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!
Great news for fans of Julie Pinson:
Not long after she left the role of Billie on Days of Our Lives, Pinson has joined As the World Turns. We hear she'll be playing the recurring character of Janet Ciccone and will first air on May 8.
This should be interesting for Days followers, as the actress will be joining her former on-screen brother Austin Peck who plays Brad Snyder on the CBS soap opera. We can't wait to see how it all unfolds!
Julie Pinson will leave Days of our Lives in the next few weeks.
According to a source on set, the actress is being written out as part of the show's continued efforts to trim its budget. The move is controversial, however, because the decision to write out Billie was made by the show's interim writers, who are substituting for the show's regular writers while they strike.
In 2004, Pinson appeared for three months on The Young and the Restless before beginning her stint on Days of Our Lives.
A final airdate has not yet been announced for the actress, as a series spokesperson said:
"Julie is still at work. We do not comment on contracts."
Forget about simply having her cake and eating it, too: Days of Our Lives actress Julie Pinson is also adept at making yummy, gorgeous tortes.
"I'm not much cooking-wise, but I'm a huge baker. That's my thing. I love to bake. I decorate cakes as a hobby," Pinson said to Soap Opera Digest. "I was so happy I was able to make a cake for a friend's baby shower a few months ago. That makes me really happy."
Pinson got into the art of baking via her late aunt Virginia.
"She was really fun. She used to decorate cakes for a living," said Pinson. "When I was a kid, she would take me to cake shows. Things like the Pillsbury Bake-Off and shows like that. That's how I got interested in it. And when I would go over to her house, she'd always be making cakes. She taught me how to make a rose and how to pipe icing; that kind of stuff. I loved it."
The actress sees her time in the kitchen as more than just making meals.
"Baking and decorating cakes is kind of my art," Pinson said. "The good thing about this kind of art is you get to eat it and it tastes really good. That's what attracted me to it in the first place. It's because I love sweets so much."
Julie even has a specialty cake that always impresses people when she makes it.
"When I went on The Martha Stewart Show last year, I showed her how to make my Tiffany box cake. I guess that's my specialty, since I did it on Martha's show," said Pinson with a chuckle about her aqua-iced concoction. "The icing is fondant, which is like an edible play dough. You roll it out and you can form it and make little characters out of it. It's like marzipan. It's made out of sugar and stuff."
