After tense and long negotiations, but the executive producer and head writer of "THE LIGHT" Josh Hawkins is confirming that indeed Stephanie Gatschet is staying on as Tammy Winslow!

"It was tough to get Stephanie to stay with the SONBC series, but we did." smiles Hawkins.

Gatschet who joined the original "Guiding Light" in July 5, 2002 has signed on for two more years with the blog. Details at press time were sketchy, look for more information and an interview with Gatschet this weekend in the newly created, "Weekend Update."
