the light shines brighter in daytime

Guiding Light appears to be on the upswing, with new actors, awards, and writing team.

According to CBS Soaps in Depth, daytime talk-show host Montel Williams is back on Guiding Light to play Remy's father Clayton on September 18, 2008 and September 29, 2008. Robert Newman's return date has been announced as October 1, 2008. Won't Josh be in for a surprise? The representative from Galaxy, a company working with Lizzie and Bill, is being played by Tom Wiggin, who formerly played Sam Kershaw on the soap.

Sam was an ex-con who dated Holly Reed after she was outed as the Nursery Rhyme Stalker back in 1999. His character's name now is Decker.

Guiding Light took several honors at the Golden Icon Awards. The show was awarded Best Soap and Best Writing Team. Nicole Forester (Cassie Winslow) won Best Actress.

Speaking of writing, CBS Soaps in Depth mentions Guiding Light's new writing team: Christopher Dunn, Lloyd "Lucky" Gold, co-head writer Jill Lorie Hurst, and co-head writer David Kriezman.
