I have a report for you on the goings-on lately at Guiding Light. In the news this week are a ton of ins -- can you tell November sweeps are coming up? ;-)

Bold & the Beautiful Dr. Mary Ann Higgins (Mary Chris Wall) is Ridge and Taylor's marriage counselor, starting October 12.

Days of Our Lives Glorianne (Jeanette O'Connor) is a beautician beginning October 5. Carrie (Christie Clark) will return for the November sweeps.

General Hospital Carly (Laura Wright) reappears November 4.

Guiding Light Garcia (Al Lopez) causes trouble for Bill on October 5 and 6. Vanessa (Maeve Kinkead) will reappear later this fall.

OUTS

Days of Our Lives Tony (Thaao Penghlis) was last seen September 9. A Days spokesperson confirms Penghlis will be "off the canvas for now" as the actor has been dropped to recurring.

Guiding Light Ross (Jerry verDorn) is last seen October 13. verDorn is set to take over the role of Clint on One Life to Live.

NEWS & RUMORS

Steve Burton (Jason, General Hospital) and wife Sheree will have a new addition to their family next April.

After last week's announcement that David Andrew Macdonald (Edmund) has been let go at Guiding Light, it got me wondering how many stars the show has lost since they announced their budget cuts last year. The answer is eleven plus Mickey Dwyer-Dobbin, executive in charge of production for Procter & Gamble. These eleven stars aren't bit players either, they're popular, long-standing characters: Phillip (Grant Aleksander), Cassie (Laura Wright), Danny (Paul Anthony Stewart), Michelle (Nancy St. Alban), Bill (Daniel Cosgrove), Edmund (David Andrew Macdonald), Holly (Maureen Garrett), Alexandra (Marj Dusay), Rick (Michael O'Leary), Beth (Beth Chamberlain) and Ross (Jerry verDorn). Wow! The rumors continue to circulate (these are long-standing rumors by the way) that Guiding Light could soon be cancelled. The more pertinent questions are can a show survive with so few long-running characters remaining and how many more will get the axe?
