HARLEY AND MALLET'S

FIREHOUSE ROMANCE

Guiding Light's super couple of Harley (Beth Ehlers) and Mallet (Mark Derwin) lit up the screen for CBS during 1991 to 1993. They were without a doubt one of Springfield's most romantic couples. Their romance attracted viewers young and old.

Harley was the feisty, daredevil rookie for Springfield PD while he was the consummate professional for the force. Their story line involved danger, suspense, intrigue and romance, all the ingredients of great soap opera. When last we saw them they were married in the Springfield Courthouse and left on their honeymoon in Florida.
