Shawn Christian back to ATWT?

Rumors are circling that one of soaphunks.net's 10 Sexiest Soap Hunks of All Time might be about to replace another one of that Top 10.

WeloveATWT.com is reporting that while Mark Collier will be leaving ATWT in January, his character, Mike Kasnoff, will not. According to a show rep, ATWT is already in the process of recasting the role. Apparently, the writing team of ATWT is interested in a Mike/Katie/Brad triangle. (As reported earlier, former DAYS hunk Austin Peck joins the show in January as (a much younger) Brad.) In what will be good news to longtime ATWT hunk fans, ATWT has apparently contacted Shawn Christian about returning to the role of Mike that he originated in 1994. No word at this time if the actor has accepted or rejected their offer.

Christian was voted No. 10 on the all-time sexiest list in early 2006 at soaphunks.net.
