Fans of As the World Turns' überpopular Brad & Katie (dubbed Bratie) were stunned yesterday when CBS Soaps-in-Depth mysteriously tweeted that Austin Peck, who plays Brad Snyder, had been unexpectedly fired from the show. The show has yet to confirm the news, but it's been confirmed by various soap news outlets including Soap Opera Digest. The firing is shrouded in mystery. However, TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco has now updated his Suds Report with what we'll call backstage rumors of the real reason for Peck's departure.
There is at least some silver lining for the Bratie fans. Brad & Katie (Terri Colombino) won't be broken up per se. The role of Brad will not be recast. The character will be killed off by Jack Snyder (Michael Park), who will then embark on a spiritual expedition. Last year's #9 on TV Guide's list of Soaps' Sexiest Men, Peck joined the cast as Jack's younger brother in early 2007.
Prior to his gig on As the World Turns, Peck was heating up fans living rooms on Days of Our Lives. Peck joined the cast of Days when Patrick Muldoon vacated the role of Austin Reed in 1995. He left the show in 2002 and returned for a one year stint in late 2005. Upon Peck and co-star Christie Clark's (ex-Carrie, Days) terminations due to "budget cuts," Peck's agent Michael Bruno landed him an audition with As the World Turns, where he's been since 2007. Peck then moved his family -- sons A.J. & Roman and wife Tara (whom he's reportedly separated from), to the East Coast upon landing the role of Brad.
What's next for the soap stud? With the daytime roles on the East Coast rapidly drying up (see: Guiding Light's cancellation and All My Children's L.A. relocation), a move back west might be in order. Could Austin fit back in on the Days canvas right now? With Sami juggling more men than Liz Taylor, I'd say no -- but, stranger things have happened.

As The World Turns
I must admit, when Brad Snyder first came to the show, i thought he was abit of a "Gomer", but as time went on, he became an interesting character, fitting the part well.
I to have watched this show since i was 7 years old. Now in my late 50's, it saddens me to think it'll be gone soon...

Brad Need's to be brought back on the show firing him was a huge mistake him and katie are a perfect role model
the viewer's are who pay your salary's you need to listen to them and rehire brad. him and katie are a perfect role model couple, are recognized for what other young couples want out of life and seeing it through brad and katie kinda gives them an example of what they have if they want it bad enough Kelly Tweedy

I can't believe Brad is gone and the show has been cancelled. I have watched Days and Another World for 40 years and when they cancelled AW I was crushed. I started watching ATWT in place of AW - now what? I'll only have Days left.... SAD

Brad
Brad was great!! Sad news that he is gone off the show. Life is life and if his marriage didn't work out in real life then it didn't work out. Everyone deserves to be happy and if it is with someone else then it's with someone else. Deal with it! Go Brad...I mean Austin. Merry Christmas!!

how stupid to fire austin
what are you guys thinking in firing austin? he is an awesome actor and plays such a good character. i don't see any rhyme or reason for this. however, i do know he will be missed and its terrible how you have left katie hanging like that. bad decision "big wigs" of atwt. maybe you should listen to your viewers and make an executive decision to bring him back like you have done so many times with james s.

I do not understand why you cant bring the character back from the dead.
I have watched as the world turns since I was a kid off and on through the years always catching back up with the show. I was always amazed at how well the show was written and the characters that were on the show were great. James Stenback is by far the greatest bad guy ever on the show or any show I have watched. So here it is if you can bring back James from death over and over again certainly you can bring back Brad. Now here lies the mess, I do under stand that he has created bad feelings around the set but it does take two to tango so the other woman is just as much at fault to blame. If you want to move on and get rid of Austin Peck thats not a great idea but its a move thats understandable, but you really dont want to get rid of his character. I have read alot of people being upset at this and as I am not happy about the move I will not stop watching the show but will just fast forward any scenes with Katie in it as long as brad's character is not around. I mean you just wrote him and janet and the daughter into the show who are really bad actors and alot of people dont like anyways so why not bring his character back. These are just the opinions of a long time fan of the show and ones that would like to be seen by many others. I am sure you will make the right choice for the viewers so god bless and I will be awaiting the new twist that will see brad back on the show whether or not it is austin peck or someone else. Thanks for listening,
Your faithfull viewer.
Your faithfull viewer.

Bring Bradf back
This could all be a dream Brad is having while in a coma. He is in Sweden where Vienna took his body for some experimental treatment. He is trying to reconnect with Katie but can't because he can't wake up. Vienna heard about Mic's "fountain of youth" and has him come to Sweden to help out Brad. BRING HIM BACK BEFORE THE RATINGS GO DOWN THE DRAIN!!!

