Liveblogging "As the World Turns": Invasion of the Boyfriend Snatchers!
The corpse of Luke and Noah's relationship hasn't even cooled yet (well, not that it was exactly fevered to begin with ...) and already we have some new blood sniffing around the hydrants of Maddie Alley, looking for freshly-dumped meat. Yes, after months of wondering, "What ever happened to the Frisky Oakdale Hot Tub Party boys?" our questions are answered when Alpha Aberzombie Reg re-enters the scene as a suitor eager to scoop up Luke on the rebound. Will he succeed? Will other Hot Tubbers follow once they pick up the scent of gay singles? And perhaps most importantly, when in a turgid, cocoa-butter-scented embrace amidst the frothing waters, will Reg pull away from Luke to remove his mask and reveal that he's actually ... Captain Pervy in disguise?! Pretty scary thought, right? Don't worry - we're here to hold your hand through all the twists and turns. Just click on through the jump and refresh often for all the invasive action! "They're comin', I tell ya! Run for your liiiiiiiiiiiiiives!!" 2:50PM EDT: Noah is awkwardly thanking Lady Drumstick for letting him stay at her Amway-furnished cottage, and he kind of falls apart. She gives him a pep talk and says that it could have been much worse than losing his father. Noah doesn't see how. Hey, Mayer's an optimist! I had no idea. Lady D gives Noah the lowdown on the lengths to which Luke went to help Noah ... but meanwhile, Luke has gone back to Java, where Reg is still hanging out like a piece of gay flypaper. Seriously, is that corner of Java the town's "gay spot"? Back at the Love Shack, the house is empty in mid-pack. We close in on Noah's wedding ring, which is lying on the floor. Oop! Either he's gone after Luke or Lady Drumstick turned him into a mouse. Back at Java, Luke is about to accept a date offer from Reg (um, aren't they kind of already on a date at this point?) and Noah comes in and sees them. Luke must have his Overbearing Boyfriend Sensors turned way up, because he unexpectedly changes his mind and runs off on Reg, going as far as to hide against the building's wall when he gets outside, like he's just escaped a purse-snatcher or is hiding from Jason Voorhees. WTF?! Preview Time! No Nuke, but they'll be back Wednesday ... as will we! Heck, this stuff's actually getting good! 2:46PM EDT: Luke's back at the Love Shack and I get the feeling that he literally skipped over to tell Noah that he got hit on by newly-single Reg ... which is exactly what he does. Noah gives a characteristically lame non-response, and Luke totally wigs out on him, telling him that that is not the response that a boyfriend should be giving to that kind of thing. Luke throws his t-shirt at Noah and asks him if he wants to see Reg walking around wearing it because that's what's going to happen. Go Luke! He also brings up the fact that they've been sitting next to each other for 15 minutes and Noah hasn't touched him. 15 minutes? How about 8 months? Noah gives a vague "you might not have to worry about that" answer and we cut away. We come back and Luke asks Noah what he wants and tells him that he knows that Noah is what he wants. He asks Noah why he hasn't even taken off his wedding ring and says that he's tired of having to fight for his attention. He asks Noah when he's going to be the one doing the fighting. It's great to see Luke acknowledging the fact that he's doing all of the heavy lifting in this relationship and pointing out to Noah how much he takes him for granted. And not just because Van is pretty hot when he's angry. Oop! We cut back and Noah's yelling at Luke and Luke's backing down. Noah tells him that he helped him walk again. Luke asks what more they have to go through to be a couple. Noah feels like everything's closing in and he needs the break. Luke storms out, and Noah sweeps a bunch of stuff off of the coffee table and onto the floor. Jerri Blank would be proud! "I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAAAAY!" 