Soap Opera Weekly is reporting that Grant Aleksander will return to GUIDING LIGHT as Phillip Granville Spaulding in January 2009. "I love the show very much. I always have, and when I left [in November 2004], I tried to make it clear that there were no hard feelings," Aleksander,49, tells Soap Opera Weekly.
For more from Aleksander and how GL got him back, pick up the Nov. 25 issues of Weekly and Soap Opera Digest.
Aleksander had played Phillip on and off since December 1982. During off times from GUIDING LIGHT, he also played D.J. on CAPITOL and Alec on ALL MY CHILDREN.
He was nominated as Outstanding Lead Actor at the Daytime Emmy Awards three straight years from 2003 to 2005.
It's about time. Hopefully a reason to watch everyday.
ReplyDeleteI am soooo happy he is coming back---now I will watch the show again---this year's stories have been so bad and I hate the on-sight taping that I tivo them but then just erase them without watching them. Phillip has always been a favorite of mine so I will watch all of his story lines--Thank you Grant for returning---you have made my day !!!!!!
