Today on As the World Turns, gay icon Cyndi Lauper makes an ATWT stop on her star-studded True Colors tour  (New York, Los Angeles, Oakdale!?) and takes poor Luke under her wing. 

She dedicates her signature song to Luke and makes Noah realize that his doormat boyfriend might be a catch after all.  The two share a kiss, and Luke invites Noah back to the farm that evening, where they can be alone at last and presumably consummate their relationship. Yay!

All seems right with the world. For about 30 seconds — until Noah drops a major bomb.

Today on As the World Turns, Noah has interruptions aplenty on his first day of work at the coffee shop. First Luke comes in and goes all Richie Rich offering to loan him money for school. Then Noah gets called down to the Oakdale Police Department (slash Lost and Found) where they hand him his father's dog tags. Captain Pervy has been pronounced dead.

Noah wants to mope, but Luke drags him back to the farm to remind him that they belong together. Noah isn't so sure...

Noah: Being here doesn't feel like home any more. My father died hating me because I was gay, because I couldn't be what he wanted.
Luke: But you can't help being who you are.
Noah: Yeah but the thing is, I don't think I can be who you want me to be either.

Ouch! Luke really needs to take a hint and leave mopey, ungrateful Noah alone. But will he?
