Misguided

After waking up in the hospital with amnesia, Paul found himself wanting to reboot his life. This meant, saying goodbye to those who have been by his side since the "smoothie accident." Luckily for Paul, he found the support he needed through his therapy sessions with his new therapist, Tamara (Jean Carol). Paul is also starting a new chapter in his life with a new man. He's the happiest he's ever been, falling madly in love with a restaurant manager named Doyle (Justin Klosky). Unfortunately, it seems Doyle is hiding a bigger secret from Paul. Will this new version of Paul get the happily ever after he never knew he wanted?

Jeva Jones (Jean Carol), an agent who noticed Paul during his storytelling showcase, brings exciting news: CBS is reviving Guiding Light, and she wants to submit Paul for a starring role in the reboot. But the audition isn’t without its challenges—Paul finds himself up against his arch-nemesis and occasional fling, Bauer McBride (Christopher Robert Smith). While Bauer may have the looks, Paul has a potential advantage: Breeze, the casting director overseeing the audition, is an old friend. Just as Paul starts to feel confident, his life is thrown into turmoil by an unexpected visit from his mother, Mo (Jacklyn Zeman), who thrusts him into his own real-life soap opera... or does she? As Paul fights for his life, Susan Coochie reappears, offering crucial advice. The season culminates with Paul’s inner light being extinguished, setting the stage for a desperate call to #ReigniteTheLight!

Paul moves in with his best friend, Stephanie (Stephanie Gatschet), a former soap opera ingenue, hoping to break into the industry. He navigates the unpredictable world of showbiz through connections like Breeze (Ivet Corvea), a former lover turned casting director, and Gracie (Katy Jacoby), a writer for The Bold & The Beautiful. Paul's efforts include inviting Gracie to a storytelling show and attempting to charm Trevor (Chuck Saculla), a TV producer with a secret. Just as Paul's dreams start to feel out of reach, a reunion with two friends from his past in New York City (Melissa Claire Egan & Chrishell Stause) leaves him questioning everything. When all seems lost, a mysterious woman named Susan Coochie appears, reigniting Paul's passion and giving him new hope.
