Austin Peck gains new Life!

In breaking soap news, Austin will bring his award-winning pecs to Llanview! That's the word from Soap Opera Digest, which is reporting that Austin Peck is joining One Life to Live in a new contract role.

Peck is best known for his stints on DAYS and ATWT. The 9-time Soaphunks.net Award winner scored a Best Hunk award for his role as the often-shirtless Austin Reed on DAYS. Peck followed up that role by showing off not just his hot body, but also his acting chops, when he took on the role of Brad Snyder on ATWT. Now, Peck will complete the network trifecta as he joins the hunky cast of OLTL.

Peck made waves during his ATWT stint due to his reported off-screen romance with co-star Terri Conn, who also recently joined OLTL as the scheming Aubrey. There's no word yet on who Peck will be playing, or whether he'll interact with his real-life love on the series. One thing's for sure: OLTL has a tradition of making good use of their soap hunks and it shouldn't be long before Peck is showing off his pecs in Llanview.

Peck begins filming at the end of January.
