Another World is planning lots of surprises for it's final episodes - starting with the return of Charles Keating as Carl. Victoria Wyndham (Rachel) publicly announced the actor's decision to rejoin the soap at AW's April 24 fan luncheon, with Keating by her side. "Now that NBC is out of the way," gloated Wyndham, "[Executive Producer Chris Goutman] is bringing back Charles Keating!"
"He's coming back for about the last week and a half of air shows," adds Goutman. "Carl's disappearance was a loose end. We're going for happy endings, and Rachel's happiness is dependent on Carl's reappearance. I look forward to having him back. It'll be a nice reward for the fans." Rumor also has it that David Forsyth (ex-John), Carmen Duncan (ex-Iris), and William Gray Espy (ex-Mitch) may also return. "We're not bringing back any other veterans [besides Keating]," refutes Goutman.
As for the happy endings, sources predict big, splashy weddings for Cameron and Amanda, Sergei and Felicia, and/or Cass and Lila. But what if the show is picked up by another network? "People get divorced on daytime, don't they?" quips an insider.
