ATWT's Roerig, GH's King out; others to follow?

Confirming months of speculation, ATWT's young heartthrob Zach Roerig has announced that he will indeed depart the soap when his contract expires in April. Roerig developed a devoted following during his tenure in Oakdale, and he managed an 8th place finish in soaphunks.net's Adonis 2006 contest. No word yet on a recast.

Two more CBS hunks are officially attached to fall TV pilots. ATWT's Grayson McCouch is attached to FOX's "The Apostles," while Y&R heartthrob Thad Luckinbill is on tap for CBS's "Protect and Serve." Of course you should never say never, but if these pilots get picked up for full episode orders, then these two hunks would very likely be exiting their daytime homes.

Also announcing his imminent departuare is GH's Ted King, who will exit Port Charles in May when his contract expires.
