Nancy St. Alban (Michelle) and Paul Anthony Stewart (Danny) have been let go from Guiding Light. The news was released through St. Alban's official message board, and comes as a great shock to GL fans everywhere. Rumors and false reports of the duo being bumped to recurring have been circulating for weeks.
The July 12 issue of CBS Soaps In Depth ran a picture of St. Alban and Stewart on the cover of the magazine with the headline: Danny & Michelle Cut! Who's Next? The report was later retracted on the magazine's web site. Rumors still continued to linger around the ever-popular 'Manny' and their status on the show. In the August 9 issue of Soap Opera Weekly St. Alban directly addressed the rumors in a feature interview.
