Justin Klosky (Joey Lupo) will be returning to Guiding Light next month. The return brings the actor back to the CBS soap for the first time in over a year.
According to Klosky, he did not get the opportunity to advance to the next round of American Idol because of his work on Guiding Light. Having been on television, Klosky was deemed to have had an unfair advantage when it came to the voting process: with about 3 million viewers and fans, Klosky could have potentially dominated the fan-based voting simply because of his previous television exposure.
Klosky, meanwhile, will return to the fictional town of Springfield in mid-March.
