I agree that Hunt Block WAS Craig, he wasn't even asked. Bad blood I think between him and the producers, plus when they fired him last time, his girlfriend, Cady McClain (Rosanna) took off too.

As for Adam, they are bringing him back for Hal's funeral. They are going to deal with his passing now. I heard he will die off screen in the line of duty. Adam stays though

I too loved Hunt the most, but I remember Scott from early days, so it made the change a little more bearable. Here is what I think. The writers decided to make Craig less likeable than he had been, and thought we viewers just would not believe Hunt as evil (not that I see Craig as evil, even now, just selfish) and I think that was a big part of the reason Hunt was let go. He just came across as too likeable. BTW, does ANYONE know what he is doing these days? If so, please email me at Yoakaholic@aol.com because I may not be back at the message board.

Hunt Block left ATWT for one simple reason - $$$$$. They weren't willing to pay him what he wanted, so he didn't get a new contract.

He's well-respected in the business, but with the decline in ratings all soap operas are seeing, the money isn't being offered like it once was. Even some of the bigger stars in daytime are being asked to take salary cuts - some of whom won't do it. And there have been multiple shows that have requested an across-the-board percentage decrease for its contract cast.

Was it just me or did Carly look a little 'thick' around the middle as Grace Kelly at the costume ball. I know the actress is teeny tiny in real life.....is she pregnant? Could make for an interesting story-line if she is. If she isn't...shame on you costume department.

I seem to recall reading in Soap Opera Digest that she is indeed pregnant.

O.K. Is it just me or does it seem that every time I turn ATWT on, Adam seems to be played by a different character! It is getting a bit annoying. Also I do not like that he is with Jade (who is such a pain) after he found out all the trouble she cost his family. Plus I do not want to see Will dumped by his wife as she has an affair with Adam. It seems like the writers are heading that way. It would be nice if they had some time together before they split up again!

I do not like the new Craig either. When he first came on the scene he was so pale that he looked even scarier.

I read somewhere that Grayson McCouch got a pilot for next fall. Does that mean that something is going to happen to Dusty. They have not given him an interesting storyline since Jennifer died. Come to think of it, the writing has been dull, dull, dull since Carly and Simon left. What's up?

WOOHOO!!!!! I just read on TV Guide Online that they're firing the Craig recast and hiring back the original Craig, Scott Bryce. That is awesome news. I was always a huge fan of his and loved his work with Meg Ryan when she was Betsy.

I wasn't around in the Scott Bryce days but this new Craig is definitely NOT working for me. I always enjoyed Hunt Block's Craig and am so excited the role is being recast!