I am so upset that cbs has droped Brad,I love the whole and Katie thing and was looking forward to seeing them with their new baby.
I think cbs has lost thier minds...first drop the GL and then try to drop Victor on YR.
And how cold hearted can you be with the story line you have now?!?!!?
when the GL was repaced I havn't watched any show that took that time slot,and I never will!
On the YR had Victor left,I would not watch it anymore!
and you killing off Brad the way you did was wrong,as a fan I seen Brad and Katie as a loving couple.
All of this makes me wonder if I want to watch any cbs daytime!I am so upset there isn't much to enjoy and I can do without it easy
If you can bring James S back to lift God knows HOW MANY TIMES???? for all the many fans that loves Brad you can say hes not really dead,after all you have him talking to Henry,got to say I don't like the whole ghost whisperer thing but I think you can make it work for you when you bring Brad back!!!!

WHY IN THE WORLD WAS BRAD KILLED FROM THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
The show has gone mad and so am I! Do you even care how long so many fans have waited for Katie to have her happily ever after!!!! I mean come on!!! They don't get to enjoy their happiness at all?! Look before it's to late just bring him back. I liked one persons idea of it all just being a dream but however it's done GET IT DONE!! James has died & come back over a dozen times to stir up whatever trouble need be so I'm sure Brad can be brought back for happiness and @ the request of millions of Bratie fans.

BRING BRAD BACK
Really, the producers needed to fire someone and they chose Brad of all people? CRAZY!
There is a long list of people I'd like to see off the show...but not Brad or Katie...and I love Carly and Jack...and Lucinda and Dusty...I love Kim, Bob, Lisa, Margo...and Tom...use Tom!! You've been busily getting away from the characters I love and have loved for YEARS and bringing in new ones I could care less about...
I am glad Carly is coming back from maternity leave...and that Simon and Mike are returning.
but could you try to use some of the greats that have been around for years? PLEASE!
and yes, bring Brad back.

Bring Brad back!!! If budget cuts are the issue this does not make good business sense. If he had an affair, he isn't the first, get over it and move on. He is one of the few actors that isn't tired from the constant reheating of old story lines. He darling, funny and an excellent actor. It has been entertaining to watch his character mature and bring out the best in Katie's character which was pretty boring before. There are so many actors that could easily be cut and not missed. Damian, Lilly, Audrey, Uncle Ralph, Terri, Maddie just to name a few. Send the kids off to school and bring Brad back from this nightmare!!! I have been watching since 1980 and was just about to write ATWT off because of the stupid story lines when Brad came on board and things got interesting again. If he is really fired, I'm done.

I am so mad, I cannot believe they killed Brad. There are so many other dull characters on the show to get rid of. I have watched it off and on but could never stay interested until the Brad/Katie story line. It's a great love story that does not have to end. Katie has had so many bad love matches and finally she found true love. You do not mess with true love if you want people to keep watching. And what is this about bring Simon and Mike back as if they could compare to Brad. Talk about brain dead storyline. Simon was a big boring kid. Mike got kind of boring too and he just did not wake up the charcter of Katie like Brad did. Who care whether Jack has a epitomy about shooting his brother that is a boring stoyline. Get real and find a way to bring back brad, he is by far the Sexiest guy on the show. This is whay people don't stay interest in ATWT, they get rid of the good charcters that people want to see more of and keep the boring one and try to liven up their storyline which turn out to be a bif flop. Bring Brad back, pleaseeeeeeeeee

I was hoping Katie was dreaming, an affair led to his dissmisal? Half of the nation should loose their job for that matter. I dont believe the producers of astwt are that naive to kill one of their best lead actor. If it's in fact a budget matter kill off holden's mother, she pops up occasionally and sit for lonely Meg. I like when Meg lashes out in rage she's good. Brad was an inspiration to those who can only wish of having it all one day. A tall, career driving handsome man.

Bradley
Like everyone else I was stunned when it appeared Brad had actually died. I have to believe there's more to letting Austin Peck go than just infidelity. Are we saying that this show, that constantly deals in immorality at every turn, is taking the moral high ground? Austin was great as Brad and Katie and he were one of the more interesting couples. Like those before me, I find Lilly irritating and whining, Meg is a drone or a cutesy little smiley one, and Janet's thought process during Liberty's pregnancy was enough to irritate the Pope. I realize they were trying to give both sides, but.... At lease Paul has now a great sense of humor and he and Emily are very good together. However, the show does need some better ideas.

I've watched Y & R for 25 years and started with ATWT's about 4 years ago. I love ATWT's so much, I stopped watching Y and R. Releasing Austin Peck (Brad) from the show was a crazy idea. The show will never be the same. He was the best male actor on the show and so easy on the eyes! I am very disappointed and will stop watching the show.

