Guiding Light has added another new writer to its lineup. Christopher Dunn had been named co-head writer and will serve as second-in-command to recently appointed head writer Lloyd "Lucky" Gold.
"Lucky and Chris make a formidable team," said executive producer Paul Rauch. "Together they will provide an energetic style of storytelling that both the actors and the viewers can really sink their teeth into."
"Chris has been a core member of the Guiding Light team for the past year and a half and has demonstrated a real talent for character development and plot structure," noted Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin, Executive in Charge of Production for Procter & Gamble Productions.
