Beth Ehlers Joining All My Children
Thursday, May 15th, 2008
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.

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.

I will keep you posted when I get more information.

Clip of the Week
Friday, April 4th, 2008This week’s clip is not a classic clip, but is a clip of Harley and Gus of Guiding Light and a look back at their relationship. I thought since Gus died this week he should get some shine from me this week. I also think the writers should have never broke up Harley and Gus, because it basically ruin their characters.
Here is the clip.
