CBS Soaps Watch

This week’s clip comes from Guiding Light. This is a clip of Annie Dutton testifying that she lied about Reva pushing her down the steps. You will also see Ross in the clip.

Soap Opera Weekly is reporting that Beth Ehlers (Harley on Guiding Light) is joining the cast of All My Children. Ehlers would be joining her former Guiding Light co-star Ricky Paull Goldin over at AMC. There was word that Ehlers might be recast as Liza Colby over at AMC, but she could also play another character. No word yet if Guiding Light plans to recast the role of Harley. This is another big lost for Guiding Light.

Eddie Cibrian (ex Matt Clark on The Young & the Restless) will be a guest star on the hit ABC show Ugly Betty as coach Tony Diaz, who interacts with Betty’s sister Hilda. It is always nice to see sexy Eddie on my TV screen. You can catch Ugly Betty on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. on ABC.

Ever since her co-star Ricky Paull Goldin (ex Gus) decided to leave Guiding Light there have been rumors that Beth Ehlers (Harley) will also soon leave the soap. As of right now Ehlers has decided to take a month hiatus from the show and will decide after that if she wants to continue playing Harley Cooper or maybe join another soap. I will keep you posted when I get more information.

This week’s clip comes from The Young & the Restless. This is a clip of Dru confronting her Mother for treating her bad for most of her life.

Beverlee McKinsey the original Alexandra Spaulding on Guiding Light recently died from complications of a kidney transplant. McKinsey also played Iris on the soap opera Another World. Condolences goes out to her family.

It is being reported that Canadian actress Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is joining the cast of The Bold & the Beautiful as Steffy Forrester. Steffy is Taylor and Ridge’s daughter and is the twin sister of Phoebe.

A few months ago I mention on this site that Brandon Beemer was rumored to be joining the cast of The Bold & the Beautiful, now Soap Opera Digest is reporting that Beemer is in fact joining the soap. Beemer is said to be joining the cast as a new character.

This week’s classic clip comes from Guiding Light. This was from way back in 1984. It is a clip of the couple Beth Raines and Lujack at the time played by Judi Evans and Vincent Irizarry. This shows the couple in love and enjoying the beach to the tune Almost Paradise.

There is Q&A video of Beth Ehlers (Harley) and Murray Bartlett (Cyrus) over at iVillage. They discuss the new sets and whats coming up with their characters.

Texas Battle is said to be joining the cast of The Bold & the Beautiful. The spoilers are saying that he will be connected to Donna Logan. B&B could use some more diversity in its cast, so I hope that Battle’s character can actually have a good storyline.