2:35PM EDT: Reg apologizes for making Luke uncomfortable and when Luke sort of blushes Reg gives him a "you're adorable when you're making stupid excuses for your married monk of a boyfriend" look that's actually really kind of hot. Luke gives this wishy-washy BS about how he thinks he and Noah are going to patch things up even though Noah is married and Reg is like, "Whatever, you just beep me 911 when you need a man who can take care of all that, k?" Is it just me or did Luke turn into a 12-year-old girl during this exchange? Or maybe that was just me. 2:31PM EDT: Hey, anyone notice that Gilded Lily's voice is really similar to Padma Lakshmi's? I keep waiting for her to plug the Glad family of products. Luke and Reg catch up, and when Reg asks about the rumors he's heard that Noah married a chick Luke says he can't talk about it. So Reg tries a different approach and just goes ahead and asks if Noah's being married means that Luke can date other guys. In the course of this conversation it also comes out that Reg and Tony only dated a few months, but Luke and Noah dated EIGHT MONTHS. I bet if Reg found out that they never had sex once in that time he'd birth a full litter of kittens on the spot. 2:25PM EDT: Here we go! Luke walks into Java, and runs into Reg, who's now sporting a Spencer Pratt-like thatch of chin-moss (although at least Reg's isn't flesh-colored). Luke points out that he hasn't seen Reg since the last time the script called for a gay romantic complication the Oakdale Frisky Gay Hot Tub Party invite and he asks how Tony is. Reg makes it clear that he and Tony have broken up ... and his gaze makes it clear that he's looking to fill his dancecard STAT. 2:20P EDT: Meanwhile, Gilded Lily and Lady Drumstick have been having a liquid lunch over at the hotel. Am I the only one who actually prefers the dynamic between these two actresses? With GL it's like they're two hot divorcees out on the town shopping and looking for new houseboys, not a know-it-all mother and her daughter who can't do anything right. 2:15PM EDT: Luke gets all up in Noah's grill and reminds him about how close they were before they went off to NYC. Noah confesses that he still loves Luke. I confess that this is getting boring. BRING ON THE SEXY HOT TUBBERS!! 2:12PM EDT: Meanwhile, Holden and Quaker Oats Lady (oh, by the way, Dennis was kind enough to create a handy reference guide for all my stupid nicknames!) are making out on the roadside when she burns her hand on the engine. When Holden gets her ice out of the cooler she jokes that she'd rather have a beer. "Atta girl!" Noah tells Luke that he isn't breaking up with him, and Luke tells him that it sure as damn feels like it. Noah tells Luke he just needs space, and Luke takes this as a cue to grab Noah's face. Luke just wants Noah to talk to him, and Noah says he can't because "that's just not where my head's at right now". (FYI, his head is back in Times Square with the Naked Sailor.) 2:04PM EDT: We start off with Noah packing up to move out of the Love Shack. Luke comes in and when Noah asks him what he's doing there, he says that he helped him move in and he may as well help him move out. He points out to Noah that he is packing one of Luke's t-shirts and Noah offers to give it back, but Luke tells him to keep it. EEK! Ice Truck Killer naked and splayed out on a couch with only a sheet separating us from his wedding tackle! Luke tells Noah that the t-shirt looks better on him and he offers to take some boxes back to the farm - particularly Ameera's stuff, as he won't have much room in the dorm (and Luke could use her clothes for the big summer bonfire). Noah asks him what he's doing and Luke says he's just trying to help, and finally asks, "are you looking for a break or a break-up?" Submitted by on Mon, 2008-06-16 13:55. |
Luke shouldn't be begging at all
Luke is HOT when he's angry
I loved how he got right up in Noah's face. that's what i wanna see with these guys, passion, even if it's angry passion. then they can have angry sex. or make-up sex
or any kind of sex

CURSE YOU, MOTHER NATURE!
I missed the reg-luke reunion because our local weatherman interrupted to tell us there are storms in the area. (because i couldn't tell from the pitch black sky and thunder, and power cutting in and out)
He better be glad he's cute. >:(

Yep!
From this live-blog...
...I'm actually looking forward to an ATWT episode for the first time in months. Reg sounds like just what Luke needs now--somebody to give him some real man-lovin'!
