wow DOOL fires "carrie" and "austin" eta:story
Salem Shocker! Days of our Lives Axes Austin and Carrie
Austin Peck and Christie Clark by Chris Haston/NBC PhotoYikes! TVGuide.com has learned that Austin Peck and Christie Clark are being let go by NBC's Days of our Lives. I'm hearing that the popular actors, who play star-crossed supercouple Austin Reed and Carrie Brady, will likely be written off the canvas by October or November.
Some industry scuttlebutt blames their firings on budget cuts at Days. However, it's especially important to remember that James E. Reilly's replacement, Hogan Sheffer, has just taken over as head writer and Days is in the midst of a major creative overhaul. When a new top scribe takes the reins of a soap, anything can happen!
"I know as much as anyone else does in this matter," Peck's manager, Michael Bruno, tells TVGuide.com. "I was told by my client, Austin, that he was pulled up to the office and told by a Days producer that he and Miss Clark would be leaving.
"As of this date, neither I nor Austin's agent has received written notification of his departure," Bruno adds. "I can tell you that Austin loves working at Days of our Lives, but also loves the daytime genre. So if it is indeed true, we hope that another show will see Austin's tremendous assets and fan base and welcome him into their family."
Amen, brother. Without naming names, I can think of several actors the NBC sudser could cut if they needed to save cash or shave off dead wood. But not my Austin Pecs! That's just not right. He brightens up the Days of our Lives too much for us to let him go without a fight. Oh, and Christie's cool, too.
I have never tried this before, but I'm feeling just vexed enough to start my very own fan campaign here. Wanna register your displeasure with Days' decision to cut Austin Peck and/or Christie Clark? I urge you to speak out! My motto is, "Can't hurt, might help."

What's more shocking to me is that Christie Clark has been on DOOL off and on since she was, like, 8 years old!!
Some loyalty they show!! 
I don't even watch it and I'm mad!!

What is going on with Days? I just read the other day that Shawn, Philip, Mimi, and Jen were leaving the show also. I'm sure they could find others that need to go more.

Re: wow DOOL fires "carrie" and "austin" eta:story
I'm sorry the actors are losing thier jobs- but I stopped watching this show 10 years ago and stared up again when I was on maternity leave, and i can't beleive THE SAME STORY IS GOING ON!!!! Its time to move on...
And Christie Clark did leave the show for a few years.

Austin is ok, but I'm not really sorry to see Carrie go. She's just annoying- always has been, always will be.

As much as I love carrie and austin, I'm just tired of the same old storyline. I feel bad for the actors, but glad it will be one of many useless storylines put to rest.

Totally agree, I hate the faces they make and they are just annoying. Another one I CAN"T STAND is Philip (Real World) he is the worst actor ever.

I haven't watched DOOL in years...but whenever I turn it on I hardly know any of the characters. I know the oldies - but none of the younger kids.
