Call it another case of Internet fraud. Days of our Lives star Peter Reckell becomes the latest star to have a fake statement attributed to him as official. The fictitious work was more than likely created by a fan.
While the sentiment may have been on the money, Days of our Lives star
Peter Reckell (
Bo Brady) now says that an "official" statement attributed to him
last month was a fraud.
In an exclusive statement to
Soap Opera Digest, Reckell reveals that he doesn't often go on the Internet -- and that any online statements are more than likely not from him.
"I've had a couple of people online impersonating me. I don't know what to do," Reckell revealed. "Crystal [Chappell (Carly Manning)] told me she saw it. It showed up everywhere. Someone really went to a lot of trouble and I didn't even read it myself. If you see anything online, it is more than likely not from me because I don't do anything."
In the faux statement posted on NBC's web site, Reckell reportedly stated that he was being forced to take a few weeks off from the show because he was over the guarantee in his contract -- the maximum number of episodes he can appear in before having to be paid "overtime." Though the statement correctly stated the facts, the statement was not from Reckell.
