Julie Pinson Joins ATWT Cast

1 Julie Pinson will join the cast of AS THE WORLD TURNS in the role of Janet on Thursday, May 8th. Her former DAYS OF OUR LIVES brother Austin Peck joined the cast last year and won rave reviews from fans and critics. Perhaps ATWT will also do wonders for the underrated Pinson. No word on who "Janet" is or who Pinson will be interacting with on ATWT. Aside from her DAYS role, Pinson is best known for her role as Dr. Eve Lambert Collins Thornhart on PORT CHARLES, a role she played from the show's inception on June 1, 1997 until her character was killed off on April 1, 2002. In early 2004, she played record producer Shiloh on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS, a role which lasted for four months. She is married to long-time soap star Billy Warlock.

Happy 35th Anniversary Y&R!
