well to be fair here, he is absolutely right about Carrie not wanting to be around him. As for the girl half his age. well Abbie might be but I think she can handle herself with him. I think she is years ahead of Carrie in maturity. When he was Austin the first time and hooking up with Carrie, now that was definately child molestation!

I still would rather have Patrick playing Austin than Austin Peck anyday of the week!

I enjoying PM's Austin, don't know AP's version to be honest. Why is ok for soaps through out the ages to have a patriarch marry or have an affair with a very young ingenue and viewers are ok with the whole story...but if the pump is on the other foot in case of Abby & Austin, viewers are saying things like its creepy, don't understand. I like the story because Abby is of legal age and this is showing Abby's parentage, Abby is definitely showing her dad's traits, Jack would had use to his advantage to get what he wants and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I like it, maybe not as a romantic couple in long term but it has the possibility to have long term effects with a HOT LUSTY affair, maybe a baby?

I don't know, maybe its my bias against the actor, but I think his Austin is an asshole. His wife has never given him a reason not to trust him. His complete and utter distrust of her is just unreasonable.

I liked Austin Peck in the role, and that was when he was a baby in soap terms. Now he has gotten alot better because of ATWT. I would have really like him to come back, since he was the only Austin I knew up until now.

Austin Peck I know is from ATWT and I honestly loved him as "Brad" of Brad & Katie was excellent couple. I don't know him from Days, so I know I have read about him being terrible on Days, so I can't comment on his time but I have been enjoying PM's Austin and that could be from not knowing the character or history being new to Days.
