Liveblogging "As the World Turns": Supernana!

On today's As the World Turns, Luke's grandma (known affectionately around here as Lady Drumstick) finally stops blaming her virginal grandson for being so damn irresistible to her closeted gay husband and sets to work in getting him back together with Oakdale's most disgruntled barista, Noah.

Will Lady D's meddlesome charms be enough to reunite daytime's only most captivating on-again off-again gay couple? The preview clip for today would seem to suggest that they will be ... but you never know! 

Click on through the jump and refresh often to find out ... as it happens! 

Up ... up ... and away! 

2:57PM EST: So, to recap: Holy shit.

Luke and Noah did the deed and shared their afterglow with Luke's grandmother, whose fetishization of ice cream knows no earthly bounds.

So how do we feel about the situation? I would have loved to have seen the boys actually, I don't know ... in a bed together (doing something other than jumping up and down, of course) but it was unmistakable what happened between the two, and the moment was pretty romantic, with lots of lead-up and a lot of other characters involved ... which might get creepy if we look at it too closely, so let's move on.

Oh, but before I forget, a heartfelt congratulations to Luke and Noah on their reuniting and consummating their love. A long life of diminishing expectations and creeping emotional numbness awaits! 

And reports are coming in from Port Charles, Salem and Pine Valley that at around 2:50PM EST on January 9th, this happened:

THIS TOO COULD BE YOURS! 

2:52PM EST: Oh my God, Luke and Noah both come out of Luke's bathroom, wet and shirtless. Noah finds an old school pic of Luke when he was little and they laugh about it. They embrace and Noah says he's happy they waited. They kiss.

So you know what this means, kids? Stop the clock!

Downstairs moments later, Luke offers to make a grilled cheese and Lady Drumstick comes in and tries to excuse herself, realizing she's interrupted her grandson's afterglow. Noah says he'll go get some ice cream, and when Lady D tells Luke she's moving back home he convinces her to stay, and Noah comes back with three bowls of chocolate chip. 

They all sit down to enjoy their ice cream. 

2:46PM EST: Commercial break, but anyone care to guess what's going on at the Lily Pad?

2:44PM EST: Um, HOLY SHIT - Luke and Noah stumble into the Lily Pad, still going at it, and Noah asks if anyone is home and Luke says they should go upstairs. They run out of the room .... uninterrupted!

Meanwhile, Butters just referred to Luke and Noah as "Oakdale's favorite gay couple". You know it! And he tells Ali that he and Jade "double-teamed their face" ... looks like they might not need any help!

Holy eff - are they really doing this?! Luke and Noah lock the door and rip each other's clothes off! 

2:39PM EST: Noah and Luke have it out, with Noah telling Luke he's not perfect and Luke calling Noah selfish. FINALLY. And hey - there's a sale at Fashion!

Luke asks why Noah is so afraid of being loved and going with his feelings ... and right on cue, Noah tries to eat Luke's face. HOT!

Butters and Jade stumble upon Luke and Noah making out in the alley and Butters is all, "I'm glad it's happening but I don't want to watch it" and Jade says, "what, they're hot and we did it!" 

Back at the farm, Meg, Paul and Dusty have an awkward standoff, but at least Paul didn't eat the baby. Meg asks him to sign the papers and he leaves.

2:31PM EST: Back at the farm, Meg isn't letting Paul near her baby. What, is like one of those Siamese Fighting Fish that eats its spawn? Maybe if we put a mirror against the glass he'll ram himself to death.

Dusty tells Ali to go with her feelings, while of course across town (the street?) Tom is telling Butters to stop sniffing around Ali's hydrant and get his priorities straight.

Meg calls Dusty to tell him that Paul's been saying all kinds of crazy stuff about Johnny being back and Dusty's like "oh right .... that ..." and explains the situation, kind of. Well that's settled, Paul's not crazy after all!

Inside Paul is staring at the kid like she's a drumstick swaddled in a Baby Gap blanket. 

Where my gays at?!

Oh, Paul just found Meg's divorce papers on the kitchen counter. Awkward!

Back at Java Noah tells Lady Drumstick that she can "pitch a tent here" and it's not going to change his mind. Careful with the camping metaphors! Wheatables might show up with throw pillows. Or, you know, somebody might get killed or something.

Lady D tells Noah that he should take it easy on Luke - after all, he married some chick and Luke had to deal with it. And the whole army thing! Noah says he can't get the image of Luke snogging Wheatables out of his head and that she's not being fair.

My mom Lady D says, "who said life was fair?!" and storms out, running into Jade on the way out ... and we get the hottest line of the day! "What, are you following me, like some predatory BIRD?!" 

Noah's all, "you sicked that crazy lady on me?!" and meanwhile over at Al's, Luke arrives and Butters tells him that they're not taking this sitting down.

In a series of cross-cut scenes, Noah tells Jade to back off and Luke tells Butters to leave him alone ... and of course the two pairs wind up running smack into one another in the Ali alley. 

Oops! This should be interesting. 

2:17PM EST: Back at the Lily Pad, Jade reads Lady D the riot act about how she's been treating Luke, telling her that because of grammy's gay husband, Luke has lost the only man he ever loved. (That's Noah, btw.)

Lady D's all, "that's not my fault!" and Jade tells her that Luke sacrificed his own happiness to protect her new marriage. Lady D sarcastically asks for Jade's advice and Jade's like, "get it together, woman!" and storms off. 

Meg Tom Paul Josie's pussycat blah blah blah. 

Ali Dusty dyin' kid blah blah. Ali just told Dusty that she got involved in the whole missing children thing because "her hormones kicked in" ... just not the right hormones, if you ask Butters!

Dusty asks Ali if she's seeing anyone and she says no, but she likes a guy and is afraid that she'll just mess it up again.

Meanwhile, Butters is stuffing his face at Al's with his dad, and Butters shares the good news that he's got the hots for his dad's former girlfriend's younger sister. Is that awkward?

Lady D swoops into Java and tells Noah that he's going to listen to what she has to say whether he wants to or not. Taking the subtle approach, as usual. Lady D makes a plea for Luke, asking Noah to "make time", or else he'll "lose an irreplaceable person". To the left, to the left! Why is Lady D only speaking in hip-hop jams these days?! Twenty bucks she tells Noah he better put a ring on it. 

2:05PM EST: In Oakdale we kick the week off in style: Dying kid!

Meanwhile, over at the Lily Pad Luke tries to avoid Lady Drumstick in the living room but she tells him that it's time they called off "the freeze" and moved on. Luke tells her that she's the one who can't deal with the fact that his milkshake was tastier than hers, and that he's still dealing with the fallout from it.

Cut to Java, where Butters is trying to explain to Noah why he locked him on a rooftop with no coat. Noah tells him that he should stop meddling with his love life and fix his own and that medium drip will be a buck twenty, thank you very much!

In other news, Paul and Meg are still alive. 

1:58PM EST: Okay, before we just start can I just share that my cat Humbert is totally trying to sire me right now? I don't know if it's the Marie Osmond NutriSystem ad or what that has him so turned on, but he's totally all about mounting this thing.

This just taken:

And of course, a moment later:
