Will the "As the World Turns" reality web series out-gay the actual show?

Not like that's really too hard, these days. But fans of Luke and Noah (and their real-life counterparts, Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann) and the mechanisms of daytime television might want to keep an eye on the web show InTurn, which awards one lucky aspiring soap star with a 13-week contract on As the World Turns. (Get it? In Turn?)

While it doesn't look like any of the four male contestants is openly gay (three of the guys mention girfriends or wives in their bios), the preview video suggests that they'll be asked to do a guy/guy love scene in one of the challenges, as screencapped above. (From what I can tell, that's Peyton on the left and Michael on the right.)

And Van and Jake are on-hand in some capacity (mentors? judges?), which is never a bad thing. Maybe they'll be there to share their tips on how to inject sexual innuendo into discussion of deli meats or use jumping on the bed like a sugarbombed third-grader as a metaphor for actual physical intimacy? We'll have to wait and see.

InTurn 3 (yes, this is the third season) premieres tomorrow, with new eps posted every Tuesday and Thursday.

Check out the video preview after the jump!
