Tom Pelphrey

Sarah Brown (Claudia, General Hospital) sat down with TVGuide's Matt Mitovich recently to talk Claudia Z. and her decision to re-sign with GH for another year.

TVGuide.com: Sarah Brown is never one to take her career moves lightly. What was important to you in deciding on another year with General Hospital?

Sarah Brown: Re-signing for me this time around was dependent on several major things — What's happening in the economy? Who would be writing the show this year and what kind of story did they have in mind for me? I like having a steady job. It's nice for a change, and that was a big part of the reason I decided to stick around. I love the people I'm working with and it is, after all, a great job for a single mom. I work hard, but I work locally and usually have much of my day free. Continue Reading...

Here's the Scoop! 09.30.08

It's the last day of September, my birthday month coming to a close so let's end it with a little Liason. Kate's been shot, obviously the trip to Italy is off...where will the angst filled couple go from here? As I've mentioned, Jason uses a visual aid, Kate in her hospital bed, to try to get through to Elizabeth. She walks out of the room and he thinks she's finally got the message loud and clear. Boy oh boy are boys dumb! Elizabeth pops up at Jason's office and informs him otherwise. She's here to stay. The paint fight is coming and the injury I mentioned yesterday? Well it looks like Jason hurts his ankle or leg. Will Elizabeth nurse him back to health? More meetings coming up for my favorite pair. They'll meet at the Studio before she pops in at his office.

Anthony in the balcony with a rifle. That was the easiest game of Clue ever! Claudia tells the fam that Karpov is innocent and she'll go to Sonny with the assurance that the Z's had nothing to do with Kate's shooting. Sure... just like you had nothing to do with the bullet in Michael's head. Continue Reading...

 

CBS Soaps In Depth is reporting that Tom Pelphrey has decided to pass on General Hospital's offer to play Sonny Corinthos' son with Connie. Pelphrey didn't want to be committed to a long term soap role. 

It looks like the door is still wide open for his return to Guiding Light for another short stint.

 

We were wondering how long it would take for a show to scoop up Jeff Branson after he left All My Children. Now we know. Soap Opera Digest is reporting that Guiding Light has cast Branson as the new Shayne Lewis.

It should be interesting to see what kind of dynamic Branson's Shayne has with Kim Zimmer's Reva in comparison to Tom Pelphrey's Jonathon.

Here's the Scoop! 09.11.08

Yesterday I dropped a RUMOR that Jax was gonna be a daddy. Will Carly be the mommy? RUMORS are saying that a CarJax reunion will happen, but one of them will be expecting a child first. Will Carly succeed in withdrawing her hubby's deposit? WIll Jax knock someone else up? 

Scrubs Baby... as I've said, she's arriving on October 29th. What about the complications at birth? From what I can tell it's all still happening as the HIV portion of the storyline isn't getting as much attention as some would hope. Will the writer's be playing catch up? The LATEST is that the HIV component of Robin's pregnancy will be addressed during the delivery and after the birth. Remember, while the odds of the baby being HIV+ are low, it's still a very real possibility.

Baby Shower? RUMORS say Robin has a baby shower towards the end of September. Continue Reading...

Is Tom Pelphrey on his way to General Hospital? This week's issue of Soap Opera Weekly is reporting that the show is very interested in snapping up the talented young actor.

Sources from the magazine reveal that Pelphrey would play Sonny and Olivia's son, the result of a long ago fling. Nothing has been confirmed right now, but I would keep my eyes on this story.

Join Daytime Confidential is wishing a very happy birthday to former Guiding Light star and Emmy-winner Tom Pelphrey. Pelphrey took the CBS soap and the entire industry by storm from his first scene on GL as the complicated Jonathan Randall, the long lost son of Reva Shayne (Kim Zimmer) and the late Prince Richard Winslow of San Cristobel.

Jonathan showed up in Springfield with a major chip on his shoulder in regards to the mother her felt abandoned him as a child. This belief, coupled with Jonathan's volatile upbringing at the hands of an abusive adopted father , caused Jonathan to seek out revenge against Reva and her family any way he knew how. He found the ultimate opportunity and ironically his greatest love in Reva's niece Tammy.

During these controversial and emotionally raw storylines, Pelphrey more than held his own with heavy weights like Kim Zimmer and Ron Raines (Alan). Pelphrey brought an energy back to Guiding Light that hadn't been experienced since the days of Michael Zaslow as Roger Thorpe. Here's hoping that this year will be bring about amazing triumphs both personally and professionally for the talented Pelprey.
