John James - Dr Rick Decker
Watch out, Oakdale! Dr. Ric Decker (John James), a.k.a. Dr. Death, is making his way back to "As the World Turns" on Tuesday, July 15.

The charming Dr. Ric first showed up as a love interest for Susan Stewart (Marie Masters) back in 2003, and quickly nabbed himself a job at Memorial Hospital. And pretty soon ... patients and staff started dying. But no one believed the culprit could possibly be Ric. Even though the murders began right after he dropped into town. Even after they found out he'd been accused of killing patients at another hospital. Yep, this guy was that good.

Eventually, he was caught -- but not before terrorizing the living daylights out of both Susan and her daughter, Alison. Then, he was thrown in a mental hospital, where he later met Barbara Ryan (Colleen Zenk). Babs made Ric believe she was in love with him in hopes that he might help her escape. Her plan worked -- but Ric figured out Barbara's deception and tried to kill her, too. When that didn't work, Dr. Ric slipped away into the night, never to be heard from again ... until now.

In what can only be seen as a huge loss to the show, As the World Turns has confirmed that two-time Emmy winner Martha Byrne (Lily Snyder) will exit the show this spring. The confirmation is quite rare, as most shows are loathe to discuss the exit of their big-name talent. Everything about this situation, however, seems to be a little unusual.

“We made Martha an incredibly generous offer in hopes that she would remain a valuable member of the ATWT cast,” executive producer Christopher Goutman said in a statement. “Unfortunately, Martha has decided to leave despite our best efforts to keep her.”
