FINALLY!
Soap opera veteran Grant Aleksander will be reprising his role as Phillip Spaulding on CBS soap Guiding Light. After four years of continual rejections, Aleksander will return to the role that made him famous in the coming months.
In 2004, in an extremely controversial decision, Phillip Spaulding was killed off in a "whodunnit" storyline. Months later, it was revealed he was alive. CBS and show owner Proctor and Gamble have made many attempts to get Aleksander to return to the show, but he refused. During his hiatus, he focused on directing. He directed for sister soap As The World Turns.
When Phillip was last seen, he was still suffering from the mental illness that stemmed from his marriage to Olivia Spencer. It is unclear whether he will be cured by the time he arrives.
I guess I can finally put GL back on my DVR.
