BREAKING NEWS:
Actress Opts to Leave Role


<HR>

Stillwater, OK (November 5, 2007) -- As "The Guiding Light" prepares for a relaunch this week comes news that veteran actress Laura Wright has opted not to renew her contract with the series.

Negotiations between executives and Wright began early this summer as her contract expired at the end of August. Wright joined "GL" as stripper Cassie Layne in August of 1997.

"It's hard to even consider Laura not apart of this series, however things happen and the show must continue," says executive producer Josh Hawkins.

For a better part of the last year, Wright has been pulling double duty at "TGL" and "Port Charles" where she portrays Carly Corinthos. "It's understandable that Laura would want to continue where she is prominently featured in a leading capacity," Hawkins reasoned.

With negotiations on-going for the last two months, executives actively auditioned and sought out a replacement for the character. "We knew this would was a possiblity and we're making adjustments accordingly," Hawkins continued.

Those actresses included, Cynthia Preston (ex-Faith, GH), Jensen Buchanan (ex-Vicky, AW), Cady McClain (Rosanna, ATWT; ex-Dixie, AMC) and Nicole Forrester.

The actresses tested opposite Robert Newman (Josh) and Kim Zimmer (Reva) and are slated to test with one other actor before a final casting decision is made.

Stay tuned for all the details.
