Sabato leaving B&B

Italian stallion Antonio Sabato, Jr. has mutually agreed with the powers that be at B&B to dissolve his contract at the end of its cycle. After joining the cast in June 2005, Sabato became the sudser's No. 1 hunk, with more than his share of shirtless scenes. Last year, he received three soaphunks.net award nominations, including Best Hunk.

After also axing Mario Lopez a few months back, this leads me to one obvious question. Has Brad Bell been drinking some funny Kool-Aid?