Check out my blog: http://radicalsexy.blogspot.com/
New Power Couple name
Ruke is the only sensible one.
Although, maybe "Leg" will work better.
ATWT should bring back Tony also. ATWT needs some lecherousness.
I like "Leg," as in Third.
I like "Leg," as in Third. Okay, it probably shouldn't be pronounced that way, but still.

Leg
Pronounced "ledge" as in, "something you jump off of."
Meaning what?
I think he means...
...in relation to Noah...but those who have jumped or fallen from ledges in Oakdale before--Paul, Emily--bounce and survive.

Ledge!
Or run from, apparently.
Gar vethed e-chunen; go hon bedithon na meth.
I actually think the writing is getting better
At least for Luke. The exchange with Reg seems very realistic....
I have to edit what I said originally now that I actually saw the scenes courtesy of YouTube.
First Van Hansis was absolutely wonderful in today's episode. And Noah's walking in on Luke and Reg after his heart to heart with Lucinda really made my heart ache for him. Both Luke and Noah are going through a rough time and finally the writing staff at ATWT got it.
W...T...F
luuuke! omg, what the hell am i missing here?
he wanted a 'boyfriend' response out of noah? someone needs to sit me down and smack me a few times because i am obviously really stupid since i don't understand a damn thing.
what did he want noah to do? "oh damn. let's make up! screw the break. i'm over my issues (whatever those may be) I can't handle another man hitting on you. let's go cuddle and kiss"
seriously, luke should've been like "yeah, i got hit on. a man actually WANTS THIS. peaceeeee out."
Yes, Liz. What the Frak.
At least with Luke and Reg, there would have been some pseudo-newness to the "only" "gay" "relationship" on ATWT. Now, ATWT (Ball-less cowards) have left everone in limbo again.
Noah tells him that he
Noah tells him that he helped him walk again.
Did he actually do that? Whoa, what a twit.
Admittedly, I....
meh
Luke is a snivelling mess.
and Reg was much cuter before, now he's been styled to a gay cliche
www.thebittersuite.blogspot.com
Uh....
... he always was a gay cliche. A cute one though.
Gay Cliche
How the exchange should
How the exchange should have gone down:
Noah: I helped you walk again!
Luke: Yeah, after your dad paralyzed me and I didn't hold it against you like you're holding this against me, you jerk!
I'm in favor of good soapy complications, but this one is just so... blah.
I like the idea of Luke being around someone with no baggage
I'm actually enjoying the idea of Luke, being around someone (Reg - who's a cutie), who's got their crap together and is willing to make him KNOW and feel that he's important and not some 'ball and chain' that's hanging around his neck. I know that some viewers wants Noah and Luke, to end up having a civil partnership with the cute little puppy dog, by the age of 22, but it's a good thing that they've broken up at this point in their relationship.
I want Luke and Noah, to be able to just BE young, college-age adult males, trying to find something to do for the Summer. I know it's a soap, but damn.
Luke has been carrying way too much of Noah's emotional and mental baggage, caused by his 'daddy issues'. Noah, needs this time, without the 'Instant Synder Family Support' to realize that, just because he loves his father, doesn't mean that he has to forget everything that his father has done to him and the people that he cares about, all in the name of 'fatherly love'. That wasn't about love. It was about trying to have complete and utter control over his son aka HIS POSSESION.
I know that this is a long shot (and I'm not holding my breath), but I hope that TPTB will have Noah and Luke interacting with OTHER people their age, during the summer months. I would like to see that Noah, could have a separate and interesting life (and friend), outside of his relationship with Luke and the same goes for Luke.
Love me less, but love me a long time - Les Chansons D'Amour
Lucinda's great
Lucinda was great. She was able to remind Noah of how strongly Luke felt about Noah without making Noah feel guilty.
