Martha Madison has joined the cast of "A New World Turns", according to Executive Producer/Headwriter Dusty Alford.

Details about Madison's character remain hush-hush for now, but Alford promises that viewers won't be in the dark for long. "Viewers will know more soon," teases Alford. During a break from taping her first scene, Madison told us that she was "really excited about the opportunity to portray such a character".

Madison, who was recently fired from the NBC soap "Days of Our Lives", is first expected to air sometime in March.
