Guiding Light fans will get a triple dose of Survivor women this month. First up is two-time Survivor castaway (Survivor: Palau, Survivor: Guatemala), and fan favorite, Stephenie LaGrossa. LaGrossa guests on Guiding Light June 8. Apparently she'll be playing a waitress at Company. Following her appearance, two more survivors make guest appearances in Springfield this month. Survivor: Panama - Exile Island cast members Cirie Fields and Melinda Hyder show up on June 22. Fields plays a detective and Hyder will guest as a waitress. I'm a huge fan of both LaGrossa and Fields so this will be a nice treat to have them visit one of my favorite soap opera towns!

Reality stars are often making guest appearances on soap operas following their time on whatever reality show they starred on. What do you think of this? Do you think this is good exposure for them? Is it just a way to expand their 15 minutes of fame? Does it make you tune into soaps you might not normally watch? I'm really curious as to the effect it has on both reality and soap opera fans.

Share your thoughts on reality contestants visiting soap operas.