I loved teh scene where Luke asked Noah "When are you going to fight for me?" becasue that's what I was thinking too. But it was also good to acknowlege that Noah has stood by Luke in the past. Noah does love Luke. But what Noah needs to realize is that you can't just say "I love you" to somebody once and leave it at that. In any relationship, people need to be shown that they are loved on an ongoing basis.
Reg was good as a plot device, but I don't think the actor for him is quite good enough for more than a very minor part.
I agree

Lucinda deserves more airtime. Most of the veteran actors do. There are two many newbies but I digress. I do see Reg as another plot device in the Luke and Noah saga. Not that he isn't nice eye candy but he really feels like a third wheel and not a love match for Luke.
veterans
I so agree with you about the veterans. Elizabeth Hubbard is fanatastic. She makes any scene interesting. Just because some of the most experienced veterans don't have romantic stories anymore doesn't mean that they can't be onscreen. This *is* suppsoed to be a community after all.
Instead of Reg, they should have brought back Roth, the "fustigate" guy from last year. He was cute, and he could possibly be a more serious obstacle for Nuke.
A dollar short and a day late
Four days out from the Daytime Emmys and the writers finally give Van a chance to use his acting chops only, after the voters have sent in their final ballots. I hope he still wins.
I am so over Noah's, "I can't say" routine. What space does he need from the man he loves, and who loves him unconditionally? If he can't see this man is hurting what does he want: Daddy alive, to join Ameera in Iraqui (aka, now have his contract renewed), to jump off the Oakdale bridge, spend endless unfufilled nights at the Oakdale baths, or become the new Chi Chi Larue? My God the man is an endless whiner, what the hell does luke see in him. Clearly none of the staff writers is gay, out, or had anything like an authentic life.
And there stands Reg gone from nebbish gay boy to way seductive hottie. When someone like that says you are cute and he wants you, any gay boy on the planet, genuflects, makes the sign of the cross and accepts the offer. Not our writers they make Luke go all coy, "Oh, I am just disdained lover, not really into the fleshy aspects of sex."
Damn, damn, damn, this storyline is worse than trying to pick up a blond Adonis in a gay bar on a Saturday night.
So you like them blond?.....
Unless I am mistaken, this past year did not give him have anything that screams Emmy. This bums me out as is he were on a better show, his character would have received a storyline and/or 4 or 5 episodes to showcase the character. The only episodes that I even remember showcasing Luke were the ones in which he shared funny scenes with Casey and the funny performances never win. I am amazed that Henry's portrayer is beign nominated for what I think is the second year in a row
Hey Insideguy..... ;-) I have some bad news to share. The already Daytime Emmy nomination process (already so flawed that no one involved liked it) went to a new low this year as the winners were determined simply by picking the top vote getters that decided the nominees from the pre-noms selected by each show. In other words, there was no second round of voting to chose a "winner" among the nominees.
The Academy decided that since it was such a hard task to get everyone to watch all the reels (which is humanly impossible to begin with) submitted the shows, the would unburden the voters from having to focus on the 5 or 6 nominees to pick a winner. At least with a second round, which is the standard in any awards show, nominees can get the attention that comes from not being lumped with 50 others.

Luke is being a brat...
I heart Nuke, but seriously, Luke needs to leave Noah alone. He's angry, irrationally so, and needs some time to work his stuff out. Why won't Luke just give him his space?
He can't let Noah run away from this new and utterly ridiculous problem -- I mean, come on, his father didn't shoot himself, he went for a swim! In calm waters! IN FREAKING NEW YORK!!! I don't think he's dead, instead, he just swum to Long Island and took up with Dina Lohan... -- but Luke WILL successfully push Noah away by trying to force him to make a decision. It sucks to wait, but damn, be a man about it, and maybe it won't hurt!
Reg's nickname
ATWT rocked today, which of course is a bad sign
as there have been maybe a handful of well-written and acted episodes in the past year or so and, without exception, the following episode(s) have turneed out to be so awful that it seems that they had been mass produced in another factory.
