October Road Cast Has Burning Questions!

The fiercely loyal fans of October Road are probably dying to find out if Nick really is Sam's dad, or if Janet and Eddie will get back together. And can that wedding be stopped?! "We just don't know anything," Rebecca Field told TV Guide with a shrug, at a Wednesday event for the Young Storytellers Foundation. In fact, the cast and crew are still anticipating word on whether or not the show will receive a third season pickup. "We find out in May," said Laura Prepon.

The March 10 season finale left the audience with a lot of questions, but should they remain unanswered, Slade Pearce (aka Sam) has a plan. "If we don't get another season, we're going to go barrage the writers and make them tell us everything. I know they know [who my father is], but they won't tell me. It's evil and cruel." (Prepon's take on the paternity puzzler: "I would think it's Nick, because ultimately I think people want it to be Nick.")

TV Guide caught up with the cast at The Big Show, an event where the actors performed scripts written by 4th and 5th graders as part of a mentoring program in the Los Angeles area. "You get to see a bunch of adults act like imbeciles, which is really cute, but more than anything it's just another little nail on the post to remind [these kids], 'Hey, that could be me, if I want that,'" says Field. "They can do anything. If they want to write a screenplay or if they want to be an actor or a doctor, as long as they put the work into it they can do it." — Carita Rizzo

As much as it pains Aussielo and Matt Roush, I would love to see October Road return for another season!

Sam better be Nick's. It just wouldn't be right if he were Eddie's.

Thanks for giving us an update on October Road. I know the critics at TV guide can't stand the show but I think the show is pretty good. I am anxiously awaiting hearing about a season 3. Come on critics how can you not like "the twirl" from season 1? Or how about Eddie giving the little girl the necklace at the funeral scene in season 2? I could go on but I have a feeling I won't convince them.

It is fun to hear that the cast is just as interested as we are in knowing who Sam's father is.

Oh and I forgot to say that I think October Road's Rebecca Field (Janet) is great. TV guide guys can you throw us a bone and write a story on her?

I'm a big fan of October Road--I would really like to see it get full 3rd season on ABC. Fan loyalty is high and clearly there are many burning questions that need answered.

"The Big Show" sounds like it must have been so much fun for the kids and for the cast! I love October Road and I want to know the answer to those burning questions too!

Every Roadie should "run, don't walk" to abc.com to see news and information on the various ways/campaigns we have in the works to save October Road. It's a fun place just to chit-chat with fellow O Road lovers as well. Be seen, be heard...long live October Road.

Thanks so much for the compliment and calling us Roadies "fiercely loyal". We are that! I've never in my life been so affected by a TV series before October Road. This show has very strongly captured my heart & I will be severely disappointed if we do not get another season to pick up where the wild season two finale left off. We Roadies just aren't requesting a renewal, we are also doing our part to engage plenty of new viewers for the show with the PAY OCTOBER ROAD FORWARD campaign. ABC needs to have faith in us fans that we will succeed. Long Live the Road!
