Amy has a message for Helen M. Gallagher, the makeup artist who’s moving to GL:

“All of us will miss you dearly- we’ll miss your sense of humor, your wonderful insights, your sage advice. We’ll also miss how you made us look great even after a hard week of work or a long night of partying. We wish you all the best. And, to those of you at Guiding Light: Take care of her, or else… find another world!”

Why she has star potential:
Having taken over a character that once made teen angst seem like a ride at an amusement park, Carlson has helped Josie move from self-centered whiner to mature young woman. She walked right into a front-burner storyline, and has continually shown. she has what it takes to tackle whatever is thrown her way, be it drama, romance or schtick. Josie still has the quirky self- centeredness that seems to be inherent in the character; however, that quality now enhances Josie, rather than wearing on your last nerve.

Comments from co- worker: “I adore Amy. I think she has terrific natural instincts along with a commitment to the work, to doing good work Those things combined will take her very far.”