Barbara and Lucinda. My favorite rivals in a new sisterhood!
Lucinda and FauxLily. Mom-daughter chick power! Men need not apply. Of course there are no men for any women over 30 in Oakdale so they better have Luci's balls.
Luke and Reg. Yessssss! I like Reg's little 5 o'clock hairthing and someone reminding Luke that he's too hot/young/rich/gay to be a married man's mistress. OK I added those elements, but Noah should at least be providing sex and jewels to his side gig.
Luke showing some stones. More!!!! Those stones most be bluer than blue and bigger than watermelons by now.
Sofie finding a throwaway laptop in the middle of nowhere that of course must have easily accesible personnel records of all employees? PRICELESS! Maybe Alison and H.L. can both use the laptop to use against one another in their court. Keep it low but the password to all of Oakdale Memorial Hospital's records is MEG ;-) I am laughing WITH the show here.
I almost loved it all. Not too much time after the Carly/Holden kiss to create maximum post-kiss weirdness. Lily/Holden kissing and Holden giving this little look that was awesome. I am thinking that he wants a threesome. The Shrek/Meg/Sofie conflict moved in a different direction as I was convinced that she was going to use the $100,000 check to further screw Shrek with ball-busting Margo. Maybe she did, but I am liking this going after Meg scenario much more.
The only scene that I hated (and showed me why Noah has to go) was one that some apparently liked (sorry Anthony) as I saw it coming a mile away and hoped that they would not go there. I am referring to Noah reminding the viewers/Luke that he stood by him when psycho dad tried off him like a squirrel.
It's a realistic thing for Noah's character to say something like that as cornered dogs want to "win" arguments rather owning up to the truth. The guy's been living in a pity party and making out like a bandit as he got a permament home at the farm, endless food, cash, and accepted all sorts of favors/allowances/gifts that any decent person would have refused as the price is too high. Those puppy dog eyes have gotten him more freebies from the Snyder clan than every charity in Oakdale.
So for pathetic Noah to bring that up as the one decent thing he has done can't even be a footnote when playing the comparing game of who has sacrificed more for this mess of a pseudo-love story. They've only been together for 8 months? It seems like these 2 have been boring me for much longer. Does anyone remember when they become "official" bfs.
Of course none of this could have happened without Luke's consent, so I would be overjoyed if this represented a point of no return for this buzzkill as Luke decides that he'd like to grow a back-bone and have some F-U-N. Unfortunally, I predict that Luke running away from Reg today will be one of those scenes that the show will rerun over and over again if Luke messes around with Reg, as it will serve as proof that Luke tried to keep away when the writers work their bipolar magic on repairing Nuke by now making Noah the new "good" person and Luke the new "bad" person.
I smell a scenario in which Noah's puppy eyes will shed some tears as he (and even some of the audience) will frame his absolute lack of affection/chastity belt as the most authentic proof of "true love." Luke will likely be accused for having stayed with Noah only in it for the sex. Bad Luke, just like his lying mom, and all the women on the show..... It will get so annoying that you might look back and wonder when you starting rooting for Noah and why you are hating Luke.
I hope that I am 100% wrong about the morality turnaround. I am sure that I am in the minority, but I would not only love to see Luke with Reg, but with as many other guys as he can enjoying the summer sans Noah. I don't mean that he has to nail them all, just be around positive energy as Noah is one dull dude. Reg will show him what a gay 3-legged race looks like.
Totally speculative statement: If Noah's portrayer had he not been hired to play Luke's "gay" love interest or been propped up by Van and 2 well-choreographed moments of intimacy, he would have been gone ions ago. Contrast Noah's portrayer with the guy who plays Casey (who I initially thought was going to suck) as the latter managed to even develop a chemistry with fiber-challenged Ameera. The kid has got "it."
If things cool down with Emily the writers could introduce a scenario that makes Casey daytime's first true bisexual character who winds up being half of daytime's hottest gay/bisexual couple with Luke. That would push some buttons..... I am reaching...... I just want Luke to be fun as I want to have fun and want to see Van using all his bones, especially his funny bone. No Nukes!

