With that in mind, here's the response to a pressing Guiding Light inquiry:

Q: Who are the fathers of Harley's children?
A: Harley's three children have three different fathers. She conceived daughter Susan (who now goes by the name Daisy) with then-boyfriend Dylan Lewis while still a teenager, but Harley gave the baby up for adoption to the Lemay family.

Sh's since moved back in with Harley. Harley's ex-husband Phillip Spaulding is son Zach's (full name Alan Cooper Spaulding) dad, while son Jude is the product of Harley's one-night stand with Phillip's best friend Rick Bauer.

Without giving too much away, here's a look at next week's episode on Guiding Light...

• Ashlee (Caitlin Van Zandt) befriends a mysterious stranger.

• Dinah tells Frank (Frank Dicopoulos, pictured) the truth.

• Remy brightens up Ava's day.

• Mallet attempts to start over.

Kane Manera is reprising his role as "G" next month on Guiding Light. Look for him to appear on June 2.

For those of you who don't recall, this character was Daisy's former, even boyfriend. He also mugged Ava and was responsible for murdering Tammy. Tough resume.

After Remy beat him within an inch of his life, "G" was exiled back to Australia. The returning character will immediately cause trouble for Daisy and, according to gossip, he may be related to Cyrus in some way.

Next week, here's what viewers can look forward to on Guiding Light...

• Rafe goes to extreme measures to protect Gus' name.

• Harley says a tearful farewell to Buzz (Justin Deas, pictured).

• Olivia (Crystal Chappell) lashes out at Natalia.

• Lizzie and Alan prepare to take their revenge.

Daytime Confidential has just received a big-time scoop on Beth Ehlers (Harley) will exit Guiding Light:

Reportedly, Rafe shoots Jeffrey O'Neal and Harley gets him out of town to protect him. The two are on the run for an unspecified period of time. In the end, Rafe somehow ends up back in Springfield, but Harley does not. Details are still unclear of how this angle ends.

We do know, of course, that Ehlers will soon turn up on All My Children.

Here's a close look at what's to come this week on Guiding Light...

• Ava backs Bill into a corner.

• Reva shocks Jeffrey (Bradley Cole, pictured) with a proposal.

• Daisy (Bonnie Dennison) is headed down a dangerous path.

• Rick tries to bond with little Peyton.

In her typical forward fashion, Guiding Light heroine Reva proposes to Jeffrey next week.

"They have this great day moving into The Beacon, and Reva decides they need their own song," Kim Zimmer said to The New York Daily News. "They have these cute romantic scenes figuring out what their love song is."

For example, Jeffrey pulls out his guitar and they make up a song. One thing leads to another, and the duo makes love. Jeffrey wakes up to find Reva making something at the table.

"Jeffrey has never mentioned having a problem with the heart in the mantel at Cross Creek that says 'Reva and Josh Always,'" said Zimmer. "But Reva makes Jeffrey this glitter heart that says 'R.S. Loves J.O.' and on the side it says 'W.T.H.?'"

That stands for "What the hell?," which is the couple's mantra.

SOAPnet recently sat down with the head writer of Guiding Light, David Kreizman (pictured). Here are highlights from the interview:

SOAPnet.com: Congrats on the Daytime Emmy nomination. What was your first reaction?
David Kreizman: I was actually surprised by the nomination this year. I didn't even know it was nomination day until I arrived at the studio that day. And we were in a meeting, so I didn't find out until a little later. Of course, it's always nice to be recognized, but it's a strange year for writers. I think we're all still healing from the strike.

SOAPnet.com: Can you sum up your thoughts on Guiding Light in 2007? It featured the 70th Anniversary episode, which fans seemed to love. Any other highs or lows that stand out?
David: It was a real transition year for us. We knew the new format was coming, so we were always working toward that. I'm very proud of the Find Your Light campaign that Ellen [Wheeler, executive producer at Guiding Ligh] started. I spent a few days in Mississippi, and it was a very emotional experience for everyone involved. I had a great time writing the anniversary episode.

I kept putting it off and then finally locked myself in a hotel room with books of Guiding Light lore to write the script. Losing Tom [Pelphrey] and Stephanie [Gatschet] was difficult, but I think we got some great story by telling the tragic end of Jonathan and Tammy.

Television's longest-running program will live to celebrate its 72nd anniversary.

CBS announced recently that it had picked up Guiding Light for the 2009 TV season, despite the show's sagging ratings. The series, of course, debuted a new production model earlier this year, much to the chagrin of critics.

Here are a series of recently-published Guiding Light photos in honor of this announcement:

Here are a few spoilers for this week's episodes of Guiding Light...
