We Love Soaps' Damon Jacobs had a chance to visit with David Andrew MacDonald at the 23rd Annual Broadway Flea Market and Grand Auction about Edmund's lack of an ending on Guiding Light and his role in Mamma Mia.

We Love Soaps: Unlike most of the characters in Springfield, Edmund was kind of left out there floating. Everyone kind of got closure except for Edmund. What do you think Edmund's doing now?David Andrew MacDonald: People have been asking me. I personally think I'm on the Amalfi Coast probably with a drink in my hand and with the millions and millions of dollars he never actually had during the run of the show. I figure he's started a few charitable foundations and he's just taking percentages off the top.
What or where do you think Edmund ended up? Share your own theories or ideas in the comments.

DC what do you think of this? Is this just talk?
GL to return to the screen?
The body is not even cold yet, but ATI’s James Romanovich is proving why TV Guide Canada chose the producer and soap fan as one of the most powerful men working in TV today.
Romanovich tells Soapgeist that he has pitched a new version of Guiding Light to TeleNext. Although talks are in its gestation stages, Romanovich says, “Don’t get excited yet, because this is a long shot but I have been communicating with P&G and TeleNext about the possibility of a new Guiding Light. New ideas. New format. New cast. Think 13 hours syndication. I’m not sure if P&G will want to work under our financial model. But we have a plan to keep the light burning, although it won’t be a revival of the old show. It’ll be more of a 2.0 version. We wouldn’t shoot it in the U.S. although the setting and the families will remain the same. Some liberties would have to be made just as we did when we produced The Ponderosa (prequel to Bonanza) eight years ago for PAX.”
Hey, as long as Ellen Wheeler isn’t involved, I’ll watch it.
Here is were I found the article.

UGH the Jeffrey/Edmund stupidity (set to the Miami Vice soundtrack no less, lol!) was lousy and wasted precious GL time! I liked Edmund/DAM, but seriously, the time could have been used for a History of GL montage.
And what was up with Edmund blowing Jeffrey a kiss?? They got more of a kiss then Otalia did, lol
