Mmmm...Im loving those abs. Very sweet episode, they gave Noah a little bit of the human touch; thats been missing in his side of the story. I dont know about this living arrangement. And yes, a kiss would have been perfect here too, but wait they hugged, thats a big step isnt? Oh well it is nice to see them actually on and see their relationship evolve at least in some level.

Okay, I get the whole 'let's go slow' thing -- but come on... They just decided to move in to the same house. Doesn't that deserve a kiss? If some guy I was dating asked me to move in to his granny's house I would want a little lovin'.

Don't get me started on my Meg Ryan crush...lol Anyway, as a long time viewer of some soaps (I know...not the usual TV viewing choice of many lesbians, but again I reference Meg Ryan) I have to say that the "teen" story lines do take much longer to get to the bedroom than adult story lines. I think there may in fact be some sort of code of "honor"...or whatever would apply to soaps. That said, the lack of on screen kisses is getting rather old! Then again, my mom watches this show too (she's 72 and it's her fault that I started watching ATWT and therefore developed a crush on Meg Ryan), so I'm thinking the ATWT producers are probably treading carefully so as to NOT lose their longtime fans who may need more time to acclimate to this "Turn" of events. And dang it, ATWT IS a soap after all...and as a soap, time moves both slowly (interminally long story lines) and unusually fast (kids aging from baby to 4 years old in mere months). So guys...it is what it is. Now if only All My Children would bring back Bianca and Maggie from Paris!

I have never actually seen this show before, and now that I have seen that clip I am deffinently hooked. So, Thank You, Mr. After Elton, I am now hooked to another show. Haha. :-P

I swear this show is written by home-schooled 5th graders.

We've had one silly contrivance after another between these two for months now but the only reason there's any emotional development is because the actors put it into their performances.  How is the audience supposed to believe they're moving in together when they haven't even had sex and have only kissed twice?  If it's all happening off-screen wouldn't there at least be a reference to their physical relationship somewhere?  I mean, helloooo?

And the idea that Grandma Emma would suddenly approve their living together at the farm makes no sense at all.

ATWT is really being half-assed about this storyline and it's really unfair to Van and Jake who are really putting their all into it.

 

Is this a contrivance so that the boys will honor Emma's wishes and not have sex under her roof. Maybe they just couldn't get any money for a new set, so since we've never seen Luke's room we won't see Noah's eather. Otherwise they would have to build a dorm room, or apartment. Or they could just put them up at the LakeView like they do every one else!

Yes, I was hoping there would be some reference to something happening off screen New Year's Eve. since they wanted to leave The Metro for some place more private. But ,I guess that's not happening eather.

I have to also agree that probably the directors, and definitely the actors are what's making this work right now. As I wrote somewhere else, the embrace at the end of the show was emotionally, and dramatically worth a hundred times more that all the kisses that Emily as shared with Dusty and Chris the last few days.
