ATWT's Bruce Bumped To Recurring Status

1 Dylan Bruce, who has played Chris Hughes, son of Bob and Kim, on AS THE WORLD TURNS since last October, has been taken off contract. Chris is currently in the middle of a love triangle with Alison and Aaron, which has been one of the show's frontburner stories of late. First, Alison sued Chris for sexual harrassment, but lost the case due to Chris lying on the stand. But later, when Rick Decker was poisoning half the town with tainted jewelry (don't ask), Chris found the antidote and saved Alison and the other victimes. You get the sense that she and Chris are going to reunite, even though she feels a sense of loyalty and friendship to Aaron. No word on how Bruce's change in status will impact the story. Bruce will continue to appear on the show on a recurring basis.
