Interviews 2007/2008
AS THE WORLD TURNS's Van Hansis will be pulling double duty this December, playing good boy Luke, and taking a very different slant on the stage in an adaptation of the popular video game Dance Dance Revolution.

There's a whole lot of water under Jack's romantic bridge, and this week, he manages to get all wet. AS THE WORLD TURNS' Michael Park wades in to dish Jack's leading ladies.
MORE
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Dusty is back, and he and Emily pick up right where they left off: in a very dramatic place. Kelley Menighan Hensley (Emily) is thrilled.
MORE
Looks like AS THE WORLD TURNS' Alison has some steep competition from an adorable scene-stealing pooch. Dylan Bruce talks about Chris and Ali's new canine co-star and a love that "must not be named."
MORE
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Alison has had quite the tumultuous summer, between her love life and the machinations of Dr. Rick Decker. Her portrayer, Marnie Schulenburg, hasn't been short on drama, either...
MORE
Viewers know veteran actor Anthony Herrera will soon be onscreen as AS THE WORLD TURNS' James Stenbeck, but do you know what he's been up to offscreen? Catch up on the causes close to Herrera's heart.
MORE
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Austin Peck (Brad) talks teen sex, why we shouldn't be afraid to talk about it, and why he enjoys going, "Hulk smash!"
MORE
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Kelley Menighan Hensley talks about Emily's custody woes and new love, and why she loved it when Margo went gunning for her character.
MORE
The perpetually crisis-ridden duo of AS THE WORLD TURNS — Paul and Meg — give a wedding another try this week. Marie Wilson (Meg) dishes the dirt and the dress.
MORE
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Ewa da Cruz (Vienna) hasn't been seen much around Oakdale lately, but that's okay: You can probably find her on the shelf of your local bookstore — on the cover of Julia Quinn's The Lost Duke of Wyndham.
MORE
Van Hansis (Luke) and Jake Silbermann (Noah) work together so often that they have lots of down time, which in their case tends to lead to silly arguments. They bickered a lot, so Digest only got a few of their disagreements into our feature interview, on stands 4/15.
MORE
For their big "exit" interview, we met Jennifer Landon (Gwen) and Jesse Soffer (Will) at the studio, where Soffer quickly suggested that we move to his dressing room down the hall (across from Michael Park's, Jack) for more privacy.
MORE
Our Valentine's Day issue features a Q&A with ATWT's hottest non-couple, Terri Colombino (Katie) and Austin Peck (Brad). You can read about what she thought of his screen test in the magazine, but here they talk about when they met — as well as the bizarre trip they took not long after, as they (in character) cleaned up a contest-winner's basement for a segment on their fictional talk show, OAKDALE NOW.
MORE
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Scott Bryce
is leaving the role of the nefarious Craig, but there is still the reasoning behind — and the fallout from — Craig's misdeeds to ponder.
MORE
INTURN, the reality show in which actors compete for a 13-week gig on AS THE WORLD TURNS, is coming back for a third season. In-person casting calls will be held in Orlando, FL, on January 19 and Richmond, VA, on January 26. Contestants aged 18-36 can also submit a tape for consideration. Before you go to cbs.com for more information, check out the advice that INTURN 2 winner Ryan Serhant, currently appearing as Evan Walsh IV, has for the next nine.
MORE
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Brad and Katie took to the task of making little Snyders almost as enthusiastically as Austin Peck (Brad) took to taping the hilarious scenes.
MORE
His first daytime part was literally a rat, and his current gig — as the eighth actor to take on ATWT's troublesome role of Chris Hughes — already has him in the rocky position of possibly having caused the near death of Oakdale's beloved patriarch, which is detailed in the 1/1 Digest's Hot Plots Preview. We talked to the Canadian-born actor about what led to his big daytime break — and found out that he's well aware of the Chris Hughes Curse.
MORE
There wasn't a single moment of reparteé in our recent Q&A with AS THE WORLD TURNS's Michael Park (Jack) and GUIDING LIGHT's Ricky Paull Goldin (Gus) — in Digest's 12/11 issue — that didn't elicit uproarious laughter all around. Even their nonsensical tangents had us giggling, which is why there's so much left over, and we're sharing everything. (Well, everything that they won't shoot us for printing.)
MORE
ATWT's Colleen Zenk Pinter (Barbara) spoke about her battle with tongue cancer in Digest's 11/27 issue, but her main goal is to encourage everyone to get screened. It's a quick, completely painless procedure. "You should demand a cancer screening from your denist," she advises.
MORE
AS THE WORLD TURNS' Van Hansis (Luke) kicks off a five-month run in the off-Broadway production of offbeat play Die Mommie Die! this month in New York City, but the über-busy actor found some time to give a little introduction to Lance — and the lowdown on Luke.
