A lot of Guiding Light fans are entranced by Otalia. That's not a butter substitute, it's the "Brangelina-ish" name that fans have given to Olivia and Natalia, the lesbian couple played by Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia. Fans won't be able to see that couple anymore, since Guiding Light will air its last episode ever on September 18. But the actresses have decided to keep the storyline alive on the web.
Though as I said above, kind of.
Chappell and Leccia can't use the names Olivia and Natalia (Tele-Next, Procter and Gamble and the show said no to doing a web series), but they are going to portray a gay couple on a new web series. It's going to be called Venice, and will feature the couple living in Venice Beach, CA. The show will also feature fellow GL stars Jordan Clarke and Daniel Cosgrove (though I'm sure they won't be playing Billy and Bill).
