Join the GL Gals in Walk Across the U.S.

Beginning October 1, the entire female cast of Guiding Light joins thousands of women and men on a 31-city virtual walk across the United States to raise funds and awareness for the Gal to Gal Foundation (www.galtogal.org), which assists patients and families battling stage IV breast cancer. Kim Zimmer serves as team captain.

The actresses encourage fans to register by creating their own “Team Guiding Light” gal who can walk alongside them. GL cast members will also attend a New York City launch event at the showroom of eco-designer Robin Wilson on October 2.

Kim Zimmer Tells it Like it Is!

She's never been known to hold back, onscreen and off, so I am glad to see Kim Zimmer is in fighting form. On her official website, she has voiced her displeasure at TPTB for her lack of story and airtime, and just where Guiding Light is going, in general.

"Sour grapes? Damn straight!!!" she writes. "I have no idea what this regime is doing! All I know is that for the first time in my history on [GL] I am way under my guaranteed number of shows. I wish I could tell you all that the reason I haven't been on the show was because I was in rehearsals for some fabulous Broadway show or on remote for a great indie film, but the reality is that I've been sitting on my butt wondering why I'm not being written. I don't know who the powers that be dislike more: Kim Zimmer or Reva Shayne." 

Hopefully her upcoming story line, which involves her father, Hawk (Gil Rogers), coming back to town with a proposition she can't pass up, will cheer her up a bit. And hopefully it will encourage her to stick around when her current contract expires this summer.
