Members EricaKane4life Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 --> QUOTE(Chris B @ Oct 31 2006, 02:35 PM) This is SICK! He was painfully bad during his return on DAYS and I can't believe that ATWT a soap known for it's strong acting would cast him! I'm absolutely floored! I will definitely be fast forwarding all his scenes. But he's a major soap star with a huge teen girl following. They need RATINGS as well as great actors and that's what this is about. A lot of young DAYS fans will definitely sample ATWT to see Austin. I agree. I always believed he was Austin. Not to mention easy on the eyes and likeable. Yeah. Ratings, ratings. That's what this is about. A lot of angry pissed off Austin/Carrie fans will now be sampling ATWT because of this. To me it's not such a dumb move. And Peck isn't as god awful as people claim. He acts and says his lines very natural. He's just a HUNK. He can't help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah Peck isn't as bad as many are saying but when he is bad he is BAD. I don't expect to raise ATWT's ratings. I mean his return to Days did nothing for ratings. I mean I am sure he has following but not one that will help ATWT out with boosting numbers. CC would have a better chance at that but even she might not have that much of an impact if she is being brought on another soap as a new character when everyone thinks of her as Carrie on Days. They could've improved the hunk quotient with someone who was a better actor but Peck will not be horrible. Like I said, he has never had consistently good writing on a daily basis so he might do better then he has. Most days he is fine but there are moments when he is terrible. I think he will be fine even though I am concerned about him fitting into the role since it seems they are de-aging the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 No offense, but as a fan of DAYS & PSNS, you're used to the kind of acting that goes on there. ATWT fans are not. I like Peck, don't get me wrong, but he in no way has the chops to be on ATWT. He'd have been better served on B&B or GH IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 I thought Austin Peck stunk to high hell his first time around on DAYS, the only thing he did well was the "duh" look. But he was quite a bit better his second time around, from an observers perspective. With good material, a girl he has chemistry with - not the worse decision by ATWT. If they made this decision with the Austin Peck of 10 years ago, bad decision. It's recurring for the moment, right? So I'm guessing they want to see how he performs as an actor on their show...and with the ratings. ETA: Oh, not recurring, I guess. But all the same.

Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 Brad was briefly married to Carly when he was on before. Maybe they are going for a Jack/Carly/Brad triangle. Still,Peck is too young! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members King Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 Well, I also watch GL and Y&R. Sooo, that shoots down that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have to agree, I don't think he's as bad as some say. Sure he's not the greatest actor in the world, but I've seen worse on ATWT, Spencer Grammer is a good example, she can't act her way out of a paper bag. Great for Austin, glad he got another job so soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaysGal Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 I don't see Peck adding anything to this show nor their ratings. But, good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 I knew you watched Y&R ya little beyotch Hell, I watch DAYS and occasionally PSNS myself. And while I may agree that Peck improved this time around, I think he only improved by DAYS standards. I don't think he's at all prepared for a show like ATWT or Y&R.

Members dragonflies Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 Austin Reed was a character as we all know that was very badly written, and that was very consistent. Heck Austin Peck might surprise us and do better than he did on Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nixsoaps Posted October 31, 2006 Members Share Posted October 31, 2006 Well, congrats to him I guess. He did want to go back east, or so I read. As for Christie and Matt, if they want jobs on soaps, I am sure they will not have any problem with that. I am sure whatever CC and MA decide to do they will not have any problems at all.
