As the World Turns alum Scott Bryce has died at the age of 68.

“A wonderful actor, a beautiful man and a terrific husband and father, Scott Bryce, passed tonight,” the actor’s pal Lucie Arnaz wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post on Sunday, per journalist Michael Fairman, reports Page Six.

“I am going to miss his eyes, his smile, his wit, his brain, his intelligence, his talent, his bravery, his laugh and his hugs,” the daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz continued.

Lucie, 74, also penned a special message to Bryce’s wife, Jodi Stevens, whom he married in 2003, and their son Jackson, 19, adding, “He’s watching over you now from a place of pure joy and will always be your guide.”

“But I hate these goodbyes. Rest in peace you marvellous, magnificent man,” the Jazz Singer actress continued.

Bryce battled Stage 3 esophageal and stomach cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2025.

After undergoing treatment, the actor shared he was “on the mend.”

Additionally, Lucie revealed in her heartbreaking announcement that his cancer had returned, according to Fairman.

A rep for Bryce wasn’t available to Page Six for comment. Arnaz did not return Page Six’s request for comment.

Bryce was best known for his role as Craig Montgomery in the longstanding TV series As the World Turns, which he starred in at different times between 1982 and 2008.

In the series, Bryce was involved in an on-screen love triangle with Meg Ryan’s character, Betsy, and Frank Runyeon’s character Steve.

Ultimately, Craig and Betsy part ways after tying the knot, and the latter ends up with Steve.

While working on the soap opera, Bryce received Daytime Emmy nominations in 1986 and 1987 for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

Additionally, he appeared in Silk Hope, Murphy Brown, Beacon Hill, Chicago P.D., Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Blue Bloods.

Bryce’s last acting credit was in a 2024 Law & Order episode.

The “Deception” alum and Stevens, meanwhile, celebrated 22 years of marriage last October, with the latter sharing a sweet tribute via Instagram.

“Today my heart is full — celebrating 22 years of love, laughter, and life with my best friend @beastdaddyo ❤️,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself and Bryce.
