Career

Guiding Light

Pelphrey's most notable role has been the role of Jonathan Randall, the son of Reva Shayne and her late former husband, Richard Winslow, on the CBS soap opera Guiding Light. He joined the cast in September 2004 and received critical acclaim for his portrayal of anti-hero Jonathan.

He was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Younger Actor" in 2005 and won the award the following year in April 2006. He received a third consecutive nomination in the same category in 2007 but lost to Bryton McClure. Pelphrey won his second Daytime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Younger Actor" in 2008.

His character's popular romantic relationship with Tammy Layne Winslow (Stephanie Gatschet) was the subject of great controversy, as the characters were first cousins and siblings by adoption. Jonathan got drunk and got Lizzie Spaulding pregnant. Tammy promised Jonathan to help take care of the child. The baby was named "Sarah" after her great-grandmother Sarah Shayne. Alan Spaulding, the baby's great-grandfather, put a hit on Jonathan's head which led to Tammy pushing Jonathan out of the way and dying. Jonathan faked his and Sarah's death to escaped from Alan Spaulding. In 2007, Jonathan made a guest appearance. In August 2009, Jeffery O'Neil, who had been chasing Edmund, passed out in Jonathan's yard and that marked Jonathan's return to the show. After he and Jeffrey chased Edmund, he eventually returned home to Springfield along with Sarah to reconcile with his mother and let Lizzie see her daughter, with custody papers for shared custody. On September 18, 2009, Guiding Light ended after over 70 years of broadcasts.
