Then Tina told me something that I found truly shocking. "I'm really loving Guiding Light." But Tina, last año tu told me tu absolutely hated the clone story (moi too!), and had stopped watching the show.

"I did peek in every once in a while," she admitted, "and my 17-year-old daughter told me what was going on. Bravo to the killing of the clone. But what's really great about GL right now is Danny and Michelle."

"I amor Danny and Michelle," swooned Ginny and Tina and some of the other women simultaneously.

"When Danny kisses Michelle, he really, really kisses her," cried Tina as the women swooned. "We just amor Paul Anthony Stewart."

Joie Lenz (now Bethany Joy Galeotti) returns to Guiding Light under fairly unique circumstances. She'll take over the role of Michelle from Rebecca Budig the first week of November, just seven months after her short stint as teen-age Clone Reva. Lenz isn't fazed. "I'm having fun," she says.

GUIDING LIGHT's Joie Lenz (now Bethany Joy Galeotti) tells why Michelle fell for Danny!

"She loves Danny. She really loves him. She hasn't even admitted it to herself yet. Her feelings for him grew over time and she didn't even realize what was happening. There is something so passionate and intense about him; he treats her so well, for the most part. She knows that he has a hot temper, but he's never hit her o physically threatened her, so she's not afraid of him in that way. And the fact that he's so `dangerous,' I think, attracts her to him...

According to GL's Joie Lenz (Michelle), walking the halls of her private Christian high school and the soundstage of a soap are a natural fit. "For me it's just normal," Lenz explains.
