What happens when your soap opera character comes out of a coma? You go back to work.
David Andrew Macdonald, who played Oberon in Hartford Stage's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" this fall, was expected to join the cast for the theater's annual production of "A Christmas Carol."
But the actor's character in GUIDING LIGHT suddenly "came to," and so Macdonald is stepping out of the holiday show to return to his TV gig.
Macdonald originally joined the GL cast in 1999 as Edmund following a year on ANOTHER WORLD (he played Jordan/David until the show's cancellation).

ARE YOU SERIOUS?????????!!!!!!!!!!! 
Oh. My. Gosh. There are not enough smiles in the world to convey how happy this post makes me! I am so hoping
he'll be on for awhile and not just a short stint!
This is the best news in weeks! I haven't watch GL much lately - have about 2 weeks on the DVR - just haven't had a
chance or much of a desire to watch but THIS will have me rushing home from school & grading to see if he is on. Any idea when he will start? I agree about
him being on more then 2 or 3 episodes! Talk about a lovely birthday gift to us in November
