Suds Report Update on Austin Peck

TVG Canada's Nelson Branco updated his weekly Suds Report today with startling information surrounding my #1 daytime hunk of all time, Austin Peck (Brad, ATWT)'s departure.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith who? Yesterday, Soaps In Depth tweeted their first major scoop since George Bush’s first “Presidential” administration: Austin Peck has been unexpectedly “released” from his World Turns contract. Suds Report has learned that Peck, who recently separated from his wife, Tara, is currently embroiled in a controversial affair with one of his married castmates which ultimately polarized the set. “Everyone wanted him fired because the woman he had an affair with left her husband, whom we all love,” reveals one actor. Another source reports another reason for increased tension on the Brooklyn set: “Michael [Park, Jack] and Austin have been at odds for some time.”

Reportedly, the cast is “universally happy” that the “home wrecker” has been let go. Suds Report reminds the World Turns cast that it takes two to tango, kids. As a rule, I do not write about actors’ personal lives — unless, of course, it affects what we see on our screens. I’m not really sure how Peck’s personal choices led to him being fired — nor do I understand why his female lover still has a job if Peck was fired. Reverse sexism much? But this is the wacky, nonsensical world of soaps, after all … I’m going to miss my Brad and Katie

As for Bradski, Peck’s pre-nominated Emmy role will not be recast. Spoiler alert: Brad will be killed by Jack, which sends Carly’s ex-husband off on a spiritual quest.

PLEASE CALL HIM NOW OLTL, DAYS, AMC, heck even Y&R! Transform him into a Liz Hendrickson, Billy Miller or Stacy Haiduk.
