If there's no future for Guiding Light, fans can still catch Emmy winner Crystal Chappell as she finds another home on NBC. TV Guide Magazine reports that the 43-year-old actress has signed on to rejoin the cast of Days of our Lives to reprise her role as Dr. Carly Manning Alamain.

She was featured in a romantic plot with lead character Bo Brady (Peter Reckell, Robert Kelker-Kelly), and in a complicated Byzantine storyline that featured her unknown secret identity as a European blueblood.

'Guiding Light' Spoilers

March 9, 2008

On the previous episode of Guiding Light, Gus (Ricky Paull Goldin) caught Harley (Beth Ehlers) eavesdropping on Cyrus (Murray Bartlett) and Marina (Mandy Bruno).  Cyrus and Harley proclaimed to each other that their relationship is more than just sex, and Cyrus confessed to Marina that he's been dishonest to her.  Harley told Frank (Frank Dicopoulos) to take care of Marina.

Reva (Kim Zimmer) was still distraught over Jonathan's (Tom Pelphrey) departure and told Cassie (Nicole Forester) that her son skipped town again.  Cassie was less than supportive with her response.  During a baseball game, Josh (Robert Newman) stopped Will (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick) from hitting RJ with the bat and sent the troublemaking boy to his room.  Will, however, climbed out of his window and tampered with some of the house's pipes.  His tampering caused an odorless gas leak, and Josh and Reva passed on the sofa.  When Cassie walked in, she was stunned to see the unconscious Reva and Josh lying in each other's arms.
