The June 24, 2008 issue of Soap Opera Weekly has a cover headline that says:
"CADY MCCLAIN: GL'S NEW HARLEY?!" Inside, the "Revolving Door" page claims that "sources" say that McClain (having just completed a ghostly turn as Dixie on All My Children) is on a "short list" to take on the role of Guiding Light's Harley. Beth Ehlers recently left the Light and her role as Harley to take on a new role at AMC.
McClain says she "cannot yet share any such news" and says that she "shall" be "grooving" with her band. McClain offers no news about soap opera work on her blog, either.
It's hard for me to imagine McClain as Harley, but then again, I had my reservations when she took over the role of Rosanna on As the World Turns. McClain's first turn as Carly's half-sister was brilliant, and won her a much-deserved Emmy. Through no fault of her own, two attempts to reprise the character were much less successful. The last return in particular was difficult to watch, as Rosanna-- a once-powerful businesswoman--became needy, clinging, and deceitful. If McClain does become Harley, it will be the third soap role she's played in less than one year.
