She created a sensation as the teen Reva clone, so the powers-that-be at Guiding light found a way to bring Joie Lenz (now Bethany Joy Galeotti) back to Springfield - As Michelle Bauer

Joie Lenz caused such a sensation as the teenaged Reva clone that Guiding Light was determined to bring her back. Since reviving the clone was not an option, plans were made to have the young actress create a new character. "They were going to have me be Rusty 또는 Roxie's daughter, but then they decided not to." Lenz reveals. "I started looking for other work,...

After last year's clone encounter, GUIDING LIGHT vowed to get back to traditional storytelling. Anyone who's looking for evidence that the soap is making good on its promise need look no further than Danny and Michelle.

This dynamic duo has good, 구식 supercouple written all over them. (Just when we thought this species was on the brink of extinction!) Consider: Danny and Michelle met under the worst circumstances – she accidentally killed his brother after he attacked her. They entered into a loveless marriage so Danny's mama, Carmen, wouldn't off Michelle. As fate would have it,...

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

Sitting in a trendy Park Avenue eatery, Joie Lenz is eloquent, well-spoken and seems wise beyond her years. Yet behind this mature young woman (who this week turns 18) is a cheerfully animated high school senior whose beverage selection seals the deal on her youthful spirit: a Shirley Temple, easy on the ice, please.

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 더 많이 than the usual share of baggage. Along with some friends, Michelle killed Danny's brother (whoops! but it was self-defense). And Danny's family is in the mob. Then, today, things get even stickier when Michelle is kidnapped.

Quips Joie Lenz (now Bethany Joy Galeotti), the charming and beguiling young actress who plays Michelle, "Danny and Michelle are probably doomed." Quickly, she amends that thought. "Actually these two might...

LET'S GET PAST THIS RIGHT AWAY. Guiding Light is not my personal cup of tea. But as an unbiased soap analyst, I think that GL is poised to have a very, very successful summer, especially when it comes to attracting the demographically desirable 12-17 age group. Moreover, I think GL could finally make some serious inroads into General Hospital's ratings, its time-slot competitor in most cities. Doesn't it almost seem as if GL is specially designed to take advantage of GH vulnerabilities? If you're a young channel surfer with a remote in your hand, what would catch your attention fastest? GH,...

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

CBS.com: Did 당신 have any idea that after your stint as teenage clone Reva 당신 would 가입하기 Guiding Light full time?

LENZ: No, not at all. They called me in early September and they said 의해 the way...


CBS.com: ...Rebecca Budig [ex-Michelle] is leaving.

LENZ: They knew her contract was coming up and she was thinking of leaving and so they said let's just check and see if Joie wants to do it. I said yes, and it turns out that I was able to because... Actually, they had asked me to come back as another character earlier in May 또는 June, but I was in Los Angeles shooting a pilot and I had to wait until...
