Liveblogging "As the World Turns": Casey at the bat!
We've got good news and bad news, First the good news - Luke & Noah actually appear on As the World Turns twice this week: Today and Friday. What bounty! And today actually sounds promising. According to the spoiler:
Hmm, how extensive is this charade gonna be, I wonder? Okay, now for the bad news — regular Liveblogger Brian Juergens is still on jury duty today, so he won't be able to make his usual snarky hay with this turn of events. I'll fill in as best I can. Hey, maybe ATWT will make my job easier by throwing me a bone with a cowboy jack doll reappearance and/or scenes with Casey shirtless again. If it turns out to be a dull show then, hell, I'll just start making stuff up. Click on through the jump and refresh for to-the-minute updates... 2:57 EDT Previews: Grandma Emma wants to sell the farm. Good timing. Now that the gays have moved in property values are finally on the rise. 2:50 EDT: Luke, Noah & Ameera return to the Snyder farm and Grandma Emma tells them that the INS agent came by and pawed through their things. Luke heads out to the barn to do chores and Noah follows him. This would be their perfect opportunity to kiss. Noah even puts his arms around Luke and says, "No matter how cute you think Casey is - you belong to me!" Oh for chrissakes - kiss already! This is so annoying. I have to think that even little old church ladies in Kansas are more than ready to see these two swap spit. 2:41 EDT: At the coffee shop, Luke and Noah are trying to convince Casey to play along with this fake gay cover thing so he can spend more time with Ameera. Casey's a little squeamish but everyone seems to think it's a good idea except Ameera, aka the sad sack of Sadr City. She seems kinda bummed about it. What's her problem, I wonder? "Your my husband, Noah." She says. "I'll do whatever you want me to." 2:32 EDT: Noah and Luke show up at the coffee shop and Noah quickly races in to fake hug wife Ameera. The INS agent still thinks something is going on between Ameera and Casey. Luke lurches forward and hugs Casey. "He's my boyfriend! Look, we have matching haircuts and everything." As if to prove the point, Luke and Casey begin making out passionately - or as they like to call it: "knocking amulets." The INS agent retreats.
2:19 EDT: Casey, sporting a new pixieish hairdo, runs into Ameera at the coffee shop. Inside of thirty seconds he lets slip that he's an ex-con. That Casey sure has a way with the ladies. And what is with all those amulets he wears? It's like he's channeling Oh mighty Isis. Ameera moves to hold his hand, but just then that INS agent shows up and flashes his 2:13 EDT: Back out at the farm, Emma is fielding difficult questions from the INS agent. He can't believe Noah and Ameera don't share a bedroom. Emma claims it's a cultural thing, and besides Ameera snores like a truck driver. 2:12 EDT: Noah and Luke exchange longing looks (but predictably no saliva). 2:10 EDT: An ad for Macys featuring Martha Stewart, Mariah Carey, and even Donald Trump. I thought he and Martha hated each other? Anyhoo, if for some insane reason you want a "Trump tie" you can buy one at Macy's 2:07 EDT: Quaker Oats Lady has invited Matthew Perry 2.0 to move in so she can take care of him while he "recuperates." He warns her it's only temporary - you know - until she gets another inoperable brain tumor or something. 2:05 EDT: Grandma Emma is on the phone with a roof repairman. The doorbell rings and she waddles to the farmhouse door to find an INS agent. He's stopped by to check in on Noah and Ameera. He wants to investigate the bedroom. Pervert. I wonder what he's going to make of the sheet hung up to divide the bed, and Noah's stash of Mandate magazines?
2:00 EDT: Nuke, Casey & Ameera are touring the hallway that passes for ATWT's Oakdale U set. Ameera wants to get coffee but Luke begs off to do a paper for philosophy. Luke goes in to kiss Noah, but Noah shoves him away. Ah fudge, what a lousy way to start off this episode.

so, Emma wants to sell the farm?
This is the perfect opportunity for Holden to buy the farm (he does run his horse breeding business from there) and then Holden and Lily and their entire brood would never have to return to their 'house', a set that hasn't been seen in over a year. LOL
so, atwt can finally explain why there's a huge, empty house somewhere in oakdale that lily and holden have been paying on for a year and just letting it sit empty.
(that has been one of the things on this show that has bothered me the most :o )
Well, She Says She's Selling....
How ridiculous was it that
Mike Kasnoff/Paul Ryan
another great job, dennis.
Okay. . .
this is a minor quibble, but if they are going to show the baby on the show couldn't they at least get a real one or one that even remotely looks real? I get that it's a soap opera, but it looks incredibly bad when they show the fake thing and try to pass it off as a real baby when it's obviously fake.
