Chauntee Schuler is exiting As the World Turns, as the series is in the process of recasting the role of Bonnie McKechnie.

It's hard to really say why, though.

When the character returned in 2007, viewers thought she and Holden were gonna to have an affair, but the storyline was quickly scraped.

Instead, for the last couple of months Bonnie had a relationship with Derek Coburn, but the couple has only appeared in a handful of episodes over the last couple months. It's a shame.
