Interview LiveBlog | ESS on OutTakes Talks (BlogTalkRadio), 26 July 2010

5.02 EDT UPDATE:
Grr…. I managed to crash two browsers trying to keep this updated, and ended up taking notes off line. Highlights:
- When asked point blank whether LuRe fans will be happy with the ending, Eric’s response was "I was. I loved the way (Reid’s storyline) wrapped up."
- The writers "kept the integrity of the character throughout."
- He cited Van’s hiatus and promised "things will pick up" and mentioned that they’re at a point where it’s less interesting to watch them talk about their relationship than to see them "actually having interactions, being playful"
- Reid’s sarcastic but not a bad guy - reinforced the "no character assassination" message I got.
- He would consider another soap.
- The lemonade was ad libbed but the take that aired was not the first take.
- Eric’s definitely a smart guy - fabulously articulate throughout, but responses also included "arduous" and "circuitous" (not really your dimestore adjectives!)
