I was laughing all the way through these scenes.  So outrageous, I love it.  Does it seem to anyone else like the show was having Luke and Noah talk to US at the end - by talking about themselves as "the Luke and Noah story" "invent yourself however you want to be" "hope our story is not boring and predictable" etc.?   (If they had referred to themselves Nuke I would have fallen off my chair)

I cannot believe this! Not just all the hilariously over-the-top food subtext, but some of the dialogue was really great... Luke talking about his "quote lifestyle unquote", and a mention of how the Production Code wouldn't show same-sex couples... hah, it's like a mix of Queer As Folk and The Celluloid Closet... ON DAYTIME TV... They're really doing us proud IMO, it makes up for all that gap where Luke and Noah weren't really shown. It almost (but not quite) makes up for mistletoe and cheek kisses.

What a fun way to let us know what going on with the Nuke story line on the show.

i think they should've eaten hotdogs today instead of the sandwiches....talk about some serious innuendo-ing right there. haha :-P

...and said, "You know I'll always be around..." and paused for dramatic effect, I swear I thought he was going to say "...to eat your meat!"

This past week has been one of the most stressful and unhappy weeks of my life. The only bright spot, the only thing that's brought a smile to my face has been the artful camp of ATWT--the sexual banter between Luke and Noah, Emily and Paul playing Nick and Nora Charles, Evan going batsh*t crazy, Chris sneering with glee, and Meg getting a backbone. This is why we have soap operas, and I thank God for that.

What a strange episode this was today, from all the sexual double entendres between Luke & Noah about eating meat to the campy mix of the Jessica Fletcher wannabes (Lucinda, Lily, Paul, Emily, Holden) and the Oakdale Keystone cops routine.

Also, any scene involving Evan Walsh was simply and comically BAD. It's like the dialogue was written by 5th graders with the acting to match.

Thankfully, Nuke and Lily & Holden at the end were there to pick up the slack.

I'm trying to imagine the conversation in the ATWT writers room:

The fans are calling for Luke and Noah to kiss and show some physical affection.

Oh no, we can't do that.  It will offend the Christians.  Let's have them talk about sex instead.  I'm picturing hot dogs and sub sandwiches.  And maybe a hot gay sex orgy they don't go to.

Won't that offend the Christians too?

Nope.  It'll go right over their heads!

In the course of three all too short scenes they went from sexual chemistry, actual heat to U-Haul lesbians. Their scenes were fine but frustrating on a level they weren't meant to be. If they really wanted to portray these two as "real" they'd be all over each other. Who can deny that? They flirt and play at each other like any two gay guys and we all know where that leads. For a brief moment the two of them actually had dicks on that show and then it just digressed into some Wachovia Investment: Plan your Future moment. At the least these two would do A LOT more kissing if they were real.
