It has been rumoured but yet to be officially confirmed that Austin Peck (Brad) has been released from his contract at As The World Turns.

Yesterday 'CBS Soaps In Depth' tweeted

Quote

"Holy crap. ATWT isn't confirming it, but we hear Austin Peck (Brad) has been let go."



Nelson Branco has also released a statement on this

Quote

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.

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.

Seriously Nelson needs to STFU
"Kendall and Zach? They're untouchable. Ok? They take the vow 'through good times and bad' to a whole new level. I mean, they've been through comas and affairs and tornados and bomb shelters...and rogue lesbian kisses. Any crisis you can imagine. I am telling you, nothing comes between Kendall and Zach. Nothing. Not even when they're apart. He's not alone. All right? She is there with him. Maybe not physically, but she's there all the same. They're inseparable, ok? Every single thing he does, every decision he makes is either for or about Kendall."- Tad Martin 8/25/09

I LOVE Austin Peck! this cannot be happening. I wonder who his married affair-mate who left her husband is... are we assuming it's Terri?

In all honesty, SID started it first. They ripped on him on Twitter for not crediting them for breaking the news when he Tweeted about it. And they certainly insulted him.

NB usually does deserve an STFU, but not in this case.

Never been that much of a fan of Nelson Branco, but I think Austin Peck needs to go back to the west coast. Maybe it's a little too late to go back to DAYS since it seems that DAYS has got their "strategy" thing going on with the famous returns of Carly, Lawrence, and Vivian. I wish Austin Peck all the best.

Soap Opera Digest has now more or less confirmed it:

Peck Out
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Austin Peck (Brad) has been let go. Sources say that Peck, who began airing in January of 2007 as Jack's newly de-aged brother, will be wrapping up his stint at WORLD TURNS in a shocking fashion. The role will not be recast. A rep for ATWT had no comment.

Does anyone know if the reason he was let go is true? I am questioning it simply b.c of who is reporting it.

BTW: Hai Ryan!!!! =)

Alright, if we're spec'ing...

I'm going for it. Its gotta be Terri Colombino. NB's article said something about "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." That's a total Brangelina reference. Onscreen couple goes offscreen while one's married.

Mmm-hmm! That's what I'm thinking too! It's just so weird because I remember reading past articles in SOD about Austin Peck and how he was religious. I'm not dissing people because of their religious views whatsoever, but I heard from a former cast mate of ATWT who apparently was very vocal about how he was backstage! And after hearing that, I was shocked because it just seemed so out of the norm.

And I also heard that Martha Byrne and Collen Zink Pinter hated each other in real life.

But I choose not to believe in gossip. It's just so ... unhealthy and so unlike me.

:lol: Who the hell am I kidding!?

I'm just REALLY shocked at the news! :shocked: I had no idea this was going on backstage!!

I think Tara hit the nail on guessing. I was going with either Terri or Julie Pinson, but I really think it's Terri, too.

Sad to hear that Jack is going to be the one to kill Brad off. That's just sad. :(

Well I wish Austin the best of luck. Sad to know Brad will be exiting this way though.

I truly miss her :( I hope she comes back and kicks some major ass before kicking Craig to the curb! Now, with Jack shooting Brad; maybe this will be something that will eventually lead Carly and Jack back to each other? I can hope can't I!? :)
