Phillip Granville Spaulding is a fictional character on the popular CBS daytime soap opera, Guiding Light. The character is the adopted son of business mogul, Alan Spaulding, and his first ex-wife, Elizabeth. Phillip has been portrayed by three different actors with Grant Aleksander the most recent to fill this role. Aleksander has been with the show since 1982. He left two years after his first stint on the show in 1984 and returned to Guiding Light only three years later in 1987. He would then enjoy a five-year run before leaving again in 1991. Five years later, he returned in 1996 and played the role until November 2004 when he was presumably shot dead at the Cooper restaurant, Company.

In July 2005 however, Phillip was revealed to be alive and well when he was visited by Alan.

As of 2007 it has been alleged by Phillip's 2nd son Zach Spaulding that he will be making a return. Phillip began sending threatening letters to taunt his ex-wives (only the ones who bore children by him) Harley Cooper, Beth Spaulding Bauer, and Olivia Spencer.
