Van Hansis and Kit Williamson Interview – EastSiders Season Finale!
30
Season one was wonderful….so many unexpected twists & turns, watching a loving relationship crash & burn.the writing was wonderful, Kit is brilliant in so many ways, & Van, someone i’ve been watching for years….he always gives 100% to any part he plays & becomes the character.Matt, Constance, & John were all wonderful.The characters were complex & we got to expect the unexpected.I’ll be moping around on Tuesdays & just hope there will be a Season 2.A great interview Michael…thank you….& thank you Van & kit….for everything….♥~
This interview highlights everything that is wrong with this web series. If the characters’ motivations had been clear to the audience, we wouldn’t need an endless interview pointing them out, would we? The show had a lot of potential and lived up to none of it.
Poor Van…..I wouldn’t include this in any “reel”…..at least the entire ordeal is a testament to the love the audience has for this incredible artist.Van is extraordinary.Even this dismal mess can’t permanently stain his career.
I thought the show was complex, exciting and really well written. What were you confused by, exactly?
I liked Luke-Reid-Noah very much; still do and always will. But, since, Van has indicated, that comparing EastSiders, Thom to ATWT, Luke is like comparing a pea to a potato; and since, Cal-Thom-Jeremy SL is nothing like Luke-Reid-Noah SL; there is no point in drawing out pros and cons of the 2 SLs.
Fantastic show!! Loved seeing Van Hansis starring in it and a newbie Matthew McKelligon is one to watch! Thanks Kit. I think it ended just right.
I really wanted to like this series because of Van but I was very disappointed. I won’t be tuning in to season 2 if there is one.
I am loving this series, I really hope there’s a second season.
Sorry, but this is such a sad waste of Van Hansis’ talent. Kit Williamson is who exactly? If it was not for the Van fanbase this piece of dreck would never have been made. Having the series more or less center around the oh-so-uninteresting character of Cal is a major fail. I know I can’t sit through any more of wishy-washy Cal and his passive-aggressive woe-is-me routine. A better, more charismatic actor (Eric Sheffer Stevens?) might have made the part worthwhile. Poor Van deserves way better than this.
To be fair,none of the characters are interesting…..all pathetic.Poor Van.
You’re right Eddie. A show about people posting spiteful, petty comments on an interview would be much more interesting. The characters in EastSiders are definitely the pathetic ones here.
lol Your version of “spiteful”,”petty” comments is real criticism Van would/will face if he ever gains real fame…..he won’t be handled with kid gloves like he is among his fans and the soap press…….
At least it got Van on screen again Eileen and just for that we all love Kit!! Surely Van has moved on from working with Eric again and Jake.
Eric was just a suggestion since my only exposure to Van was ATWT and he was his strongest acting partner on that show. I would be glad to see Van work with a lot of worthy actors. Kit W is not one of them. He is bland and generic. As for being grateful to him (Kit) you do realize that Van was the one whose name attracted the fundraisers. No one ever heard of Kit.
No but they know Kit’s name now esp with his success in Mad Men.
Three episodes as a copywriter with little to no dialogue does not a star make.
I thought Eastsiders was really good the characters were believable and complex, who wanted to strive to be good. It was great to see Van again and thank you Kit for giving him the role, it was a good casting choice, all the characters were well cast and strong. Kit, Eastsiders was brilliant and you should be so proud of your work!
Brilliant?! You haven’t seen much have you?
Eileen go take your uncalled insults elsewhere.
I saw every episode and enjoyed every episode. And I’ve also seen a lot of Kit’s other work too, so i have seen a lot. He’s a really versatile actor and remember he was writing, directing and starring as well as having other projects and work on at the same time as making Eastsiders. He is a very hard working and dedicated man to his craft.
Uh Eileen is giving her opinion,which she’s entitled to do……..just because everyone in the Van fandom gushes ad nauseum over everything he does,doesn’t mean we’re all without objectivity……Van has never been more bland than in this “role”….complete snoozeville….I can barely endure a 15 minute episode…..
Val dear chill out and take your meds. A comment page invites all opinions. If you want everyone to agree with you don’t go to one. I think Van deserves much better than this crap and if you like it, good for you. As for “uncalled for” just who gets to decide that. Grow up.
lol Rock on, Gold Dust Woman.
Well ok then. I enjoyed the show and seeing Van on our screens again. End of.
Eileen and Eddy, it’s funny how you say that “a comment page invites all opinions. If you want everyone to agree with you don’t go to one” while you attack people for stating their opinion. You attacked Hannah for liking the show and then you attacked Val for defending her. Seems to me that calling your comments “uncalled for” was Val’s opinion. So yeah, she does get to decide what is and is not uncalled for. Other people are also entitled to their opinions, not just you. The only difference is that the other people commenting here seem capable of… Read more »
The majority of your diatribe quotes Eileen so she can address that if she so chooses…..as for rude and hateful……I can always defend my comments/opinions …..one can’t be hateful to a “show” or a “character” for they don’t have feelings and can’t be hurt……both are figments of anothers imagination…..Van Hansis and Kit Williamson are both big boys….they’ll survive the criticism….ultimately Kit may bring about “The Emancipation of Van Hansis”….for it’s surely his influence that has Van finally discussing his “partner”…….
Ha ha ha ha The Emancipation of Van Hansis – Jeez does that bring back some memories of a group on facebook ha ha ha An idiot ran it if I remember correctly and even Van deleted the nutter from his Facebook….ha ha ha
“James” or whatever your real name is, I am not being hateful. You really need to grow up. I don’t find Kit Williamson that talented and I think he is bland and generic. I am a fan of Van’s and wish that he would get something of much better quality. Being rude and hateful towards “characters” and a show???? Whatever. Who does not like some characters on a show or in a movie and vice-versa. You seem way too involved in this that you are taking offense so easily over someone who is not praising the show. I was flip… Read more »
I only watched this web series because Van Hansis was in it. Thankfully, his career will not be defined by this generic series. Van Hansis is a magical actor and deserves far better material than what he was given here. Let’s be clear: this series would have never been given more episodes unless Van’s name was attached to it.
It’s ironic that some of the same people that made digs about Jake Silbermann during the run of ATWT are now outraged that others take shots at Kit Williamson.Actors are fair game.Of course I’m tough on Van……“To those whom much is given, much is expected.” ………….
