[excerpt]

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."

Soaps In Depth - April 6, 1999

Nobody's Clone ... Joie Lenz (now Bethany Joy Galeotti) brings her zest for life to Springfield's mismatched married, Michelle.

It was that same sense of maturity and youthfulness, all rolled into one powerhouse, that grabbed the...

It's hard enough for a run-of-the-mill, star-crossed couple on soaps to find happiness, but Michelle and Danny on Guiding Light carry even más than the usual share of baggage.

posted by simplequinn

Character Profile: Michelle turned the Bauer household upside down when she got involved with mobster Danny Santos. The sweet, simple dulces striper became a rebel virtually overnight, standing up to bossy brother Rick and tough-cookie mother-in-law Carmen por standing por her new husband.

Critique: In most cases, it takes a while to get used to a replacement, but the transition was immediate -- and believable -- when Lenz (now Galeotti) took over from Budig. It was at a crucial storyline point, no less: Michelle had just killed Mick Santos in self-defense. To Lenz's credit, we didn't even think...
