News

According to Soap Opera Digest former All My Children star Jeff Branson has been chosen to fill the the long-awaited recast role of Shayne Lewis on Guiding Light.

Branson exited Pine Valley just this year this year. Reportedly, fans can see him in Springfield on December 1 as Josh and Reva's son, the on that had recently gone missing in Afghanistan. Branson is the seventh actor to play the character.

Shayne was last seen on-screen back in 2004.

After months of rumors, we can now confirm that Jeff Branson (Jonathan Lavery) is All My Children. Talk of Branson's departure had been generated by the Emmy nominated actor's almost non-existent screen time in recent weeks.

"Jonathan Lavery will be written off," an All My Children spokesperson said in a statement, as reported by soapcentral.com.

Branson joined All My Children in June 2004.

Becayse Jonathan is tied on-screen to actress Leven Rambin (Lily Montgomery and Ava Benton), many fans have speculated that Rambin will also be leaving the show. This is not the case, however.

"Leven Rambin is not leaving," a show rep said.

On February 17, Jeff Branson - who is leaving All My Children this spring - will appear at a Valentine's Weekend Event in Clearwater/St. Pete, Florida.

The event will benefit Lightouse of Pinellas, a charity that serves the needs of blind and visually impaired children in the area.

Tickets are $65.00 per person. For more information or questions, email event coordinators Patti and Barbie at designers.image@hotmail.com.
