Which East Coast newcomer botched his screen test twice but still landed the role? Apparently, the execs felt he went the extra mile when asked to give it another shot.

Which carb-concious veteran actress recently halted production during a champagne toast to ask if the 'bubbly' (i.e. ginger ale) was diet?

Any guesses????

For the first one, Austin Peck definitely, we all knew what a bad actor he was in the first place . . . .

Shame on ATWT.

The only champagne toast I remember recently from the soaps I watch with a female veteran was on Days, with Steve/Kayla/Benji/Whore at Chez Rouge. So, I'm guessing Mary Beth Evans?

The first one was 100% Austin Peck. It's soo obvious.

SO Austin Peck.

That is SO stupid. How is asking for another shot going the extra mile?

I really want to know what the casting people at ATWT are smoking if they think that messing up a scene twice merits getting a role. B/c anything that makes bad [!@#$%^&*] good, I want to be taking.

I don't think AP is going to last long on the show. I thought the show learned its lesson about hiring "eye candy". What makes it worse is that this is all for Katie, a character that most viewers dislike.

LMAO! That was my first thought.

Austin Peck was seriously my first thought too....weird.

LMAO @ all of you. But yeah, it's definately Mr. Wood, stiff as a corpse.

Q Steph, that is the perfect description for him! A walking corpse! He has NO presence and his eyes are so dead in his scenes. You can tell his brain is working overdrive so he doesn't forget his lines. ATWT needs to seriously feel ashamed for themselves casting such a DREADFUL actor. And they will probably stick us with him as much as they love Katie.

It also doesn't help that he's about 10 years too young to play Jack's OLDER brother Brad.

Everyone who said AP gets a 100. Isn't it obvious it is him?

Obviously Peck, yep.
