John James is scheduled to return to As the World Turns.

The actor comes back to the show as serial murderer Dr. Rick Decker on Tuesday, July 15. James was last seen on As the World Turns in November 2004 when Rick disappeared after his plan to kidnap Barbara went awry. Don't you hate when that happens?

Between his As the World Turns stints, James appeared on All My Children as the character of Jeff Martin.
