<HR>Stillwater, OK (November 18, 2007) -- Welcome to a new feature for the SONBC blog, "The Guiding Light" a look at the upcoming week of events, casting news and stories for the blog the "Springfield Journal Update."
HOT STORY of the WEEK
- "The Lewis family is thrown for one hell of a loop this week," confirms executive producer Josh Hawkins. Josh reviews the security DVDs and learns that it was in fact his son, Shayne that leaked the Cedar's project to Spaulding Enterprises!
With Shayne's motives unclear, Josh decides that he must confront him about his actions. Things turn heated and for a moment Shayne trully feels that his world is crashing down around him. "There's a scene where Shayne is just sitting in his car, wondering how things have gotten so out of control," shares Hawkins. Things turn from bad to worse for both father and son, as Josh leaves Reva without telling her what is the matter. "Their marriage is strong but Reva continues to keep a secret about Jonathan and her trip to San Cristobel earlier this year. This marriage is put to the test yet again," the EP confirms.
Shayne goes to The Beacon to see the one person he hopes can help him make sense of what is going on in his life, Tammy. But things for the teen take a sudden turn of events and all hell breaks lose! "There's a huge scene at The Beacon that does set this storyline into motion and it's going to be an amazing, emotional, family driven storyline that takes us through Episode 100." Hawkins smiles.

Melina Kanakaredes (Eleni) wraps up her stint this week during Episode 087. "We were glad to have Eleni back on the canvas for the time she was here," Hawkins stated. Look for her to wrap up her time with a bang!
As reported earlier, Jason Shane Scott (ex-Braxton) was given his walking papers. Look for his story to be concluded this week when his girlfriend Lizzie goes to his apartment. "It breaks my heart to see these characters go, but it was for the best." Hawkins said earlier this year in an official statement.
This week also marks the return of the often mentioned, rarely seen Marissa Spencer Randall. Judith Blazer who portrayed Olivia's sister in 1999 returns for a brief stint. Look for Blazer to also pop up sometime in 2008.
- With the Thanksgiving holiday quickly approaching, will those residents of Springfield have anything to be thankful for? "Everyone in Springfield has a lot to be thankful for," confirms head writer/executive producer Josh Hawkins. However, the scribe has confirmed that no plans to celebrate the holiday will occur this year.
"Sad but true," he goes on to say. "TGL" just relaunched last week after a multi-month leave from the SONBC channel and it would have been difficult to work the holiday into current stories. That said however, plans are being made to celebrate Christmas and New Year's Eve. "I'm looking at the stories I have planned, from there I plan to weave the holidays into stories."
Currently, Episode 101 is scheduled to be the "Christmas in Springfield" episode.
