trying again now from my G4 Powerbook, it’s working fine. Maybe it’s an Intel Mac issue?
