Christie Clark and Austin Peck are returning. It's a limited run, unfortunately for Anna's storyline. [twitter=nicholsevansfan/status/776116126132559873] Edited by ShaneDOOLFan, Sep 14 2016, 01:17 PM.

Yeah, I am disappointed it's not contract. I would watch them any day over Rafe/Hope and Lani. |

I'd prefer Muldoon's Austin, and for this to be more than a limited run, but I'm certainly not going to complain about these returns. I can't wait for Anna/Carrie scenes! |

Nice they are returning but not really excited as I never liked Austin Peck. It will be interesting to see Carrie though without Sami shoved in her face for once. I like she'll share scenes with her mom too. |

Don't really care about them one way or another. I found them boring last time they were on. I'm more interested in the part in the corner where the new writers are interviewed. Did anyone read what they said? |

I am relieved in a way. This show sucks at returns over the past decade. They either end up destroying the characters or end up failing to utilize them after awhile and shipping them off anyway. I think they are much wiser to do this. Carrie and Austin have been destroyed enough times as is.

Anyway, this works fine. Honey, you look horrific.

I'm going to withhold judgment on the "revolving door" thing. If they do it well, keep it fresh, and maintain family/friend connections I'm all for some of these characters being on recurring. Bring them on for a GOOD storyline and then send them on a trip or something until another good story comes up. That way we don't get a ginormous cast of characters living their entire lives off screen (like last Fall when if you weren't Ben, Chad or Abby or Hope/Aiden you popped in once a month if lucky) because there isn't a story for them. I'd rather characters already on the cast role like Lucas (prime example) be written a good story and then have pop-ups every now and then instead of disappearing for months on end. |

Omg!! I am so thrilled that they are returning as a couple!! Carrie and Austin are the reason I started watching the show in the 90s. I am so glad they are coming back for Anna's storyline and not a storyline where someone Causes trouble and breaks them up. I am so tired and over that storyline, it has been done to to to many times to them.. this sounds more like a grown up story! Hopefully. I really hope the writers didn't forget that Carrie was pregnant when she left in 2012, so I am praying when they return they have a little one with them.. I don't want an excuse from them saying their kid is in boarding school or call it some crap like that. Ok well so for going on just thrilled they are coming back. 😄😄 |

I love them and what a great picture. I'm excited to see them. I just hate that it is a limited run. That means then that we didn't really trade Belle and Shawn for Carrie/Austin. And thus the disappointment in the fact we will at some point have neither which is such a shame in my book. With Phillip out and Chloe's status in question - what do we have then in the 30 age bracket beyond Lani? So Chad/Abby, JJ/Gabi, Lani, Sonny/Paul. The worst is that there was hope that Carrie would serve as a surrogate child for Marlena and this means then that we are back to no children for her except Brady who barely acknowledges them and Paul who seems more connected to John than Marlena which is understandable. If they can't do children for her then why not nieces/nephews, 2nd cousins, something. Did Marlena have any other siblings beyond Samantha? How was Tricia (Eugene's girl that Andre murdered I think) related to Marlena? Was that a niece and if so from what sibling? I'm getting the feeling that this is the new way. They have fewer contract characters and then just rotate others in and out. This holds down costs yet still gives the audience the satisfaction of seeing various other favorites. But story wise I think it is harder to invest when you know these characters won't be long term. Ultimately if the story is good, I'd enjoy it regardless. Wondering what exactly they will do with Anna that would involve Carrie/Austin. Hope it isn't an illness story. |

Exactly. Here's the thing...if they do more of this and less of bringing people on and letting them just sit on the backburner with nothing to do, than they can save money on the budget. For all the penny pinching they do with sets and all, they really do waste talent. I would rather they bring characters on like this and use them actively with a purpose for 3 months and then they leave with the opportunity to return again later than have them just sit around and either get destroyed or do nothing all while taking spots from characters that should be used or around. Doing this allows us to maybe get more returns and maybe not have so many instances where characters are missing where they shouldn't be. |

I'll be FF through the Austin scenes. I didn't like Peck as Austin or as Brad on ATWT. |

I'm actually happy it's Austin Peck...While Muldoon was my favorite Austin, he just didn't seem right in the role the last return. I think because I was so used to Peck. And so excited that Carrie and Anna will finally be sharing scenes. Seems like the writers listened to fans on this one! |

I'm another one glad for Peck. I never saw Muldoon (except in clips) and I wasn't that impressed with his last stint. |

I get where you are going here. I always think your posts are spot on. I guess my thing is if they decide to go this direction and save money - which is cool - then your base contract players need to be super connected to lots of people that would warrant other characters returning. And to have interesting stories that include others for an umbrella story then you need a group of characters and families that make sense. My problem is I don't see currently the base of contract players that can make this happen long term. The show needs a Belle/Shawn or Carrie/Austin or Eric, Lucas, Stephanie, Chelsea, Andrew, Phillip, Justin/Adrienne children or some Horton legacy children that can be the main drivers of story. The best example they have at this point is Jennifer/Abby/JJ which is good. But after that then what? I don't even count the teens so that isn't working for me. You have the Kiriakis family with just Sonny really that fits. By now Brady should have a long lasting partner that they stick to and someone who wants to be on the show. You have the Blacks with Brady and Paul. You have the Johnsons with Joey that I don't count. You have Hope/Rafe with Ciara that I don't count. See what I mean? The super couples like John/Marlena and Kayla/Steve have limitations since they are really past breaking them up, triangles, etc. The closest thing they have currently to reflect romance is Chad/Abby. They really haven't developed JJ/Gabi enough to get them to this kind of level. If they moved on to other partners no one would be upset really. I just think you have to look at the full landscape and say where are characters in their 30s? What couples are we going to develop for the long term. Looking forward to hearing what Dena/Ryan have in mind going forward. |