Ticked off in Wyoming
I agree with everyone, losing Brad was the dumbest thing the writers could've done affair or no affair. Infidelity is horrible but he didn't commit homicide! Find another way to hand down consequences but you should've left his character alone! I also agree with the comments about about the new Lilly and Meg! I used to like Meg's character but she's become weak and pathetic. The old Lilly was forceful and somewhat independent. Bringing this new actress who can't act changed her entire personality! Now she's as pathetic as Meg and can't go to the bathroom without the okay from a man! The old Lilly was not like that.

Brad
I beleive this was stupid. I really don't think that you care about your fans that have been so dedicated to you. Losing Brad, was really dumb. If he had an affair, then he stepped on big toes, that made sure he was off. Like or not, affairs, happen all the time. I'm 61 years old. Yesterday, was my last day to watch the show. The writers can keep putting Carley and Jack UGHHHHHH, how about Holden and Lily, how much does one have to watch with that, again ugghhhhhh. Writers director, producer, you will all be looking for a job soon. As the World Turns is probably over. Very Sad, because of hostility, or stupidity.

Brad Gone, Really?
Like so many other commentors before I could hardly believe my eyes when Dr. Bob called Brad's time of death. I've read that Mr. Peck may have been having an affair with some one on the show. If that is the reason for the firing then I ask you to please get off your high horse and solve this problem another way. Don't missunderstand I'm not in any way condoning infidelities I agree there must be something done but not to the extent of firing. So rehire Austin Peck apologize for the hasty decision and write him back in. Here's how you can do it---Katie's passed out in the dark warehouse from losing so much blood after giving birth, Brad enters the dark warehouse where Ralph is hiding Ralph grabs Brad, Jack finds his way in a back entrance Henry rushes inside through the front entrance calling for Jack, Ralph shots in the dark hiting Henry Brad Knocks Ralph to the floor and just as Ralph is about to shoot Brad Jack flips a switch and shoots Ralphie dead. Back up arrives they find Katie and the baby they're all taken to the hospital (Ralphie gets a free ride to the morgue) and all is well, except now there's an even bigger strain between Jack and Janet. I believe this will work What do you think?

I have watched ATWT since the mid 50's and it has always been my favorite soap. Lately there have been some very dumb/dull/long story lines. And some of the actors are boring--Janet, Meg and Lily for sure. Janet/Jack have NO chemistry, Meg is plain stupid and Lily doesn't know what she wants and is a poor actress. Killing off Brad is way out there. I kept thinking while he was holding the baby--his heart would start beating again. I watched GL every day also and they got cancelled, ATWT is on the same road,the writers better be careful. Start listening to your viewers, they are not stupid and you need them. And send Damien home with or without this new Lily. I would really hate to see ATWT be cancelled, it has been a great show for years--until recently. Make this show real and credible again.

Why Brad?
Why Brad when his character was fun, lively and interesting I'm done with this show the only character, next to Henry, that had any fun to him! What were they thinking? They should fire their writers!

Brad And Katie
Just when Katie seem to have some real chance of love, you get rid of her chemistry making star? This is wrong, Lillie and Holton you cannot let them be happy? I believe that happiness as well as all the rumors and lover changing in Soaps are a real possibilty!! Try and let some of these people have chemistry stay together! Please let the fact of what was done too lillie when Holton was pursuume dead come out and let that woman be happy!

What a mistake!!!!
I hope as the world turns realizes what a mistake they made.. Austin is a great actor. The whole Brad & Katie storyline was the major reason I kept watching. I am so sick of watching Holden & LIlly should they try again or shouldn't they, and it's just a matter of time before they try to pair Jack and Carly together again. I wouldn't doubt if they even try to get Jack and Katie together.. Enough is Enough. I think it's time soaps listen to what their fans want. I also think that it's only a matter of time before as the world turns goes out just like Guiding Light.. Wake up people!!!! If you can bring James and Paul back several times I suggest you find a way to bring brad back or you will have a lot less people watching!!!!!

Brad
I just can't believe that Austin Peck was let go. This man was a great actor and will be greatly missed. I hope as the world turns will start learning from the mistakes that guiding light made.. We as fans don't want to see the same crap. Holden & Lilly, Jack & Carly, it's about time you start hearing what your fans say, seeing as it's your fans along with your actors who make your show what it is..I wont watch this show anymore unless you find a way to bring Austin back. I've seen you bring James & Paul back many times when nobody thought it was possible. I suggest you do the same for Brad or you will lose not only me as a viewer, but thousands more will find something else to do with their time!!!!
Wake Up!!!!
Wake Up!!!!

I'm No Longer a Viewer
Killing of Brad did it for me. I started watching when Bob Hughes was a med student and I went through ups and downs, births and deaths but this one did it for me. I will no longer watch ATWT and I hope your ratings slide into the pits of hell. If the actor had to go, then recast; if the cast was too many, take out some of the weak ones. Brad was a main player and added so much to the show.