MORE
Digest gets to know AS THE WORLD TURNS newcomers Chris Heuisler (Cole) and Justine Cotsonas (Sofie), who play Oakdale's co-dependent pair of expectant parents.
MORE
Digest's new column, Buzz Barometer, is meant to be a cheeky gauge of the zeitgeist according to soap stars, but we couldn't include all of the answers we got. Here's what happened at a recent set visit when an oblivious Hansis walked in just after we'd awkwardly revealed to Alexandra Chando (Maddie) and Jake Silbermann (Noah) that he would be getting a different set of questions from the Roundups.
MORE
In the 26 years since he left his role as Frank on RYAN'S HOPE, there's not much Daniel Hugh Kelly hasn't tackled in show business, from rabid dogs (Cujo) to demons (SUPERNATURAL).
MORE
AS THE WORLD TURNS' teen set heads to Branson, Mo., on the air this week, but the cast filmed on location in the showbiz mecca during the week of June 4. Alexandra Chando (Maddie) called Weekly to dish the food, the company, and the joy of Go Kart racing.
MORE
Agim Kaba's Aaron returns to his old AS THE WORLD TURNS stomping grounds on June 15. Here, his co-stars Grayson McCouch and Kelley Menighan Hensley (Dusty and Emily) give each other (and fans) a little refresher course.
MORE
Digest's Mother's Day issue featured an interview with ATWT's Marie Masters (Susan) and on-screen daughters Kelley Menighan Hensley (Emily) and Marnie Schulenburg (Alison). In this bonus excerpt, they discuss how they've created a dysfunctional family bond — and the tough-love treatment that awaits ATWT newcomers when they get to Brooklyn.

In the 5/8 issue of Digest, we asked stars to interview each other. You've already read Elena Goode (Jade) well-prepared interrogation of her AS THE WORLD TURNS co-star, Van Hansis (Luke). Here's what happened when he — off the top of his head — turned the tables.
MORE
Whether it's "Bennifer," "Brangelina," or "CarJack," the true signature of coupledom is a catchy nickname. So when Weekly sat down with AS THE WORLD TURNS' Michael Park (Jack) and Terri Colombino (Katie) to discuss their characters' fledgling relationship for our May 1 issue, we asked them the burning question....
MORE
ATWT's Barbara, regrettably, hasn't been around much these days — and we've really missed her! That's why we were delighted to catch up with her portrayer, Colleen Zenk Pinter, at a recent set visit. (And in case you think we're engaging in some polite flattery at the end, Pinter really does look fantastic — and not just "for her age.")
MORE
Weekly caught up with AS THE WORLD TURNS' Austin Peck (Brad) for a recent feature interview, and the Oakdale newcomer had so much to say, we couldn't fit it all into print — but we just had to share more with readers.
MORE
When Marnie Schulenburg was cast as AS THE WORLD TURNS's Alison late last year, she learned, in quick succession, that she would be: a) actually debuting on YOUNG AND RESTLESS in a crossover; b) simultaneously appearing on the Web series L.A. DIARIES; and c) playing a character who dabbled in porn. Here's what she said after her first day of work at ATWT.
MORE
Okay, so maybe it's not all about AS THE WORLD TURNS' Ewa da Cruz (Vienna), but when Weekly sat down with the charming actress for an upcoming feature, we got the goods on whether or not she's as high-maintenance as her adorably avaricious alter ego.
MORE
As Parker Joe Munson, son of ATWT's Carly and the late Hal (and the
likely-to-be-adopted son of Jack), he's already got a built-in fan base —
which recently suffered a huge scare from a false report that his character
would be killed — but actor Mick Hazen, who turns 14 in March, knows he's got to work hard to win their respect.
MORE
Weekly grabbed a few minutes with AS THE WORLD TURNS’ Paul Leyden (ex-Simon) just days before he headed out of Oakdale and back to the Land Down Under. In this Q&A, Leyden talks Carly, chemistry and characterization — and gives himself a little direction.
MORE
Between joining one of Oakdale's first families on-screen and one of America's first families onstage, it's no wonder AS THE WORLD TURNS newcomer Matt Cavenaugh (Adam) needs some sleep (and maybe a shirt!).
MORE
We talked to AS THE WORLD TURNS Head Writer Jean Passanante for about an hour for the interview in the 1/16 issue of Digest. Here's what didn't make it into the magazine.
MORE
Ryan Serhant beat out eight other contestants on INTURN 2 for a 13-week contract on AS THE WORLD TURNS, for what turned out to be a plum role: He’ll be playing the son of Evan Walsh, played by Greg Watkins from 1991-95. Serhant first airs on November 7, and Digest caught up with the actor recently to congratulate him on his win.
