Austin Peck reprises the role of Austin for DAYS’s new DOOL App series.

Soap Opera Digest: Let’s talk about the DOOL App series. When were you approached and what was your reaction?

Austin Peck: I had a great conversation with Greg [Meng, co-executive producer]. This is something they’ve been working on for some time. They finally pulled the trigger and they gave me a call. I think within the week, I was flying out to L.A. We shot eight episodes. They told me they wanted to insert me with Abigail and Chad. When I got the script, it wasn’t written normally like Austin. It had a lot of humor to it. I was very excited.

Digest: You hadn’t worked with Kate Mansi (Abigail) or Billy Flynn (Chad) before. What was it like to have new co-stars?

Peck: I loved it. I think any actor likes things to be mixed up a bit. The way it’s always been for me, 90 percent of the time, I’ve always been kind of attached at the hip to other characters, and to kind of be free of that was freeing. I definitely felt like I ran with it. They gave me an opportunity to play in a way I never really got to play at DAYS. Kate was, right off the bat, totally game, and so was Billy. Billy was kind of trying to figure me out the first day or two. I mean, the things he did and how we played off each other, I thought, was great. I hope it translates as good as it felt. It was special. They both are fabulous. We had a good time.

Digest: What was your reaction when you heard Carrie and Austin had split once again?