Brad's firing
I stopped recording Guiding Light years ago, now it will be the same for As The World Turns. Too bad they didn't learn from others mistakes. Congrats to Y & R, and Bold and Beautiful for writing stories that keep us tuned in everyday, and listen to their viewers. Oh well have more free time to do other things. Note to Austin Peck you were so fun to watch!

Firing Austin Peck was a huge mistake
CBS is really getting stupid. Brad was my favorite character, and Brad and Katie were the reason I kept tuning in. They should be ashamed of themselves. Budget cuts?! There were so many other actors that no one would have minded to see go. ATWT-- I don't care if Mike and Simon are coming back. I think you just lost many devoted fans. Consider this your kiss of death and we'll sit back and watch you endure the same fate as Guiding Light.

I can't believe they killed Brad off.
I am really upset about Brad being killed off. They need to do something to bring him back or they will be loosing another viewer. I completly agree with Rytah-Texas. You could have killed off any of the others but why Brad. He and Katie was the only reason I was still watching the show. Then to kill him off without warning. That made it even worse.
Oh, has Janet completly lost her mind. Why the hell would Jack include he had been drinking. I feel the situation would have happened the same way regardless. It was dark. Katie needs to blame herself really. Why would she go to a known mobster and threaten him. As if she was going to scare him with a phone call. This is when the soaps start to piss me off when they just become unrealistic. Oh well, it's all for entertainment purposes.

Brad Snyder
I cannot believe they killed Brad off. Get rid of the new Lily or Parker or Meg. Because ATWT does not know to leave well enough alone I hope they go off the air as Guiding Light did. Open your eyes TPTB. Bring back Brad, make it be like Katie was dreaming as she was in the warehouse and when she wakes up she will still be pregnant and Brad will still be there.

Keep Brad, lose the new Lily
The new Lily is a whiny, pathetic mess, and is played by a terrible actress who is not at all living up to the incredible storyline of the character she's supposed to be playing. Lily Snyder is strong, a fighter, passionate (whether it's Holden or Damian), and can put together a coherent thought/sentence. If you can't bring back the old Lily, dear god find someone else to play her.

Writing Brad off was stupid
Why would you write a person off the show and they just had a son and their family is coming together? There is enough bad things happening in the world today. People just want something good they can think about on a daily basis but I guess the writer's don't care about the fans and how the fans feel.

Brad
It breaks my heart that Brad was written off the show. He was great to look at plus cute, sexy and funny. Janet and Jack are boring together no chemistry. Katie and Brad made the show!!! Otherwise most of the other storylines are just corny (Vienna and Henry), boring - Emily and Paul. Dusty could be great of they gave him something more to do than chase the bad guy. He is a sexy devil - give him a love story (another one like the one with Jennifer). Brad's demise will sorely be missed.

Brad
Who cares if Brad goes? I used to watch ATWT in the eighties and nineties. I recently began watching again after about a ten year break. It is a bit boring, but I am now a stay at home mom with nothing else to watch. I wish they would bring in a blast from the past like Steve Andropolis or bring back the "real" Craig Montgomery. The Carly storyline about being an alcoholic was interesting, maybe they could do more with that.

Without Brad, ATWT's is going to be so boring.
Rumors of Mike and Katie again?...How boring! Yipes! That is almost as bad as Katie and Jack (that was so painful)Why couldn't they get rid of Jack instead of Brad. Brad was funny and cute. Jack is always pissed off and yelling and arguing. I like Paul, Henry, Emily, Katie and sometimes Meg. But if Brad leaves the show especially right after the baby is born, there is just nothing to keep me watching.

Katie and Brad..what a great couple. Now Bad is killed off? What is left in the show?...yet another repeat of Lilly and Holdren trying to get back together(we've seen that how many times?0) or will it be Jack and Carly fighting AGAIN..or Dusty saving the day...and I fast forward thru Luke and Noah (I am so sick of Luke and his whining)The show would be nothing without Paul, Henry and Brad. Goodbye ATWT.That does it for me!

Having Jack kill Brad!!!! Whose ideal was that??
Then Liberty lost her baby and her dad...... Katie dilivered a baby in a warehouse with nothing... who cut the cord????? and with what?????
I look for it to close if the storylines continue to be so STUPID
I have decided I am not watching it anymore yesterday Oct 23rd was my last day.... I don't understand why the writer have gone STUPID

Never let Luke or Noah go.
I can't believe someone would want Luke or Noah to go instead of Brad. And from what I understand, it's not for storyline reasons anyway. Of course it's not confirmed, but the website below tells the real reason, and if it's true, it's his own fault !!

He is going back to DAYS. In fact here is some inside news...when he returns to DAYS as Austin he will be divorced from Carrie. And it will be revealed that Austin's real father is Stefano's son. Remember he and Kate where involved in the past. She has kept this a secret from everyone. Austin will get involved with Nicoal. Which will cause issues between him and his new brothe EJ.
