Josh

This Emily/Frank thing sounds very interesting. I wonder if he'll have any ties to Oakdale's past. Again...loving the Emma story, plus I love that Carly mixed up in it as well...I would love to see a real life Emma/Carly storyline.

The Light: Episode 003 Friday, September 8, 2006 At Cedars, Dr. Rick Bauer arrives and tells Josh and Reva that the attack on Shayne wasn't as bad as it had originally appeared to be. Reva thanks Rick and in private tells Josh that they need to talk. Before going off, Reva asks Cassie to get in touch with Olivia, ASAP. From the Springfield jail cell, Edmund demands that he be allowed to call his attorney: Cass Winthrop. But before he is able to make the call, Cass arrives shocking Edmund. Cass explains to his client that Alexandra telephoned him when she learned of his arrest and further tells Edmund that the case, does not look good. Olivia is heading out when she comes face to face with Alan at her door. In Connecticut, Lizzie Spaulding boards a plane, first class in route to Springfield. Gus arrives in Zurich, Switzerland with the intent on meeting and confronting Roy Baker. However as he is prepared to leave his hotel a phone call from Harley stops him. She says that she has been trying to get him on his cell for hours and he explains that it's not working. Because he's on the hotel landline, Harley ties him up for 30-45 minutes. Phillip and Beth are in route from the airport to the Spaulding mansion when they have a flat tire. After discovering that Beth does not have a spare, Phillip calls Triple-A leaving the divorced couple alone to wait. Olivia is taken aback when Alan barges his way into her room. He yells at her for leaving him alone on the island, while Olivia tells him it was her only choice. Alan warns her about crossing him especially since she is carrying a Spaulding heir...his child, nonetheless. Phillip and Beth finally return to Beth's hotel room at Towers, after Triple-A and Beth questions why Phillip has been so standoffish during their trip and he decides to go ahead and reveal why. Phillip tells Beth she is and will always be his best friend, no matter what happens in their lives. Beth tells him to tell her what the problem is. Phillip decised to reveal that he and Olivia have sex, but Beth mistakes everything, and assumes he wants to be back with her again and she pulls him into a passionate kiss! Reva tells Joshua that she had Cassie call Dylan earlier and he's on a flight to Springfield as they speak to take Shayne and Marah to Minnesota until the stalker is caught. Josh says that the believes the stalker has been caught. Still holding her cards close to her chest, Olivia assures Alan that she is pregnant but before she can tell she believes the baby belongs to Phillip her brother arrives and throws him out, just as the phone rings. Sam answers and hands the phone to Olivia. Cassie tells her that Reva has asked to see her immediately at Cedars, in regards to the stalker case. At the courthouse, Edmund is denied bail and sent back to jail where he is formally charged as Reva Shayne Lewis' stalker. In Switzerland Gus arrives at the hospital only to learn that Ray Baker died of a massive heart attack, after waking from his coma only an hour before Gus arrived. Devestated that he's gone, a nurse questions who Gus is and hands him a letter addressed to "Gus Aitoro." Inside he finds a key with address as well. Agreeing with Josh, that Edmund is behind bars and the family is safe she goes back in to see Shayne and discovers a vase of black roses. Reva freaks out and calls out for Josh who reads the card, "Dial S for Slut...They've got the wrong person" Reva tells him it doesn't matter if Edmund was behind this or not, her children are going to Minnesota, as Olivia arrives. Alone, dressed in black at a payphone in front of Cedars a person dials the number for Cedars. A nurse answers the call and pages Dr. Mel Bauer. Olivia wants to know why she was summoned and Reva updates her on the stalker case and tells her she is sending the kids to Minnesota. Olivia asks how that concerns her and Reva says that she wants her to go to San Cristobel and assure Jonathan's safety. At Cedars: "Dr. Mel Bauer." A short pause, "Hello this is Dr. Mel Bauer, may I help you?" The person breathes heavily and then speaks with a disguised voice, "You're on my list----bitch!" Next On 'THE LIGHT' Michelle and Mel share a heart to heart! Gus gets a huge clue in his search! Phillip makes a huge decision regarding the women in his life.

