Jake Silbermann News

Jake Silvermann and Van Hansis appeared at the 20th annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York this weekend.

When asked if their As the World Turns' characters might get hitched in the near future, neither actor seemed enthusiastic about the possibility.

“I think our characters are too young to get married,” said Silbermann. "Right now we’re taking it slow. The characters are 20, you know?”

Adds Hansis: “And as awesome as it would be to tackle that story, once you get married then kids come along and then you have like a 38-year old grandmother on the show.”

As all As the World Turns fans know, of course, Noah and Luke finally had sex a couple weeks ago.

Each of the actors involved in this key storyline recently spoke to The Advocate about the angle. In this spoiler-heavy culture, They were especially pleased that viewers had no idea the sex scene was coming.

"I really liked the way the show handled it by not really having it with bells and whistles and fanfare," Jake Silbermann said.

Added Van Hansis:

"It was exciting for the fans not to have any spoilers on it, because I know there was a big fan group waiting for this moment. In this day and age, to keep that a secret is pretty cool. I think the fans enjoyed being surprised and shocked."

Jake Silbermann has now been on As the World Turns for over 100 episodes.

In September, Jake Silbermann and Van Hansis sat down with CBS to discuss the biggest story line on daytime television: the kiss between their characters, Noah and Luke.

Below are a few highlights of this interview with the As the World Turns stars:

CBS.com: How has the reaction been to the pairing of Noah and Luke?
Van Hansis: I think it's been incredibly positive as far as I've heard. I don't know if the production office just doesn't give us the negative comments. Everything I've heard has been very positive. We were a top couple in a recent Soap Opera Digest, which was cool.

CBS.com: Do you discuss in advance the scenes you're shooting?
Jake Silbermann: Of course. [With] specific scenes there is an understanding and it's well-written so we understand what's going on.
Van Hansis: The hard part is memorizing our lines!

CBS.com: Jake, how about you...coming in as a new character, did you know this relationship would be the center of the Noah story?
Jake Silbermann: I knew coming in that it was going to go in this direction. And I was thrown for a loop when Noah and Maddie got together. I thought it was great and a very realistic side to the story because Noah is confused.

CBS.com: Now, do you two hang out off the set?
Van Hansis: Yes. We've gone to parties and stuff. It's a very easy friendship there has never been any awkwardness. Jake's a very easy-going guy. We both like comic books.
Jake Silbermann: By the way, I brought you one.
Van Hansis: Jake just gave me a comic book. It's a graphic novel called Watchmen. It's award winning they are making it into a movie.
