According to ANTW's latest interview with Oakdale Digest, fan favorite Scott Bryce will exit the role of Craig Montgomery sometime this week. The exit is storyline dictated. "We wish Scott well in all his future endeavors, but Craig's exit from Oakdale will send shockwaves through the town and leave tons of story to tell for months to come," promises Executive Producer and Headwriter Dusty Alford.

In other news, Martha Madison was recently seen leaving ANTW's new studio in Louisiana. Word has it that she and TPTB are in negotiations for Madison to tackle a role for the show. Madison was recently given the pink slip after a long, successful role as Belle Black on NBC soap opera "Days of Our Lives". Her exit strengthens rumors that she might not be ready to quit the soap world just yet.

Lastly, it's been quite a while since Oakdale has seen James Stenbeck. Could the villain of yesteryears soon return to terrorize the town of Oakdale once again? Rumors are running wild that soap vet Anthony Herrera, who portrays the dastardly devil, has said recently that he would love to return to his character's old stomping grounds. Only time will tell.