The Light: Episode 002 Wednesday, September 6, 2006 The Spaulding mansion is buzzing as Alexandra shuts the Reva Lewis show off and goes over to the safe behind the painting and pulls out the mysterious bracelet and has a flashback: Alexandra goes to Company where she runs into Buzz. She tries and fails to defend herself to him and leaves. Buzz finds her outside in tears, and there, they have a more honest, open exchange. She tries to do what is right but finds herself turning into the person she despises most, Brandon. Buzz tries to tell her that it doesn’t have to be this way, but we sense that she is in way too deep and doesn’t know how to get out, but Alan's return from the island jolts her back to reality. At The Beacon Frank and Harley busts into Olivia's bar to find it empty---all but one cell phone lying on the bar. Reva, Josh and Cassie are all together at KSPR in a secured room. When a police officer tells them that the stalker called home and Marah took the call. Worried for her children, Reva demands that she be taken home immediately. Sam returns to his suite at The Beacon to find a restless Olivia awaking from a dream. She tells her brother about it: there was something wrong with the baby and she confessed to Phillip that it was his baby. Sam is acting worried and Olivia picks up on it. He reveals he misplaced his cell phone. He offers Olivia advice about her situation telling her to make a decision best for her, make peace with it and move forward. Alan reveals to Alexandra that his loving wife had him held prisoner on the island and that his only saving grace was Ben Reade. Alexandra however is very short, distant and clearly upset with Alan over something, but does not tell him what and storms out of the mansion. After she's gone Alan goes over and closes the safe, wondering what Alex has been up to in his absences. Frank calls Josh and alerts him that they have a lead with the cell phone they found in the bar. While at the same time Cassie orders the phone logs from The Beacon be turned over to the SPD immediately, as well as security camera DVDs. Tammy returns from the station and when going to her suite finds Shayne in a back hallway bleeding! She calls 911, then Cassie. After getting off the phone with Tammy, Cassie tells everyone that Shayne was found at The Beacon by a payphone in a pool of blood. Frank and Harley begin viewing the DVDs from The Beacon as well as the phone records. They soon view Edmund leaving the bar within second of the first telephone call to Marah and then on the DVDs they see a person dressed in a trench coat and hat at the payphone. They see the figure leave and then later return, placing the person at the payphone at the time of the call to the station and then later they see Shayne Lewis arrive and be attacked. Feeling as though she may finally be cleared and have her name taken off the suspect list, Holly embraces Ross for not doubting her, an innocent gesture witnessed by Blake who thinks he wasn't so innocent. A rookie SPD arrives to tell Frank and Harley the cell phone belongs to Sam Spencer and there were no calls to the KSPR station. As she is coming down to the lobby, Olivia and Alexandra come face to face! Liv inquires as to if Phillip is home and Alex tells her he is not, but informs her that her husband Alan is. Before leaving, Alexandra issues Olivia a stern and firm warning: stay away from Phillip and make her marriage to Alan work, telling her Phillip will never love her the way Olivia wants him to, that it's not in Phillip's blood to love any woman like that unless your name is Beth Raines. Harley and Frank arrive at Edmund's suite to question where he was during the times the phone calls where made and he says at the bar, despite no one having seen him at that exact moments. Frank is forced to place Edmund under arrest as Reva's stalker. On their way to Cedars Reva tells Joshua: "This is the final straw Joshua. We have to protect our children, I have to protect all of my children...once we know Shayne is okay I'm calling Dylan and Marissa." Next On 'THE LIGHT' Alan confronts Olivia! Phillip & Beth return from their trip. Gus gets some answers regarding Roy Baker.

