Luke Snyder tries to help boyfriend Dr. Reid Oliver with his bedside manner on “As the World Turns”
Talk about elevating ridiculous material, Eric Sheffer Stevens and Van Hansis do wonders on today’s As the World Turns. They (and their viewers) are saddled with this ridiculous “make Reid be nice to people” storyline so he can be named chief of staff of the hospital.
We don’t get to see Luke and Reid together for a week and this is what we get? Good grief! The writers are trying to make their gay couple boring just as they did to Luke and Noah. But Stevens is such a good actor that he at least makes it fun and he takes Hansis right there with him.
Kudos to the actors. Boo to the writers.

After another week of drought and we are treated to a few drops of rain. I agree with you Greg. The acting is way above the writing.
This couple seems to be existing in a bubble lately. Hopefully there will be more interaction with the other characters like Chris, Katie and Henry. I read somewhere that this storyline should be picking up in mid-August translating into more screen time for ESS and VH. I hope the writing improves. We shall see.
