LILY LIGHT: FROM PREACHER TO CHEATER

R. Mattson - Lynn Clark

Imagine a funny bitch, who lost much in her life and whose main occupation is blackmail. Her name is Gina. Now imagine an evangelist preacher, always dressed in white, attractive, involved in fight against humanity’s vices such as gambling, smoking and alcoholism. Imagine that in private she loves drinking, smoking and having sex with Mason Capwell. Her name is Lily Light. Imagine a strong rivalry between Gina and Lily. What kind of link can connect two so apparently different women? Lily is the secret daughter of Gina, result of a rape. Gina believes that Lily was dead newborn. So her mother told her. Lily believes that her mother has abandoned her. So Lily tracks down Gina and she decides to approach her in an unusual way: to redeem her from her sins. Gina instinctively can not stand Lily. Imagine lightning and thunderbolts. For the role of Lily it was chosen Lynn Clark. The actress was very much like Robin Mattson and this similarity was also used in the scripts, provoking very funny moments.

R. Mattson - Paula Irvine

Unfortunately once the two women overcome their disagreements, the writers were unable to find an interesting story for her and after just four months, Lily Light left Santa Barbara. I loved very much this character that maybe was not loved by many. Bridget and Jerome Dobson then decided to bring back the character on the show after five years. But they called a different actress, younger and less like Robin Mattson, Paula Irvine. New Lily has nothing of the mad evangelist who caused years before the death of Amy Perkins and especially no one seems to remember her past. Neither Mason. Who is your favorite Lily?
