BABY LOVE

The Guiding Light baby everyone has been talking about for months and months finally makes her appearance in Springfield this holiday season.

Of course, being a soap opera, it's hardly an uncomplicated delivery. As you can see from the photos above, Lizzie (Marcy Rylan) goes into labor at a most inconvenient location, with a pair of nervous birth coaches by her side.

Alan (Ron Raines) seems particularly unhappy about the whole thing.

In the end, however, this half-Shayne/half-Spaulding (and isn't that a thought to strike horror in the heart of any potential babysitters) pulls through like a champ.

Longtime viewers should approve of the name Lizzie and Jonathan (Tom Pelphrey) decide to bestow on their little girl.

To watch the birth of Baby Randall, you can't miss next week on Guiding Light!
