As previously reported, Julie Pinson arrives on As the World Turns on May 8. She plays Janet, a woman from Brad's past.
Of course, as many soap opera fans know, the actress does have an actual past with the man who portrays Brad. From 2004 until earlier this year, Pinson played the role of Billie on Days of Our Lives. And, until 2007, Austin Peck played Austin, Billie's brother.
Awkward!

What can you expect to see on As the World Turns next week? Let's take a look...
InTurn is back!
The Web-based reality show focuses on 10 soap opera hopefuls, all vying to win a 13-week contract role on As the World Turns.
The series, which will air online Tuesdays and Thursdays between April 15 and June 10, follows the actors as they head to New York City and attend As the World Turns boot camp in hopes of landing a role on the second-longest running soap opera.
The following 10 contestants will be starring in InTurn, as one of them will grab a contract gig on As the World Turns:
The judges for this season of InTurn are Dylan Bruce, Van Hansis, Kelley Menighan Hensley, Michael Park, Colleen Zenk Pinter, Marnie Schulenberg, and Jake Silbermann. To watch the show, go to www.cbs.com/originals/inturn3.
As any loyal fan of As the World Turns know, Katie and Brad are getting married on tomorrow's episode.
Naturally, a traditional wedding preview might include photos of the bide, the groom, the dress; you know, the usual wedding stuff.
But since when is a soap opera wedding considered "normal?"
With that in mind here's a shot of three of the bride's (four) ex-husbands (Simon didn't make the cut, sorry. Mike and Jack are scheduled to be the groom's best men, while Henry - who is taking the occasionl very seriously, as you can tell below - is tapped to be the Man of Honor.
When last we saw Daniel Hugh Kelly's creepy Colonel Mayer on As the World Turns, he was about to be hauled off to prison for murdering Cheri Love. Tough break on that one.
Before he left, Luke managed to scream out "I love your son!" in a heated exchange, as Noah looked on.
Nearly seven months later, the Colonel is coming back. Beginning on Tuesday, May 6, the actor returns to Oakdale as Noah's father.
Here's what As My World Turns viewers can look forward to next week...
Looks like today's As the World Turns taping was the first Noah and Luke episode taped after the successful media blitz by "Nuke" fans.
If the following photo is any indication, the next kiss (and more) may be on the way soon.
Consider this exciting As the World Turns spoiler: After jumping on Noah's new bed, Luke and Noah start ripping each other's shirts off. They're panting - and ready to have sex - when an ICE agent bangs on the door. Check out the clip now.
So, assuming this story line holds true, it looks like your voices have been heard, Nuke fans. Well done!
Fans have been clamoring for a few As the World Turns spoilers for next week. Here they are:
Here's a small As the World Turns spoiler:
We already reported that Julie Pinson would debut on the show on May 8. We can also now confirm that her character, Janet Ciccone, is the ex-girlfriend of Brad Snyder. Sounds intriguing to us!
Anyone familiar with As the World Turns knows recent Nuke concerns are not related to any sort of WMDs. Unless we're talking about Weapons of Mass Deliciousness, that is, in actors Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann.
But, seriously, folks. Legions angered soap fans have spammed the media with complaints about bias against Luke and Noah on the show, with many calling for a viewer boycott because this gay couple hasn't kissed in months.
TV Guide contacted CBS daytime chief Barbara Bloom to get her view on the controversy.
"I can assure you there is no homophobia on the part of the network, nor are we pandering to any group," Bloom said. "We have not censored As the World Turns or asked them to hold back in any way."
Bloom is all for having the two boys go all the way, eventually.
"I really hope the show will continue to evolve the Luke and Noah story, and that they culminate their relationship the way all couples in love do."
But in the meantime, the show has thrown yet another roadblock in the couple's path: Earlier this month Noah married Iraqi refugee Ameera (Tala Ashe) to keep her from getting deported.
"I understand why all this makes people scream," Bloom admits. "The only thing you're going to get out of me is that the pacing is slower with Luke and Noah than it is with other romances on As the World Turns. But that's good storytelling. We're in the business of getting people to watch more."
