Michael Fairman spoke to powerhouse Michael Park on the recent departure of co-star Austin Peck from As The World Turns.

MICHAEL: What can you tell us about the reports that Austin was indeed, “fired”?

MICHAEL PARK: Look, he did not get fired. We needed to facilitate Brad going away to facilitate story and unfortunately he was collateral damage. What a firestorm it started because the fans got very upset. But the story that happened because of that was so gorgeous that that death was so wonderful, and so many people benefited from it. Most of all, I believe the fans did. And it’s not over yet, because the Christmas Eve show will knock your socks off! The Christmas Eve show is one of our most beautiful shows of the year, I think.
