Say it ain't so: 'As The World Turns' has fired one of daytime's most popular stars, Austin Peck (Brad), instead of the hacks who run this show or network. Discuss. Hopefully, 'DAYS' or an L.A.-bound 'AMC' will absorb the sexy bastard |
The Suds Report: August 14, 2009
*UPDATE* The real reason why 'World Turns' fired Austin Peck! Rumour: Thorsten Kaye and Susan Lucci to quit 'AMC'? Plus: Will Deidre Hall replace La Lucci as ABC's top star? Memo to Brian Frons: 'One Life's Crystal Hunt should be fired!
THIS JUST IN: BREAKING SUDS FLASHES
• 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. Click here to read my interview with 2008's Sexiest Couple Alive.
