Emmy-nominated As the World Turns actress Colleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara Ryan) was arrested last week on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

The 57-year-old actress was pulled over by police in Wilton, Connecticut, for erratic driving and crossing into the oncoming lane of traffic around 1:00am on Thursday, April 1. Upon suspicion of her intoxication, police officers asked Pinter to submit to field sobriety tests, which she failed. Pinter was taken into custody and charged with DUI and improper lane usage.

The Norwalk Hour reports that Pinter had a blood alcohol count of .119, which is over the limit of .08.

The actress is scheduled to appear in court on April 15. The actress could face a $1,000 fine and up to three months in jail.

Pinter debuted on As the World Turns in 1978. In 2002, she was nominated for an Outstanding Supporting Actress Daytime Emmy

she's too old for that mess! $1000? It should be higher and she should be forced to do community service in addition to any jail time if she does or doesnt get any

How is it before I even opened the thread I said to myself Colleen Zenk Pinter? I guess my sub-conscious labeled her as a drunk a long time ago.

Yall are late! We were discussing this in the monthly ATWT last week. It's ironic because just a few episodes ago, Barbara got drunk and told Henry that she's not stupid enough to drive while drunk.

Anyways, the court date has passed, so I wonder what she got. It'd suck if she had to miss the last months of taping the show, but you reap what you sow, so...yeah. Isn't there some kind of thing where you can postpone your sentence if you're needed somewhere else, like at a job or as a legal guardian?

She'll most likely be fine. T.I. was out for 2 years after he was sentenced before he went to jail! lol. When will ATWT last tape? August, July? I dont expect her to go to court till at least June. If she does get locked up, ATWT could write Barbera out and have her leave town, with CP pretaping alot of stuff to give the character of Barbera some closure for the finale. If not that, do you think they would bother in recasting her?
