Shayne/Dinah/Edmund/Josh: Josh is doing everything in his power to keep his family safe from Edmund. Somehow Josh, with the help of Roc Hoover, has managed to hold Edmund captive in a secluded room. Edmund is chained to the wall and Josh thinks he finally has the dastardly prince under control. However, Edmund has another plan. He manages to escape and sets his sights on Shayne. 
 

Shayne, with Dinah, decides to take a trip to Bosnia. Before they leave, Shayne gets a call from his father. They speak and Shayne tells Josh where he and Dinah are going. Josh is relieved to know that they are getting out of town and away from danger. Shortly after Josh hangs up with Shayne, Jeffrey tells him that Edmund has escaped and just boarded a plane to Bosnia. READ MORE

Check out this shot of  Marcy Rylan (Lizzie) and Daniel Cosgrove (Bill) filming scene from Guiding Light on location at Universal Studios. DC's own Melodie snapped the pic. Mel is in Orlando as we type, covering the shoot. When I caught up with our girl earlier she was chatting up the likes of Robert Newman (Josh) and Lawrence Saint-Victor (Remy) after touring the park all day with her new BFF Soapcentral.com's Daniel J. Kroll. I can't wait until Mel calls in to the CBS/DAYS podcast this weekend with all the dish from her soaptastic Spring Break!

Welcome to the Spring Break edition of Mel's Guiding Gossip. Since it's Spring Break, I'll be leaving some special treats for everyone at the end of this week's spoilers. A gun shot, a confession, and a party add more fuel to the fire that is Guiding Light right now. Get ready for all the juicy gossip, rumors, scoops and spoilers for the week of March 16th.

Buzz/Alan/Daisy: Buzz and Daisy are on a desperate search for Grady. When things hit a dead end, Buzz has a complete breakdown in front of Daisy. He goes on and on about everything that he has lost. Unsure of what to do, Daisy tries to take Buzz home, but he isn't having it. Buzz is determined to take Alan down under any circumstances. Daisy eventually comes around to what Buzz has to say about Alan and gets an idea. She steals Marina's gun from her purse, goes to the Spaulding Mansion, and points the gun at Alan. Daisy believes that he is hiding Grady somewhere. Buzz shows up and this leads to a Cooper/Spaulding showdown. Alan proceeds to tell Daisy where to go and how to get there and, in turn, Daisy pulls the trigger. Has Daisy done Buzz's dirty work? READ MORE

In 1984, a soap opera story about four unique-yet-intertwined high schoolers captured the nation's imagination, and helped Guiding Light skyrocket to the top of the Nielsens. They were the Four Muskeeters: Phillip, a rich kid with identity issues; Rick, a loveable goofball who never got the girl, or if he did, Phillip stole her from him; Beth, a tragic young woman dealing with an abusive stepfather and Mindy, a spoiled, oil heiress from Oklahoma, who put the enemy in frenemy.
Starting today, March 6, those Four Muskeeters—Phillip (Grant Aleksander), Rick (Michael O'Leary), Beth (Beth Chamberlin) and Mindy (Krista Tesreau), will all reunite for their 25th high school reunion. Daytime Confidential.com caught up with one of GL's fab four, the ageless Krista Tesreau, who recently left her toddlers, Michael, 3 and 1/2 years-old and Julia, 1 and 1/2, in the care of her husband Glen Strauss, to fly from LA to New York to reprise her signature role for the auspicious occasion.

The Spaulding's are slowly making a comeback on Guiding Light. According to PGP Classic Soaps Blog, Zack Conroy has been cast as the newly SORASed, 18-year old, James Spaulding. For those of you who need a refresher, James is the son of Phillip and Beth. You might recognize the actor as Leo Morrisey, the boy who drugged Liberty last summer on As the World Turns. 

Matt Mitovich from TVGuide.com is reporting that Guiding Light's Bill and Lizzie (Daniel Cosgrove and Marcy Rylan) will be departing Springfield. Don't get outraged; they are escaping their families and running off to Universal Studios Florida, Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal CityWalk. After weeks of separation and ever-changing winter weather, the hot duo heads for the warm sunshine and they do it together. The location shots (bet you never thought GL would ever do that again) will air in mid to late April over several days.
