It's official! "Jack" and "Carly", known as "CarJack" to fans of the coupling, return just in time for some fireworks! Michael Park and Maura West have been back at the studio for some time now. What exactly did they do during their 3-month hiatus from the show? Hopefully, they did some resting because according to The World Of Oakdale Executive Producer and Headwriter Dusty Alford, they won't be getting much rest when their new storyline takes off. "We have a gigantic story for 'Jack' and 'Carly' coming up in August. Hopefully, it will break the mold for future soap stories like it." Viewers can expect "Jack" and "Carly" to return to Oakdale by the end of this week.





Cloris Leachman has wrapped up her short-term role as "Nadine Weaverton". Viewers last saw her on Wednesday, but she's not quite done yet. "Nadine" appears to "Roxie" in a dream later this week that will haunt her granddaughter for months to come. One thing's for sure, though. Leachman will be missed. Says one cast member, "She was a joy to work with. She came in and knew exactly what she was doing and nailed every scene, every time. We'll all miss her."





Word has it that TPTB at The World Of Oakdale are looking to cast a new role. The part is for "Jason", a young man in his early twenties that brings a little havoc into Mike and Katie's world starting in late July. TPTB are calling on YOU to offer casting suggestions for the new role.

Also, rumor has it that TPTB are so impressed with Spencer Grammer's rendition of "Lucy Montgomery" on As The World Turns that they might bring her on board if "Lucy" should ever return to Oakdale again.

Be on the lookout for a news release this coming weekend, announcing the departure of another Oakdale citizen.
