  We examine the existence and stability of discrete spatial solitons in
coupled nonlinear lasing cavities (waveguide resonators), addressing the case
of active defocusing media, where the gain exceeds damping in the low-amplitude
limit. A new family of stable localized structures is found: these are bright
and grey cavity solitons representing the connections between homogeneous and
inhomogeneous states. Solitons of this type can be controlled by the discrete
diffraction and are stable when the bistability of homogenous states is absent.
