"Outspoken Letters" response:
"Everyone knows GL has gold in the Danny/Michelle matchup. The very good actors who portray them, Paul Anthony Stewart and Joie Lenz, are capable of doing that silent "longing for each other" thing through any adversity that kids of any age (like me) adore. I'm hoping that GL keeps the purity of their loving and caring sacrosanct. If Danny and Michelle continue to be written with intelligence and emotional insight -- and that's a big if -- I think this exciting pairing has not just Lucky and Liz potential, but Luke and Laura potential."

Since Joie Lenz (now Bethany Joy Galeotti) made a huge splash as teenage clone Reva this summer, we were hardly surprised when Guiding Light decided to put Lenz in the role of Michelle when Rebecca Budig left in the fall. But even we couldn't have predicted how quickly she'd get up to speed.
In only weeks she's made the role her own and then some. Suddenly, the used-to-be-too-good-to-be-true Michelle is now a spunkier rendition of the former incarnation, and we're delighted with the change. As an added bonus, Lenz can more than hold her own opposite daytime vet Paul Anthony Stewart, who recently signed on as Danny Santos. So where does this leave Michelle's longtime love, Jesse?
Probably caught in the middle of a four-way tug-of-war (don't forget about the ever-scheming Drew). And we can't wait to see who winds up with whom.
