A fan site dedicated to As the World Turns’ Luke Snyder and Dr Reid Oliver and their quirky, endearing, and captivating romance. An ongoing work in process.
Like VANtober, the first week of March looks to be a big week for Eric Sheffer Stevens (though “Eric” and “March” don’t smush together quite so nicely!)
Mere days after the March 6th return of I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER, Silent House will have it’s official theatrical release – on March 9th.
I just went to check the US release date on IMDb and was stunned (and both thrilled and terrified) to see that a UK release date of May 4th had been announced. The film also has an Irish debut of March 16th listed, a week after the US release. So it looks like Open Road Films is making an investment to make their acquisition a success worldwide and it’s great news for overseas fans hoping to catch Eric on the big screen! Woo hoo!
In the meantime, the official poster has been released…
…and IMDb also lists six reviews and two trailers (both of which will be covered in a later post). This made me curious, so I checked Rottentomatoes.com
The VERY good news so far is that it has an 88% “want to see” user rating (which I would definitely attribute to more than Eric’s diehard fanbase” and the critic reviews are running 4 for 4 fresh. So while there aren’t enough reviews to register a Tomatometer rating, it’s 100% Fresh so far!
How id I miss this one? Thanks to Paris at VanHansis.com for the alert. If you visit www.worldturns.net you will see the following message:
Welcome to WorldTurns.nl The Online Home of "As the World Turns"
For a limited preview period worldturns.nl will be offering free online viewing of select As The World Turns episodes.
Our site begins with the first five episodes that originally aired in January 2005, and each week we will be releasing additional episodes from the series for your enjoyment. In addition, we will also be adding memorable classic episodes from the As The World Turns library which originally aired in the US. Our current classic episode is “Classic ATWT Wedding — Tom Hughes Marries Margo Montgomery” which was originally broadcast on June 1, 1983
Please enjoy these episodes, and be sure to come back soon to see more classic episodes and for access the As The World Turns video library.
I thought that for sure this would be IP restricted to Dutch viewers, but I was very, very, very happy to find that this was not the case, and I was able to register from the UK.
Among the four classic episodes currently featured are the (only, I think) episodes for the US-released DVD collections that feature BOTH Luke and Reid – though not together :(.
The super-classic episode where Van Hansis’s Luke comes out (from the "Secrets and Scandals” DVD) is featured, along with Bob and Kim’s anniversary party (where Eric Sheffer Stevens’s gate-crashing Reid gets in some great jabs at Chris – “I always knew you were a bastard”…while eating….again!).
I thought the whole “we’re not married” storyline was completely lame, as they basically dropped it after 2-3 episodes. It could have had potential if Bob and Kim had been more frontburner, and really explored their relationship, but oh well. At least we got another Renry moment!
It’s been widely reported that I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHER, will be returning to screens as part of FOX’s spring schedule. The show will be shifting nights from Wednesday to Tuesday, but will continue to benefit from following X FACTOR (even without Paula Abdul), with the comedy RAISING HOPE thrown in the middle.
The first episode of the second half of the season is schedule to air on Tuesday, 6th March at 8.30pm ET (7:30pm CT). Multiple sources confirm that all 13 filmed episodes will air.\
Over the last few days, FOX has released the official episode description along with promotional photos including two featuring Eric Sheffer Stevens (‘bout time! I think I’m experiencing withdrawal symptoms!). The full set of images, including the two below can be found at SpoilerTV.co.uk.

Guest Cast: Mark Consuelos (“All My Children”) as Alejandro (Alex) Castillo
Based on the promo photos, Mark Consuelos is playing Annie and Nikki’s Spanish teacher. And “escuela” (in case you didn’t already know it) means school (pretty obvious after reading the press release).
