"I have just recently stumbled across Danny and Michelle on Guiding Light, which I didn't watch before, but because of these two I have added it to my soap schedule. I don't like all the storylines, but the Santos family and Michelle have quickly become my favorites. I really do believe that they are trying to do the right thing (or what they perceive as the right thing) for each other. She wants to try to make a go of their marriage, and he wants to let her go because she couldn't accept his lifestyle. Of course, I think Danny's perfect, lifestyle and all. But to me, it looks like the writers are having these young people "do the right thing" for each other, which shows loving and caring."
Everyone knows GL has gold in the Danny/Michelle matchup. The very good actors who portray them, Paul Anthony Stewart and Joie Lenz, are capable of doing that silent "longing for each other" thing through any adversity that kids of any age (like me) adore. I'm hoping that GL keeps the purity of their loving and caring sacrosanct. If Danny and Michelle continue to be written with intelligence and emotional insight -- and that's a big if -- I think this exciting pairing has not just Lucky and Liz potential, but Luke and Laura potential.
