CBS may soon decide to pull the plug on "Guiding Light," the longest-running daytime drama in television history.
While no final decision has been made, the network's deal for the Procter & Gamble-produced drama-the least watched of the eight daytime serials currently on the air-ends in September.

For instance, according to Schwartz, since the spin-off took place in the 80s when Serena's (Blake Lively) mom Lily (Kelly Rutherford) was in high school, it's very possible that she'll meet and even hang out with several characters from The O.C.
"What we know is ['OC' characters] Kirsten Cohen, or Kirsten Nichols as she was born, and Jimmy Cooper lived in Newport Beach in the '80s," he said. "So there's a total possibility that in one episode, Lily could have been friends with Kirsten or Jimmy Cooper when they were young. I would love to do that."
