Online comedy series, Misguided, follows super soap opera fan, Paul, as he pursues his dream to be a leading man on daytime television. The first season features several notable daytime actresses, and the upcoming season has just added one more name to the roster. Jean Carol, best known to daytime audiences as Nadine Cooper on Guiding Light will be joining Paul for the second season. Jean played the role of Nadine from 1988 through 1995, and made brief appearances again in 2003 and 2006.

“Misguided is fun and cleverly written,” says the actress. “It will be a treat to work on it.”

“I feel extremely fortunate to be able to add Jean Carol to my already amazing cast,” says Paul Gosselin, star and creator of Misguided. “My dream to be on Guiding Light might have ended when the series was cancelled, but I feel like I found this incredible loophole where I can still act alongside all my favorites from the defunct soap opera.”

Jean Carol joins former Guiding Light actress Stephanie Gatschet, who will be returning to the series as Paul’s best friend, Stephanie. Also returning from season one will be Ivet Corvea, as the casting director, Breeze.

A crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter runs from August 8 through September 22 and is currently over 40% funded. Information regarding the campaign and the series can be found here. Filming for the second season is set for the Fall of 2016 and the will be released on YouTube early 2017.
