Marah Lewis

Marah Lewis is a fictional character on the CBS daytime soap opera, Guiding Light. The character is the daughter of the popular supercouple, Josh Lewis and Reva Shayne. Marah was born on-screen in June 1987, but this was subsequently revised to 1985 and 1983 when she turned three years old in 1988 and sixteen years old in 1999 respectively.

Six actresses have regularly portrayed the character, the most recent being Lindsey McKeon, who garnered two nominations for Outstanding Younger Actress at the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2002 and 2003. Ashley Peldon and Kimberly J. Brown each also garnered a nomination in the same category in 1991 and 1996 respectively. The latter reprised the role briefly in 2006. Days of Our Lives actor Martha Madison auditioned twice for the role—once in 2001 and again in 2009. Speaking on her latter audition, she revealed: "The second time, it seemed like I was probably going to get it, and then they canceled the show the next week."

Marah currently resides in Paris, France, working as a fashion designer. Marah has four brothers, Dylan Lewis, Shayne Lewis, Jonathan Randall, and Colin O'Neill. The character's last regular appearance on the show was in April 2004.

Marah Lewis's life was surrounded by controversy from the day she was born in 1987. Since tests, forged by Will Jeffries, made it seem as if she was the absent Kyle Sampson's daughter, she was raised alone by her mother, Reva Shayne. It wasn't until 1989 that the truth came out that Joshua Lewis was her biological father.

Soon after this revelation, young Marah was kidnapped by Will and placed in the care of Will's mother, Mrs. Anita Ebarra. Luckily, Marah was soon found by Josh's ex-wife, Sonni, Soon after, Marah was on hand to watch as her parents finally married.

Unfortunately, in June 1990, months after the birth of Marah's brother, Shayne Lewis, Reva, suffering from a severe case of postpartum depression, drove her car off a bridge during a family vacation in Florida and was assumed dead. Devastated by her mother's apparent death, Marah, who had just started kindergarten, bonded with her nanny, Harley Cooper.

In January 1991, when Josh moved to Italy to search for Reva (who was suspected to be alive and living there), Marah soon followed him, along with Shayne and their grandmother, Sarah.

In late 1993, Marah returned to Springfield with Josh and Shayne. In 1995, Marah was delighted to have a new mother in Josh's fiancée, Annie Dutton. That same year, Marah had an appendectomy and saw a vision of Reva. Later, after Josh's and Annie's wedding, Marah was shocked to come face to face with the real Reva.
