In a statement made through his official web site, Bradley Cole (Richard Winslow) has confirmed that he will return to Guiding Light next month.
Upon leaving Guiding Light in June 2002, Cole expressed a desire to focus on his musical career.
In January, Cole made a brief two-day appearance on ABC's All My Children, where he played an acquaintance of Erica Kane (played by Susan Lucci). There was immediately talk that Cole might be signed to a long-term contract to play opposite Lucci, but Cole had stated that he wasn't ready to make a return to daytime television at that time.
"It has been an incredible ride for me and I will surely miss it," said Cole of his GL stint. "I thank the producers for giving me a chance to be a part of this legendary show. And most of all, I thank [the fans] for supporting me, and taking this little voyage with me."
Cole has already returned to taping at Guiding Light. His first on-screen appearance is scheduled for May 2nd.
