OK did anyone notice that in this tidbit it says "for an UNSPECIFIED amount of time."? Someone on another board pointed this out that it could be that Van is only contracted for a certain amount of episodes. I hope that this doesn't mean hes only on for a few months or whatever. Im not trying to bring anyone down its just that this whole effing campaign and fan bitching really has had me worried since day one. I do not trust TPTB at all, Especially with the way they treated Martha Byrne. There is NO telling what or how they'd treat Nuke. Do you think that I am looking to much into this? Again I am not trying to bring anyone down its just that someone on another board pointed this out mentioned certain amount of episodes so now it has me worried. Clint you know alot about this stuff what could it mean? I mean what if he signed a short term contract or something? Here is what was in SOD:

It could mean anything. It could mean he's on for a few months or a couple of years. I read he signed a 2 year deal in a couple of places, so I'm going with that. Others are worried, but I'm not one of them. To be frank, I was surprised they kept Van at all so any extra time he's around is fine with me. If it a short contract, I just hope they write Luke and Noah a nice exit story. |

OLTL rocks!

I'm not worried either. Whether he is only on for a few more months a 2 more years, I'll enjoy it while it lasts. I'm thinking it might be longer like 2 years. Van just signed up for the Fan Club Mail service to help him respond to fan mail and picture requests. I wouldn't think he would sign up for such a service if he was only going be around for a little while longer. |

I was just thrilled that he signed a contract, after all I believe he said at the GLAAD awards that he enjoyed working with his co-star (Jake) and he liked the paycheck. A young actor with a steady paycheck beats an unemployed actor waiting tables, which Van admits he wasn't very good at;) Whatever time he signed for, I'm just happy and not going to stress about the conditions of that contract. After all ATWT just got renewed. No use signing a three year contract for a show that might not be on after the 2009 season. Just trying to put this in perspective Ok, so I'm doing a lousy job.

But, normally, if an actor agrees to stick around after their contract to wrap up a story line, don't they usually agree to it without a new contract? Don't they just work without one? This pattern, if it really is a pattern, suggests that this is NOT the case here. |

Sometimes. Usually though if an actor is sticking around to finish up a storyline, it's said so up front. That's why I think this is no big deal. He wanted to stay and they wanted him to stay.... I don't know why people are assuming he'll be gone in 13 weeks. It could mean something.... but it could mean nothing as well. I don't think it means anything. However, I tend not to worry about things that aren't right in front of me or that I can't do anything about.
:lol: BTW, SOW also mentions Van signing a new contract. They make a point of saying his old contract was two years and that he re-upped, which says to me that he has another two year deal. That would go along with what I've seen here and there long before the SOD bit. |

Count me in as one of those who isn't worried. Van has been all over the magazines in the last few weeks, including a really nice article in the most recent SID. He interviewed Tala on the ATWT's website, presented at the Gladd Awards, and in April he will represent ATWT's on the View to announce the Emmy nominations. This doesn't sound like a short term contract to me. |

Here's an update on this: According to the SOD editor, Van was asked about the length of his contract, which he signed yesterday, but he's apparently keeping the details to himself. So I guess this means he's leaving next month. :lol: |