"Big things are happening in Springfield this fall as old storylines come to shocking conclusions and new ones heat up!! Take a look and see what is in store for your favorite citizens. Stories are geared toward the entire large canvas of characters." Phillip/Olivia/Beth/Alan "What we have had so far is Olivia married Alan...even though she had feelings for Phillip...and later made love with him! The paternity of the baby is cleared up when Olivia decides to find out if Alan or Phillip is the father of her unborn child. "Olivia struggles with whether or not she should do this or not, but ultimately decides it is the best thing for her child. Sam (Wes Ramsey) continues to pop up during the storyline. As for Alan he begins to push his attention towards an approaching board meeting of the Ex-Wives Club. Alexandra's year long run as CEO of the company is coming to an end and with her attentions elsewhere (See Gus/Harley story) he intends to make a run at Spaulding Enterprises." "Having put Bill and her troubled past as Lorelei behind her she intends to focus her attention to where it should have been the entire time: Phillip. We'll work to resolve the baby situation for the couple with Olivia and integrate Lizzie back into their lives by Christmas and then a whole new exciting tale begins." Buzz/Alexandra "Forget the fact that Alex is hiding a huge secret from his daughter's boyfriend and you have a match made in Heaven...or do you? This is going to be a fun pairing, one that will slowly build throughout autumn and because of her involvement in Gus' past the couple will have a huge falling out. But look for the returning Lucy Cooper Spaulding to play matchmaker...off screen throughout the cooling months." Gus/Harley "The truth about Gus will come out sometime in OCTOBER but Gus will be convinced that it is in Harley's best interest he keep mum about the truth. Gus has very good reasons for keeping quite about this situation and readers may think they have it figured out...but you don't. Alexandra accidentally spills the beans one night with Buzz and he tells his daughter...which has drastic outcome for the lovebirds!" Tony/Marah/Lizzie "In the aftermath of the bombing at the KSPR studios Marah begins to doubt Tony's involvement, despite there being an arrest and she begins a surprising friendship with Blake Marler. She begins to formulate her own theories as to what is going on with her boyfriend and makes her thoughts clear to Blake who advises Marah to confront Tony about her thoughts, which she finally does, sending him back to a dark place and straight into Lizzie's arms." Holly/Ross/Billy/Blake "An interesting dynamic begins to slowly build during the fall months. Think back to Ross and Blake's problems with planning a wedding post-Tory and then couple Blake's new found friendship with Marah and you have a nice square." Michelle/Danny/Cassie "Michelle decides some time away from Springfield is in order and she sets off to parts unknown. Leaving Danny questioning what went wrong yet again and hoping to correct his errors...with Cassie." HUGE AUTUMN STORY: Reva's Stalker "Someone is out to get the slut of Springfield once and for all!!! This story is huge and so much fun to plan. The stalker is someone Reva knows and it is not Edmund or Holly. This story is rich with history and involves another character from a prominent Springfield family with no ties to the Lewis clan or Reva."

Eden had been introduced, but in February 2003, she was off canvas. So we're just gonna pretend she dropped off the Springfield map.

Um who plays Will?

Next On 'THE LIGHT' For Alexandra the walls seem to be closing in! Blakes sees something that upsets her! An arrest is made in Reva's stalker case.

Love the storylines. On a side note: I love how you broke the paragraphs up in this one...I would love to see that continue, it is so much easier to read and flows better for me. I'm loving the Emma storyline!!! Kathleen is awesome!!!

Thanks for the opinions!! Christie will be a great fit for Michelle, I'm hoping you'll enjoy her storyline that I have planned when she returns to Springfield. As far as Mallett and Dinah, I plan to intergrate her character later on down the road. I want to get my feet firmly planted before Dinah comes on....but yes she'll be on in the form of Gina, most likely!!

