Tom Pelphrey Returns to Guiding Light!




Springfield's favorite bad boy is back! Tom Pelphrey is returning to Guiding Light this summer to reprise his role as Jonathan Randall, according to CBS Soaps In Depth. Pelphrey was last seen in Springfield during the early months of 2008. What brings Jonathan home is unknown at this time but it will no doubt bring some drama to the small town.

OMG! GL must have moved heaven and earth to get his butt to come back to the show even if it is short term. Good news!

WOW WOW WOW Why? lol Glad to see him back, and glad to see that they is pulling out all the stops but why now? I'm surprised he would return. Good to have him back for a little. Now GL can finally put that horrible Sarah storyline to rest and Lizzie can finally have her daughter back! Looks like Ellen Wheeler the healer can sleep tonight...her show's future is good and her man Pelphrey is returnig as well!

I'm so glad he didn't turn his back on GL for GH that would have been unforgivable to me!!! Thanks Tom for coming home to momma when she needs you most. I can't freakin wait.

I love Tom Pelphrey and I sometimes liked Jonathan (but never Jammy), so this news excites me! I just hope they don't make him into the brooding, yelling and whiny Jonathan that was annoying! And a mother/daughter reunion for Lizzie and Sarah will be nice!

I hope this means Lizzie gets her baby back! I wonder how Bill feels about raising someone else's kid....

HALLELUJAH!! JON IS COMING HOME!! I hope he's bring Sarah back for Bill and Lizzie's wedding because Lizzie cannot get married without her little girl being in attendance at the wedding!

I'm excited to see Tom back on GL, but I just wish for no more of the Lizzie/baby mess, but I'm sure that's a futile wish. The writers seem to love that storyline for him. I say put him in some scenes with Crystal Chappell, not as a romance, but just some new storyline, get him away from all that baby mess. I don't enjoy him as much in scenes with Marcy Rylan. I wish they would bring Tammy back alive. The character and actress were just wonderful. I miss the Jammy romance. I could care less if Lizzie gets her baby back. That's not the rooting character for me. Tammy was the one I always rooted for. I'm sure Tom will bring it though like he always does.

Just bring back Tammy. It's been done in all the soaps, GL included. I know it goes against Ellen Wheeler's soap values, but come on just bring her back. I'll even forgive them for not bringing Cassie into the picture.

I agree DaytimeFan, talk about a wonderful heroine for GL, a true rootable character on the show. If GL did a Tammy return story right, they could move carefully on it like they did with the Otalia romance and have Jonathan and Tammy slowly make their way back to each other. A lot of story could come out of where Tammy has been all this time and what has she been through. I think Lizzie and Jonathan are frankly played out. I mean that's all we've seen in Tom's last few returns, and I'm a great fan of Tom's but I'm ready for something different. The fans don't want to see Jonathan and Lizzie 8.0 rehashed a thousand times. Time to move on from that.

Wow, if there was any proof that GL is firing on all cylinders it has to be the Tom news - one doesn't make these kind of career moves lightly. Wow, congrats GL, even though the CBS era is coming to a close, this summer is going to be awesome!

I am glad that he is coming back but please do not bring Tammy back i hated the kissing cousins that was just gross why not hook him up with his momma Reva since they have awesome chemistry too or maybe he could get with his sister Marah after all they did not grow up together either.

Wow!!!!!!
Thanks God that he passed up on GH. I wasn't ready for him to eat that show whole via Frons' orders. It's about time that Lizzie gets her baby back. I bet the show will hit a steady 1.8 now with Manny & Johnathan back.

I wish that a steady ratings increase could get the show a reprieve by CBS. If the network could just green-light one last pick-up like they did for ATWT, it would be a blessing. But, hopefully this will make the show even more attractive to another network to pick up.

I don't think Bill has problems with other men's kids. I think he adopted Emma or did some legal thing with her when he was with Olivia. Not that I care if Lizzie gets Sarah back or not. I would rather Jonathan always has custody.

Exactly Bill adopted Emma and was a great dad to her, something that is never mentioned on the show anymore.

I'm happy that Jonathan is coming back because a lot of fans has missed him. I don't need him messing with Bizzie's business but they need to somehow figure out a way so that Lizzie can see her daughter.

I admire TPs loyalty to GL

This is great news, I just texted it to my sister!
Glad Jonathan will be back, though JLH gave the spoiler away when she said in May sweeps that more of Reva's kids might be coming home.
It would be great to have Tammy really alive, I'd buy any story as long as Jammy are back together again! I'd love to see them follow GL to the next network also.

I'm happy to see him again. Now I want Tammy back too!! I hate the way EW and DK ended Jammy. That damn baby storyline ruined so many characters. And if Lizzie deserves to be happy(I don't but what can I do), than so does Tammy and Jonathan. And like it or not Jammy was important for GL.

Shoot me now! Hopefully he comes in, drops Sarah off in Lizzie's lap, and leaves.

I'm with Jorpa. If they're not bringing him back for him to reunite Lizzie with Sarah, I'm not interested. I think Pelphrey is quite overrated. All he does is yell. He and Zimmer love to yell at each other.

This is awesome news, I do agree with bringing Tammy back, but thank god we have writers now that only bring T up every now and again and not 19 times an episode.

I really do think they should bring her back, and give the Jammy fans a happy ending, the ones that stuck around deserve it, and the ones that didn't probably would come back to see their couple ride off into the sunset.

Anyways GL is on fire, and all these returns make me really happy.

Thank you Tom for returning and not going over to GH Wink

Alrighty! This should be interesting. I am anxious to see he & Shayne (JB)playing brothers with Mama Reva. Could be some fun there. Those two guys could totally rock it!

Also hope Jonathon reunites Lizzie with her daughter.(As far as Bill, not only did he father Emma but he also wanted to raise Ava & Remy's baby! He'd love little Sarah I bet.)

NO JAMMY PLEASE. She is dead and kissing cousins were just a bit skeevy. Sorry. Hated that whole storyline... and if they'd bring back Tammy...would Cassie be far behind?? No. No more of that please!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guiding Light is just so awesome these days!! (I don't think about September...I just don't.)

Maybe he's back to bring Sarah back to Lizzie or he's gotten word that their going to primetime and wants in on the action?

I am thrilled to see that Tom is returning home. I love him and am so glad to have him back on my screen. GL isn't going down without a hell of a fight.

I hope we never go down the Jammy road again. I like TP but I hope GL doesn't become the TP show again it has the tendency to do that. And if GL is picked up I hope he stays for a long time or just leaves because he always comes back for like a month.

This better not make Bill and Lizzie get messed up, they are finally happy. Just let Bizzie raise Sarah with hopefully their new "BIzzie" baby and let Jonathon leave.

At least this could make the Reva s/l bare able. Right now there is no reason to watch "dieing" Rva, imo
