INTURN 3, an original internet-based reality show where the ultimate prize is a 13-week contract role on the CBS Daytime drama AS THE WORLD TURNS, returns for its third installment on Tuesday, April 15 on CBS.com.  Ten young hopefuls will go through weeks of auditions and drama at AS THE WORLD TURNS boot camp to fulfill their dreams of winning a role on the long-running series.

Full-length episodes and highlights clips from INTURN 3 will also be available across the vast CBS Audience Network, allowing a community of fans to watch the programs online and incorporate clips into their blogs, wikis, widgets and interact and discuss INTURN 3 on message boards.

The three remaining contestants will be written into the show as characters on AS THE WORLD TURNS.  Viewers across America will then have a chance to vote online for their favorite (one of the three finalists), ultimately selecting the newest cast member on AS THE WORLD TURNS.
