and I have no factual basis for this, is that they are going to recast him. My bet is that they didn’t do it immediately in case Peter changed his mind and stayed. Now that he is gone for sure, they can safely recast him. But we probably won’t see anybody new for several months.
I am still holding out hope for Peter to return. I mean it’s not like there are a lot of roles out there right now for a aging soap vet. Maybe he wants out entirely like Renee did.
