ATWT Flashes: Peck News, Collier In?

Nelson Branco has big ATWT news in this week's Suds Report.

Could Mark Collier (ex-Mike #2, ATWT) be returning to the soap? Collier is arguably the most identifiably in the role of Mike Kasnoff, the role he played on ATWT from 2002-2007. The role was originally portrayed by Shawn Christian (Daniel, DAYS) from 1994-1997 and recently by newcomer Jon Prescott in 2008.

With Austin Peck (Brad) on his way out, Katie needs a new love interest. In the past, World Turns has asked Mark Collier (ex-Mike) to return to the CBS sudser, but he has always declined. However, the sexy and hung actor has had a change of heart! Word is that Collier has agreed to return to the show.

Speaking of Austin Peck (Brad), the actor is so hated by his cast that he had to sit at the DAYS table at the Emmy dinner. “The World Turns cast despises him so much that they refused to be near him during the Emmys. No one would talk to him. He’s being ostracized. They think he is the scum of the earth,” says one of Peck's former DAYS co-stars. Hey, it takes two to have an affair, people! Peck’s getting a bad rap, if you ask me.

Finally, someone spoke the truth.
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: Austin comes back to pick up Nicole after the truth is found out, which sparks jealousy in Sami.
