INTERVIEW: GL's Robert Newman (Josh)"We will tape the final episode of Guiding Light, which will be somewhere close to the 15,800th in total, on August 14th. The final air date will be Sept. 18th. I've worked with some amazing actors in that time who have also proven to be amazing people. Some have died. Some have moved on to other things and some have stayed. Both on and off camera. I've had some fun experiences and great weird things throughout the years, but ultimately it's the people that I will miss. A second family, really.
"I have no idea what's in store for me. I'm excited about the unknown. I'm at peace with it. I just feel that this is part of my bigger journey and I'm on it for the ride. If I were to try to plan something, I think it would be a year or two on stage here in NY and then go from there. I'm looking forward to whatever is in store for me."
Nothing slows Lee Meriwether downWhen Lee Meriwether takes the stage in Reagle Players' production of "Mame," it won't be the first time she has played Mame Dennis. She played her twice in the mid-to-late 1970s, some 20 years after she first stepped into the national spotlight by winning the Miss America Pageant in 1955, which led to an extremely active television and film career. At 74, she's still very beautiful and a workhorse.
"Being on a fixed income, I had to cut down on my spending or get some work," Meriwether said. "I love to work. I do enjoy it. I love going new places, playing different people, meeting different people."

Lauren Collins previews the DEGRASSI movie
In the TV movie, Degrassi Goes Hollywood, the Degrassi gang heads to L.A. to score parts in Mewesical High, a fictional musical directed by Jason Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) under the mentorship of Degrassi geek Kevin Smith (Clerks). Her character Paige Michalchuk is purportedly a stylist.
"Paige left high school as head cheerleader," Collins explains. "After that, it was downhill. She tells everyone back home she is a stylist in Hollywood but she is really an assistant to a reality star named Hailey Montel. It is the harsh reality of L.A. It is a satirical look at L.A. but it is still DEGRASSI, so there are a lot of touching moments.
"The movie ends with Paige in a pretty dark place – I hope she can get out of that funk. Relationships that have bloomed for nine years are threatened. I can't believe I've been on the show for nine years," says Collins. "We're not technically on the show; the show is focusing on the younger generation but we tie up some storylines."
