Tom Pelphrey returns to Guiding Light

I am a huge fan of Tom Pelphrey. He’s the young actor that played Jonathon Randall on Guiding Light. I just think he’s absolutely gorgeous. And, to be honest, I have no interest in GL without Tom or someone with Tom’s charisma and ability. Honestly, can they please get some new sets?

It’s been rumored for months that Tom was coming back to GL, albeit for only a short stay। And now we find out it’s true.

From SoapCentral.com:

Shhh! Tom Pelphrey has returned to Guiding Light, but it is supposed to be a secret. The news of the actor’s return inadvertently slipped out as news of a Guiding Light book detailing Jonathan’s life after staging his death was announced. The Emmy-winning Pelphrey exited the show earlier this year.

Though a Guiding Light spokesperson remains tight-lipped about the news, soapcentral.com has learned that Emmy winner Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan Randall) has returned to work on Guiding Light. As reported last month, sources close to the show had reported that the actor and show execs were in talks about a possible return.

An exact first airdate is not yet known for Pelphrey’s on-air return, however, the actor has already taped his first scenes. Those scenes are expected to air later this month. And in other news of uncertainty, Pelphrey’s return is slated to be only short-term, with the actor once again exiting the show this fall.

That’s unbelievable. I cannot wait. I was actually anticipating this the last couple of weeks when they started a storyline involving Reva kidnapping Lizzy to give bone marrow to Sarah. It turned out that Sarah didn’t need the marrow afterall, so what was the point of that? To pique our interest, no doubt.

Now, if they would only get rid of that gawd-awful Cleo on As the World Turns we’ll be a-ok.