STILLWATER, OK - The Guiding Light fan-fic, "THE LIGHT" has finally rounded out the stellar cast with a shocking round of hirings and firings. "I had three characters that I wanted to bring back." Says Executive Producer, Tyler Miller, "Two of these characters will propel a new and exicting story for a core Springfield family, while the other is a short term player." Colleen Dion (ex-Felicia, B& joins the cast in a yet unnamed role. "Dedicated "GL" fans will recall Dion's original stint on the show as Ramona in late 2003. However, since 'The Light' fan-fic begins in February 2003 so she never aired on our series. "Dion's character will be a huge turning point in a key storyline and she will not be playing Ramona." Assures Miller. A stunning recast recently shocked the cast and crew... During the first three episodes Nancy St.Alban will take the character of Michelle out of Springfield, paving the way for Christie Clark (Carrie, DAYS) to assume the contract role. "We originally brought Christie into read for another role during the original casting of the fan-fic, but she just didnt' fit what we were looking for and the decision was made to take the "Michelle" character into a completely different direction." Shares Miller. In addition to the casting above, two high profile actors are set to join the lineup. Multiple Emmy nominated and two time winner, Heather Tom (Kelly, OLTL) and co-star Dan Gauither (Kevin, OLTL) are set to join 'TL' cast after leaving their current home at "One Life to Live." "The availabilty of these three actors were amazing for my show and future storylines." Shares Miller. Who goes on to reveal that Tom will be portraying the role of Lucy Cooper Spaulding, daughter of Buzz and wife of young Spaulding heir, Alan-Micheal, which is the character Gauither will be playing. "Lucy and Alan-Michael were both favorites of mine and I think the current Guiding Light regime have ruined the character of A-M by pairing him with former step daughter, Marina. He is simply a new character with an old familiar name." Shares Miller. "Interweaving Lucy and A-M into my Springfield canvas was simple." Tom first appears in mid-November. Gauither however, will be appearing much later, in February 2007. In final casting news, David Andrew MacDonald has been given his walking papers in order for the new hirings to come into play. "Edmund's story has been played out for a very long time and we will not be telling a Cassie and Edmund storyline. After Richard died, there was no purpose for Edmund any longer." Shares Miller. MacDonald's last airdate is mid-October. Finally, "The Light" premieres Monday, September 04, 2006 and will air on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, here exclusivly on The Soap Opera Network Blogs in narrative/recap format.

TULSA, OK - "Whoever it is...they're going to have mighty big shoes to fill, that's for sure." Words spoken by series head writer Josh Miller of the role of Shayne Lewis, last played by Billy Kaye. A fan-fiction in the making, 'The Light' begins telling original stories after February 2003 when viewers saw Tony Santos (Jordi Vilasuso) toss a bomb down the stairwell of the KSRP news studio during an attempt to draw out Reva's (Kim Zimmer) stalker. "For the most part Shayne was not a heavy hitter during that storyline so it's easy to recast with a much older Shayne and begin telling new stories for the character." Continues Hawkins. Kyle Lowder, best known for his role on the NBC soap, "Days Of Our Lives" assumes the role of Shayne Lewis, the son of Joshua and Reva Lewis beginning in Episode 1 of 'The Light.' Lowder is on contract status, despite the fact that during the first few episodes he will be seen only briefly. In other casting news, Morgan Englund will appear in Episode 2 of the fan-fiction. 'The Light' is slated to premiere in mid-September 2006.

What if it happened differently? Inspired by others here at the board, mainly King's 'DAYS' blog I have decided it would be fun to go back to a point in time when 'GL' was good and go from there telling a fan-fiction based story. So that's what I have done, beginning soon I am going back in time (just say that I stepped into Reva's painting) and I am going to tell a brand new story. How far back you ask? February 28, 2003 is where the real GL stories stop and my stories begin. So I hope you check back often and enjoy the ride of "The Light". Sincerly, Josh

Interesting choice. She seems young but still interesting choice!

Ditto. Plus I love the Ivy/Victor/Crane connection. Wonderful!!! I can so see it!!!

My picks: - Hunt Block - John Callahan
