As reported by Soap Central back in February, executives at Guiding Light have approached three of the show's veteran performers that were let go as part of the show's recent budget cuts. While the news was welcome news to long-time fans, it doesn't look like the news was met with equal fanfare by the actors in question.
Meanwhile, another fired vet, Michael O'Leary (Rick Bauer), has not yet decided if he will accept the show's offer of a new contract.
After nearly 20 years with the CBS soap, O'Leary was dropped to recurring status in 2005. Chamberlin, a 14-year veteran, and Keifer, who'd been with the show since 1992, were both taken off contract in 2003.
Guiding Light does not comment on actors' contracts, so no statement was available from the show.
