ESS article from Soap Opera Weekly

[moerlin]

This article is actually a little older (from the 12/6 issue of Soap Opera Weekly - thanks, freakandwack, for the info), but it's got a couple nice soundbites by Eric.

Taken from Winson's Twitter because no actual scans seem to be forthcoming.

"surprisingly, it worked out"

Not surprising to us! :)

Thanks for posting this.

Heh. :D I do wonder what other stuff he auditioned for (that didn't work out or maybe he preferred IHMTD over it) and if any of it was picked up. Who knows what other shows he might have been on... ;)

This is the December 6th issue. Mala supplied the info as I was trying to track down a copy.

[moerlin]

Thanks for the info!

I love how verbal he always is about the fans. He's so thankful for us and very humble about it.

We know he's no stranger to Pilot Season. Let's not forget those glorious 37 seconds with Matthew Bomer in "Amy Coyne". Be still my heart, if they were ever on the same series, millions of TVs across the nation would simultaneously combust from the sheer HOTNESS factor.

Seriously, this needs to happen. White Collar shoots all summer long, so even in the event that IHMTD gets additional episodes/ESS books a new show for next season, it shouldn't be impossible to shoot an ep in NYC for a week or so...

[snapegirlusa]

Oh yes, definitely! He's bound to come home to NY with the kids. Let's keep our fingers crossed that his agent manages that juicy guest spot!! Or just send them both to my house, I have a video camera! I promise to return them... eventually! ;)

[moerlin]

I've had my fingers crossed for this aaaaall year already, heh. So what's a couple more months? ;)
And hey, as long as you at least let us watch the video... :D

I so miss rushing out to buy the soap mags every week just to read a snippet of Eric or Van.

Thanks for posting this!

[moerlin]

You're welcome! Stupid soap magazines, don't they know their readership would be way up if they only reported on ex soap stars? :D

[smittle]

He called us fantastic and sweet! I feel so validated! Thank you for posting this!

Ever-loyal ATWT fans are already eagerly awaiting the series debut. "A bunch came to the pilot we shot in March. It was so fantastic and sweet."

He's talking about me! (And several of us...ahem smittle) We were so fantastic he ran after us! He ROCKS!

[meooowww]

and me!!! Oh ESS how I <3 you.

[traciamc]

I know! How can you not love the guy? *sigh*

P.S. Miss you! ;)
