ATWT video clip update: Luke and Noah ring in the new year alone, off screen

Alright, to be fair, the boys did have some cute moments in the New Year's Honkeytonk Extravaganza episode, which kind of played like the Haunted Dollhouse Christmas of Horrors episode from the previous week with a moderately more current wardrobe. While Luke and Noah were about as chaste as their turn-of-the-20th-Century, toggery-laden counterparts, they were once again the focal couple in the group of holiday revelers. And that's something.

It's also something that the two left the party for a more private location ... something frustrating, that is! Yes, the fellas once again made vague threats about taking their iron-clad gay teen relationship to another level (what is the level beyond physical therapy, tandem homework sessions and hidden kisses, anyway?) ... and then disappeared. Folks, this may be a case of "careful what you wish for" come to terrible fruition: we wanted an upstanding, balanced, emotionally responsible gay couple on television, and we got one ... in all its doting, hand-holding glory.

Anyway, the fellas danced and Noah got over the "can't be gay in public" hump and it was cute. But why do I have the feeling that when we next see the fellas they'll be back to playing Archie and Edith while Dusty bangs blondes in his car and the Hotprechaun languishes in bed (with the same blonde, I might add) for an entire episode? Grr. Anyway, here is the clip from Friday's ep, along with a very funny/depressing fanvid that shows all the cutaways from the boys kissing that we've suffered through for the past several months. Enjoy!
