Phoenix, it is not a fan writing it....look at the bio on the page over to the right, it says that it is officially sponsored by TeleNext. They are definitely paying attention.

Here's the bio:

Guiding Light shines on in an official continuation sanctioned by TeleNext Media. Mindy fills you in on all the latest from Springfield!

I did click read more. It took me awhile to get to the beginning. I prefer to read from beginning to current. Also, is there a way to lock the page you left off to continue later. Sometimes I am under a time crunch and cannot spend the time to click read more etc. The synopsis will have to do when I get a chance to look at it.

I was following until I found out she was a fan instead of Mindy. It is cute, do not know anything about it being an attraction toward bringing back the real show, have not read yet where PG execs are watching this twitter.

I just kept going to 'read more" until I got to the beginning of the posts and was able to start tere. Or, if you don't want to do that, go there now and se has a link posted for a synopsis.

I don't think that there is any way to do that. I think you just have to read backwards!

I just signed up. I am not sure I will read much. How to reverse the format to read from the beginning?

You're probably having no luck because we all know her and talk about her as "Mindy," but her Twitter name doesn't have "Mindy" in it anywhere--she's writing under the name "MelindaSueLewis." This link should get you there: http://twitter.com/MelindaSueLewis

Hope you enjoy it!

Ok - I bit the bullet and got myself a twitter account but can't seem to find Mindy. What am I doing wrong?

I don't think that Twitter is the best forum in the long run but it is a "fix" for now and if it garners attention...I am all for that! If P&G are looking at web content in the future, I'd be there.

When she posts, she posts about 10 posts at a time. She posts about 3X/week. It is a lot! I have to admit, I do not read them all anymore, it is like CCs tweets, too much info!

I signed on! I hope lots of people will do the same!

Reading Mindy's posts has definitely helped me with my withdrawals. And I agree--it's nice to see a writer getting Guiding Light history right for a change! I think she writes every weekday, so we can read it every weekday just like we'd watch GL. Not the same, but at least it's *something* for now.

I do think there's a real chance that P&G Productions would bring GL back as a webseries, if enough fans show online interest by signing up to follow MelindaSueLewis. They've already said that online stuff is where their focus is now--so why wouldn't they bring back GL, which already has an established audience?

Here's the article about P&G Productions focusing on web stuff:

And here's a blog entry by Dave Knox, the "Brand Manager--Digital Innovation at P&G Productions," who is following MelindaSueLewis--he talks about how...

I just added it to my Tweets to follow. Maybe it'll help with the GL withdrawal. Thanks!

How often is this updated? A few posts a week? It would be great if more people were following. We could discuss it here and hopefully generate interest. It would be good to get the word out.

I read the whole thing and enjoyed it too - too bad they didn't have Mindy writing the scripts - she knows all the background of the characters lots better than the writers did!!!

I just read the whole thing and enjoyed it. It's not GL, but it brings a little bit of it back! Fun!

Just wanted everyone to know that Guiding Light is not officially over--TeleNext/P&G are officially continuing storyline on Twitter in the form of narrative posts by "MelindaSueLewis." Basically, Mindy is telling us what she sees going on around her--complete with conversations between characters. (Lizzie just had her new baby but is obsessing over Sarah, Phillip is thinking of giving all the Spaulding money away, Billy and Vanessa are around, etc. Reva and Josh are mentioned, but still off on their adventure.)

The reason why it matters that "Melinda Sue Lewis" is posting is because we know that the Big Boys at P&G Productions are watching those posts, and are probably keeping track of how many "followers" Mindy has. They are probably trying to gauge how much of an audience Guiding Light would have if they brought it back as a web series.