I like where your reaching
Two Words...
Bisexual - yes!
What a good idea for a plot twist with infinite possibilities. Now that Tila Tequila has won the much-coveted Bravo 'A-List' award [what a head-on collision THAT was], she will need another vehicle to jettison her to further wealth and notoriety. She and Casey can make out whenever they need more heaving bosoms shots -- not to mention Asian diversity -- because we're never going to see two guys go at it on CBS, at least not in the sack. 'Swingtown' can't even cut it on prime, but the fact that it's possibly the worst network drama EVER shouldn't really matter, should it?
BTW, give my best to Randy B. You look great this time on Hunks4you. Chris Rockway Rocks!
I Couldn't Agree More...

If Jake Silbermann hadn't lucked into one half of daytime's most talked about couple last year he wouldn't not be on that show. Granted he's not as bad as he was in he early days and he's turned in some nice performances as of late, but he's still inconsistent in his acting at times. Jake is okay, but he doesn't have that 'it', just like you say. Billy Magnussen (Casey) has it. Eric William Morris (Matt) had it. It would be nice to see what we would get if we had an actor as talented as Van portraying his love interest
Yesterday's show was pretty amazing. Most everything was clicking in the performances and the writing. Even stories I don't care for (anything to do with Paul/Meg) held my interest, if only mildly. Loved seeing CZP and Liz Hubbard together. We don't get enough scenes like that. Besides the Luke/Noah scenes, those moments are the ones folks are talking about from yesterday's show.
Too bad we only get solid show like that about once every few weeks. You can't expect it everyday, not on a soap where they churn out so much material.... but should we be surprised when it happens?
Keep it low but the password to all of Oakdale Memorial Hospital's records is MEG ;-) I am laughing WITH the show here.
You had me laughing out loud here. Hilarious!
I'm not sure what will happen over the next couple of weeks before Cyndi comes in and sprinkles her fairy dust, but my guess is that we'll have Luke attempting to date Reg, not really enjoying it, but Noah thinking he is and Luke thinking Noah doesn't care. And then someone will come along (probably Reg himself) clue Noah in to what really is going on (because Noah ALWAYS needs a clue and a kick in the pants before he does anything) and that'll spur the reunion at the Gay Pride event.
Bi Bedhopping on ATWT?
Luke accused Noah; Luke said that Noah has never "stood by him." Noah correctly retorted that indeed he had. The couple were not standing in front of a chalkboard with a tally marks on either side under their names. (That kind of couples therapy might save alot of relationships.) Noah was responding to an accusation. In defense of the character, I have seen people like Luke, who have given up, and without the important EARLY physical therapy, their body atrophies into a sit-down position.
I think Noah can take full credit for Luke's ability to walk and he doesn't owe the Snyder's a damn thing because they gaciously offered them a gift. It isn't a gift if you expect a return in favor, like continuing to be Luke's boyfriend. He shouldn't be made to feel beholden to them and even though he 'owe's' them, his repayment should be something he want's to do, not something Luke expects.
Why are we even talking about these lame points? That's not retorical.
I could care less at this point if they have been together for 4, 6 or 8 months. I accept 8 months as real enough.
Luke is the 'good' boy. He proved that when he walked away from Reg. Reg wasn't a lecher, he was available to provide the love that Noah is denying Luke. That has to be attractive. But we all know that Luke wants his 'first time' to be with Noah. After all they have been through (and we have been through) it would be a dirty shame if they took that implicit expectation away from us. But ATWT has done worse in the past and lost viewers because of it.
Luke will not become the "bad person" anytime soon. He is the 'Gay' mascot. In early 21st century story telling that precludes him from being the villain, thank God.
I agree that Silbermann's acting has been lack luster in the past, but he is head and shoulders over the ham that plays Reg. In this episode, Jake was awesome and no less. I feel spoiled by Van and Jake, Reg would only be good in very small doses.
