On the previous episode of Guiding Light , Gus ( Ricky Paull Goldin ) caught Harley ( Beth Ehlers ) eavesdropping on Cyrus ( Murray Bartlett ) and Marina ( Mandy Bruno ).  Cyrus and Harley proclaimed to each other that their relationship is more than just sex, and Cyrus confessed to Marina that he’s been dishonest to her.  Harley told Frank ( Frank Dicopoulos ) to take care of Marina. Reva (Kim Zimmer) was still distraught over Jonathan’s (Tom Pelphrey) departure and told Cassie ( Nicole Forester ) that her son skipped town again.  Cassie was less than supportive with her response.  During a baseball game, Josh ( Robert Newman ) stopped Will (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick) from hitting RJ with the bat and sent the troublemaking boy to his room.  Will, however, climbed out of his window and tampered with some of the house’s pipes.  His tampering caused an odorless gas leak, and Josh and Reva passed on the sofa.  When Cassie walked in, she was stunned to see the unconscious Reva and Josh lying in each other’s arms.

Guiding Light , the longest-running drama in television history, will be breaking soap barriers at the end of this month. Beginning February 29, viewers will be treated to a brand-new look to the show’s daily episodes.  Say goodbye to the archaic three-walled sets and hello to the permanent four-walled sets with ten-foot high ceilings.  Gone as well are the 300-pound pedestal cameras, all of which will be replaced with handheld eight-pound mini-cameras.
