Hunky Hutzler out at DAYS

It's official: the brutally hot Brody Hutzler has been let go from DAYS, a victim of recent budget cuts and/or debuting headwriter Hogan Sheffer's powerful pen.

Hutzler became an immediate favorite of soap hunk afficianados when he debuted in Salem in 2004. He won the Soaphunks.net Award for Hunkiest Newcomer that year, and won in 2005 for Best Eyes. He received a total of 6 nominations, including Best Hunk of 2005.

Hutzler has also been a finalist in this site's annual Adonis contest in all three of its years, something true of only four other soap hunks.

This announcement makes impending departures for Hutzler, Austin Peck, Jason Cook, and Kyle Brandt, as well as a bump to recurring status for Rhasaan Orange. This is no way to win Hunkiest Soap this year, DAYS!
