The actor who plays her dad is married to Margaret Colin, who played the cyborg's wife on Now and Again. Sort of a superhero connection. Assuming he still plays her dad. I haven't watched GL in years.
It was a TV show. A very good TV show. A very short-lived TV show. John Goodman's brain was transplanted into Eric Close's artificial body.
I found a clip from Guiding Light. Justin Deas does indeed still play Harley's dad. And here's reason to be grateful I couldn't open the whole episode:
Without commenting on the merits of the crossover itself, I have long believed that superhero comics, at least since Chris Claremont, are soap operas for teenage boys. So in that sense the idea itself is not offensive.
