Pop! Quiz: Who'd make the best gay soap couple?
Time for another Pop! Quiz, folks! Given all the goings-on in soapland both at home and abroad, I thought I'd see what people thought about the current crop of gay soap opera characters. Luke and Noah are on the skids, JP and Kieron are about to be third-wheeled by the return of Craig, and Christian and Olli may be in for some trouble now that their secret is out. So why not mix things up a bit by pretending that all our favorite fellas live in the same universe? Who is your dream soap couple, mashup-style? Cast your vote below!

Olli and Kieron would be interesting...
....but that's not an option in the poll. So...I really like them all the way they are.
Although Noah and a starving lion as a couple has it's moments...
Gay Soap Couple Mash Ups
I think that Olli would think that Luke was a pushover and way too young for him to date. Noah, would make Craig, look like a walk in the park for John-Paul and the Christian/Kieron pairing is just all kinds of hotness for me.

Christian & Kieron
3-way anyone?
Luke and ANYONE but Noah
Noah would be killed by Eve (Maddie's crazy sister), who was put away after offing half of the horny Oakdale teens during her reign of terror. Luke falls in lust with a counselor who is a Mario Lopez meets Chris Brown lookalike and the lust is returned 10-fold. They swap spit for the first time after watching So You Think You Can Dance on a cheap TV and they go for a late night dip and we actually see them embrace in the water.
Luke starts to feel great again and realizes that Noah was such a waste of time, spirit, self-respect, and that just because he's gay he does not need to put up with junk from the first guy who alleges to share hs sexual orientation. With Noah dead, I'll never have to hear him say "Luke" as his pronunciation of his name is so Rose Nyland and second only to Sofie pronouncing "Aaron" as "Ehhhhhhrin."
I need to check out Forbidden Love and Hollyoaks as I am so out of the loop on these shows, which seem to be really liked by a bunch of AE's best :-)
If Butters and Emily were not so hot together, I'd demand that Butters be re-written as gay as he's got some heat that would perk Luke up. Noah is such a bore, and Luke acts more pathetic than Sofie. Luke needs an intervention from a hunk, but only to get him focused on himself.
I'd also like for the writers to stop using Luke and Noah to beat us over the head about the differences between Holden and Lily. Both idiotic parents should tell Luke that he's is loved and that they will try to be better parents to him as they blame themselves for what they see as codependent behavior as after they finally heard the whole story they could never ever invite that punk to dinner or recommend anything but a restraining order.

Guillermo, you've been
Really? Were my suggestions yesterday's news :-(
I also need to read Brian's live blog as there better be references to Luke being mother's little helper while Noah was out doing men's work.
Luke should have shown Noah the door, told him that he never wants to see him frowning mess of a face again, and that he (like the whole cast) looks like crap in green :-)
Where is Emma's shotgun when you need it? Oh Dennis, you'd probably get a kick out of this one as I was reading the summary of yesterday's show on my DirectTV DVR and it referred to things heating up between Emma and Casey. Emma! That little minx! I think they meant "Emily" but I loved the idea of Emma and Casey as then the show would really be pusing the age thing to the maximum.

I knew Casey liked older
I knew Casey liked older women, but Emma!?!? Casey must just be an old soul inside.
I actually didn't mean your content was so much like Danny's, but rather the flavor, or the "aura", or the style, or something. The impression is of stream of consciousness ripping, with a goal of smart-ass wise-crackery (is that a word?), and a frenetic pace that implies the jabs are coming faster than you can type. Also a sort of surface viciousness that is as much put-on as anything.
If you do check out his recent posts you'll see my thoughts about the current Nuke situation, which are opposite of yours. I do it seriously, though, rather than humorously, but it's a completely different viewpoint.
I'd actually like Matt to
Ditto, Ditto, Ditto, Ditto...

Damn, how many times can one say, "Ditto?" You have hit the nail once again, square on the head. Noah could really be killed off at "sleep-over camp" or how about drowning in the Snyderfork Ranch pond? He is so cheap that the only place he can swim is to sneak a dip in the pond. He is soo stupid and has the brain cells of a chimp that before he goes swimming he downs an entire pizza that he found in the trash at Old Towne. As he is doing his Esther Williams "special" backstroke, he is hit with huge cramps in his legs and he sinks to the bottom of the pond. The next morning when hot daddie Holden is out working, he notices this glob of human flesh floating in the pond. The first thing that comes to his mind is that Noah wanted to die like Daddy Dearest did in the Hudson River. Holden can't help but chuckle over that. He is also soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo relieved that now his wimpy son, Luke can move on and find a guy a little more attentive than loser Noah!
At this point...
At this point, I would not wish Noah on anyone.
And Christian and Ollie are just perfect. But if had to choose my fave would be Christian/Kieron, with John Paul/Luke as a close contender.
Come to think of it, Clara Sheller is not a soap, but Noah and Jean Philippe would be perfect for each other. These two brooding types would have fun working their issues together.
BTW, new clips of Clara Sheller are up, they are a riot.
Oh, that's a tough one...
However, Luke and Christian? Ewww... well, it would be good for Christian, since he could pull whatever stunt he wanted and treat his boyfriend like shit and STILL Luke would be all over him.
Christian and Kieron could actually be too hot for TV!

John Paul and Ollie!
lol!
For the unexpected comedy
For the unexpected comedy of a gay priest and a former male escort, my vote's on Kieron (Hollyoaks) and Gregor (Forbidden Love).
But since Gregor's not gay, I'd pick Luke and anyone besides Noah.
Looking outside the box...
...how about Gregor and Hotprechaun? Ohhh, that would be hot!

I would melt over a ATWT

Luke & Mike Kasnoff
This could save this sinking soap.
Out of all the proposed combinations, I think this one would really work. Leave John Paul and Keiron, Ollie and Christian, together. None of these super couples deserve anyone as spineless as Luke Snyder. Mike would be the best thing to ever happen to this "gay greenhorn." It certainly couldn't hurt the already dismal ratings of this sinking soap. Puke is beyond saving and the fact that Van has a three year contract (UGH!), get him a MAN for a change. This Luke/Noah coupling is dead on the vine.
Interesting...
Some really interesting combinations there, but I have no say I'm not really a fan of any of them! John Paul belongs with Craig or Kieron; I cannot see him with Luke, Noah, Olli, OR Christian!
i would say.....
