Fiona's Back On GL!---->Hutchison's Christmas appearance in Springfield was just the start!

Fiona Hutchison has signed a three-year contract to reprise the role of Jenna Bradshaw on Guiding Light, a character she played from June 1992 to December 1994. The actress was scheduled to return for only four episodes during the Christmas season, but was asked to make a long-termed commitment with the show. "Fiona and I go back to a very happy association at One Life To Live, which lasted a number of years. (1987-1991)," says GL's new executive producer, Paul Rauch. "She played an extremely effective character on that show and also on GL. I am thrilled to welcome her back. The audience should expect really hot story for her. Jenna is back to her old tricks."

Hutchison is thrilled to return to GL. "I'm really excited to work with the greatest cast in daytime, especially Kim Zimmer (Reva), and as always, Justin Deas (Buzz). It promises to be filled with a lot of fun and intensity."

Hutchison's been busy with several film projects since leaving GL, including the HBO movie "Rage," "Prey Of The Jaguar" with Stacy Keach and "Deep Cover." On stage, Hutchison has appeared in "Dial M For Murder" and "The Secret Rapture," among others. Since giving birth to her son, John Hutchison Viscardi, on September 3, the actress has finished filming the role of Elaine in the feature "Something To Believe In," with Robert Wagner and Roddy Mcdowall, and has also recently worked on Robin Leach's Gourmet Getaways.

All that with her son by her side. In his first few months of life, baby "Hutch" has accompanied his mother to Austrailia, Japan, and Malaysia. "He's got a passport; it's the sweetest thing," she says. Of course, Hutch is now in New York and "doing tremendously well," beams the actress. "Motherhood has changed me in glorious ways."