Casey's cut
i actually liked this episode more than I thought I would.Liked the interaction between Casey and Luke...am i the only one who sees the sparks (just kidding).
PS I'm not sure I'm enjoying casey's cut, i liked the long shaggy dog look. He's still adorable though
"Lusey"
OK
OK the scene would take place at a treehouse at the back of Synder Farm. Luke presents Casey with a trunk and when Casey opens it he finds a small grey dog. Casey's cheeks blush as the small dog nuzzles his ear....
ah, sorry, but it will take another Canadian to decode my warped sense of humour.
Casey and Finnegan...
...and if Luke was wearing a polka-dot bow tie...okay yuk, I just grossed myself out.
I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.
and we have
and we have a winner!
I don't know what it is but every time I hear Casey I just remember that show.
Let's not go too far down that path.
i bet...
"I have to think that even little old church ladies in Kansas are more than ready to see these two swap spit..."
^ sadly I bet little old church ladies in kansas probably are swapping spit more than Nuke.
Ameera: "Everyone's getting
Ameera: "Everyone's getting what they want except me!"
Me: "No one's getting what they want EXCEPT you! Shut up!"
What is her problem? If she's been in touch with Cap'n Pervy, maybe he's convinced her that Luke turns "hetero" boys gay and she's worried that she'll lose her new boy toy to his charms. Casey, for his part, seemed really opposed to the idea. Is he worried about how Matt will react? Ha!
Good Work
Good work Dennis!
LOL : Oh Mighty Isis! I remember / loved that show.
Can't see them selling the farm. What other common room / set could you have so many characters interact in? How would the real estate ad read. Spacious farm house, 20 odd bedrooms, 1 kitchen and a few unused rooms....
George W. Bush or Ameera - who do I dislike more.
RE: George W. Bush or Ameera - who do I dislike more....
Come on! It has to be Ameera. We know George will disappear in January 2009, I have no confidence that Ameera will do the same.
Line of the day:
"2:57 EDT Previews: Grandma Emma wants to sell the farm. Good timing. Now that the gays have moved in property values are finally on the rise. "
That's exactly what Oakdale needs! Gays to move in, fix up the nerighborhood, and drive up property values. I can only imagine we never see the rest of the farm because Emma needs to higher a designer. ;)
I think this story could get more interesting. Now the four of them can hang out and Luke doesn't have to look like the 5th wheel all the time. It's very Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice!
Luke and Casey is a ZILLION times hotter than Luke and Noah
I'm waiting for your "Lusey"
Could Luke be more clueless?
You know, for the child of a major soap opera supercouple Luke is embarrassingly naive!
He's only just now noticing that Ameera may think there's more to her marriage to Noah than just immigration?
Dude, get a grip on your man and let the INS ship Plot Device back to St Olaf!
Agreed
Agreed that Luke was really naive today.
He's thinking that he can kiss Noah in public and that the INS visits are something that was said just to scare them ? ? ?
Of course we had Luke trying for a kiss today. Now that there is an official excuse for keeping the boys apart we'll get more of the these aborted attempts at affection.
Food fetish back again ? So Noah goes after Luke to the barn not because they could have some alone time (well until the roofer shows anyway) but because of the brownies. And lets forget the Lip Lock Clock and start the Caffeine Count Clock and see just how long any of these 3 can go without a coffee fix. Say maybe they could sell the farm and a Starbucks would open up.
I think Psionycx is correct that Noah and Ameera will end up sleeping together at some point. Given what Noah said today to cover up their sleeping arrangements, they are going to have to move off of the farm and get their own place soon.
It Is True That.....
Noah and Ameera will have to share living quarters. Gwen and Will are going to offer them their cottage (cause they're leaving town and taking Hallie with them - YAY!) on Friday's show. But even if they do move I don't forsee them sleeping together, though it's obvious that's what Ameera wants. Even when he gets his own place, Noah will still be stuck out on the sofa! Lucky for him Lucinda, Luke's grandma, owns it so he won't have to get a job to pay the rent......
Really *loving* the Cake (Lusey?) friendship!
In the middle of angst, you need some fun moments to pull you through, and I thought Luke's teasing of Casey added some great humour to the situation. That scene also established the comraderie between Casey and Luke, which is important, since they're old friends.
It's interesting how they showed Casey's fear or discomfort with being perceived as gay. Some fans thought that scene was homophobic. I think with the way Luke was joking around, they did show that it is kind of a silly fear for Casey to have.
You are correct! I'm
Oh Please!
Casey's secret
Casey said he was often beat up while in jail. Perhaps he's reluctant to play gay because he was raped there. How would that affect Nuke? Would Luke end up comforting Casey?
Casey and Matt perhaps.
