Tues, Jan 29 - Casey - who has changed in both looks and attitude since he first went to jail - returns to be by Bob's side.
A rep for ATWT had no comment, but an insider tells In depth that JS(Will) and JL(Gwen) will soon be exiting the soap. Our spy reports that the popular couple will finish taping in Feb and air for the last time sometime in March. And if they leave as a happy family with Halie in tow, where does that leave JC(Sofie) the baby's mom? Well, seeing as Aaron healing Sofie's broken heart would cause more trouble between him and Alison, we'd guess a classic love triangle is in the works!

SOD Comment on Scott's Departure http://www.weloveatwt.com/cgi-bin/dc...rum=DCForumID7
"ATWT's Scott Bryce, who returned to the role he originated last April (25 years after he was first hired) has been let go. 'I love and respect the cast and crew of ATWT and hope the WORLD continues to turn for years to come,' he said in a statement.
'Like everybody, I'm very surprised. He is a great actor,' sighs Marie Wilson. 'But I'm just there to do my job!'
'I hung out with him a good deal, even though we didn't work together,' says Terri Colombino. 'I really love him, I'm sad to see him go and also that we never got a chance to have scenes together.'
ATWT had no comment other than to say that the impact of his departure would be felt 'long after he is gone.' A source notes that the exit, unlike so many in soaps lately, was NOT about money. Bryce was still taping at press time and no last air date has been released."
