Austin Peck Clarifies ATWT Demise: "It Was Story-Driven"


As the World Turns' Austin Peck talked with Michael Fairman in the latest edition of Soapside at the Advocate.com and clarified the circumstances surrounding his exit.


I spoke with Austin this week. He wanted to clarify that his ATWT demise has nothing to do with his being "fired."

“I think when people see what is coming up with the story line [which facilitates my exit from the show] they will see that there was a lot of time and effort put into it. It was not a, 'Hey, we need to get rid of somebody.' It was story-driven, and it is just sad that my character has to be at the end of it. I think it’s the best story line I have seen them do in a long time, and some of the best work I have seen Terri Colombino [Katie] do for a long time. Julie Pinson [Janet] and Michael Park [Jack] also are terrific, as you will see. ... And while at the same time I am flattered to be a part of it, I am sad that I ended up on the cutting room floor! Everybody at the show has been loving, kind, and supportive, and they have expressed their shock and bewilderment at the decision by the show to end Brad. They have been really kind to me.”
