In "THE LIGHT" With : Beth Chamberlin (Beth)

SONBC: Congratulations on being placed back on contract.

BC: Thank you! I'm very excited to be playing more active role in Springfield. Don't you feel the stories being written are very true to the characters history?

SONBC: Of course, it's very reassuring and the feedback is good as well. Let's talk for a moment that all the stories have taken a big step backwards, what are your thoughts on that?

BC: The stories written from March 2003 forward where at times hard to justify. I think this regime of writers realized that and took us back to era that was strong, Gus and Reva's storyline had to be wrapped up but after that it's a whole new world for us.

SONBC: You sound very happy with everything that is going on, could that be because you have a rumored front burning story beginning next week in fact.

BC: I'm thrilled with whatever this regime gives me...so far everyone seems to have amazing work. Maureen (Garrett, Holly) is coming back to the center of the show, Tina Sloan's Lillian is interacting with a whole new town and connections are being established there. This writer writes the women of our series, he writes us strong, independent, flawed...we're all so different and that makes a good canvas.

SONBC: You didn't address your up coming story. Can you at all?

BC: What I can say about it is this: it will be a week long "IN the LIGHT" with my character... (Smiles) People should read and see what this writer has crafted. I have some good scenes with Crystal (Chappell, Olivia) and Marcy (Rylan, Lizzie) who is playing my new daughter...this "ITL" is one that should not be missed!!