I'd like to see ATWT get 'gay' right before they attempt to screw up 'bi-sexual' and treat it like a case of amnesia or a sorted excuse for bed hopping.
.
Totally agree about Noah...
I think the writers were trying to show that Noah has (totally mis-placed) loyalty towards people that he feels need his help (Ameera). That's also why he was by Luke's bedside during the temporalysis. I have 2 men in my family that are exactly like that. They will blow off family members that have unconditional love for them, over some needy stranger that comes along. It's a "hero" complex. I think that Noah feels that any stray puppy should be taken home and looked after even if it means taking the food off his family's plate to do it. But to make his psychy more complicated, they have thrown in the un-ending desire for his father's approval at any cost. (honour thy father is one of those *traditional values*)
It's absolutely true that the writers will not let either of these boys be really "bad" or selfish because they are bending over backwards to show that "gee, gays are really great too, see? We even have them on our show". That way they are trying to please everyone with less than exemplary results.
I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.
Paul Ryan
Paul and Meg are NAUSEATING!
Sorry Anthony, but I don't think Paul has a sexy body. I do totally agree that he is the most unappealing and unsexy soap actor ever. Maybe it's that always dumb look he has and the fact that he is the WORST actor on daytime TV. In addition, when he is on screen with equally WORSTactress Meg, they literally almost make me sick, they are so nauseating. You can believe that I fast forward through any of their scenes. How TPTB can keep these two duds is beyond me.
FYI...
For those who have asked, I am somewhat of a new viewer to ATWT. I began watching last summer when Luke, Noah, and Maddie were in Branson during that awful "CLEO" storyline. That had to be the dumbest thing that has ever been on TV! The highlight of the Nuke story for me was the Towel Tug of War. It was one of the hottest scenes ever in what limited daytime TV I have ever had the pleasure of watching. The current Puke storyline is a disaster as I have stated and should be abandoned. Luke should drop Noah like a bad habit and move on. Thier current status is so shot full of holes, it is beyond repair. Turn Noah into Daddy Dearest Jr. and let him stalk Luke. He could do all sorts of evil while Luke is "sowing his oats" with some of the more sexually active gay stud puppies in Jokedale. Anything would be a helluva lot more interesting than what we have to sit through now.
With that I am pretty much done posting my rants on this worthless Puke storyline and ATWT. I guess I have repeated myself a bit much about it. I am moving on and deserting this disaster. YouTube will be my hang out from now on. I'll be watching Christian and Ollie, which is a helluva lot more realistic with hotter actors, superb writing, and BETTER SETS!
Paul/Meg/Emily
If you started watching with the Cleo débacle, then you missed the whole Paul/Meg/Emily triangle from 2005-2006, which was actually pretty gripping--though primarily due to Kelley Menighan Hensley's tour-de-force portrayal of the obsessed, bats**t crazy Emily. I've always thought Paul had better chemistry with Emily anyway.

aww, too bad......
If ATWT improves
But, I've pulled back a lot myself. This is the only board I currently post at about ATWT. And even here I feel like I'm only contributing to the useless babel. "you said what?" "blah, blah, blah..." The gay detractors are losing interest; that means P&G can go back to courting the AFA in private.

If only Reg knew...
The simple fact that Luke went out with Noah for eight months without even a vague hint of sex would suggest that either he has no sex drive whatsoever or else he needs it so badly that reg should just cut to the chase and do him in the alley.
I know which I prefer.
Thing is, whiney Luke is pathetic and hard to sympathize with. If anyone deserves righteous anger it's him. If Noah has the audacity to claim points for helping Luke walk again then Luke should immediately throw it in his face that the only reason he was hurt in the first place was because of the father whose approval Noah still wishes he had!
Honestly, someone should slap Luke around until they knock the whiney little bitch right out of him! Where is a helpful drag queen when you need one?
Thanks Psionycx
