ATWT video clip update: Frenching step-grandpappy

I love the movement that Noah makes just after they have their little wrestling match, like he wants to stroke Luke's hair but thinks better of it and lowers his hand. It's very subtle, very a la Christian and Olli, makes their interaction even better and more organic.

And I'm pretty sure this is the greatest development in about a year on this show. I think that the farmhouse has this homoerotic pull that is activated by Luke having his shirt off though... post swimming towel fight ring any bells? :D

Are you kidding me?

I don't see this storyline going anywhere. What. Is Lady Drumstick not going to believe Luke? Is Lily not going to believe Luke? This is ridiculous. I bet this storyline will fizzle just like all the others. I certainly do NOT see Luke continuing to make out with Wheatables.

Again, the only thing that will continue to make any of this interesting is Brian Juergen's Liveblogging.

Usually I can think of something to say that has value, but after watching today's episode I am really wondering if there is any value in commenting at all.  Where in hell are the writers going with NUKE?  They have been all over the place since the Ameera debacle last winter/spring.  Now this?? 

I watched this clip after reading the recap for Brothers and Sisters and watching the posted clips on LUKEMACFARLANE.ORG.   Compare.  

Kevin/Scotty storyline - GOOD FOR GAY CAUSES....especially the last scene in last Sunday's episode - public kiss between two loving gay men who are married (ok..domestic partnered)...and this just after Prop 8 was passed.   Bravo to ABC.

Then NUKE - NOT GOOD AT ALL.  The relationship between Noah and Luke has been trashed by the writers.  All the hope we viewers had of a show on daytime showing a loving challenging relationship between two gay teen age boys has been tossed in the dumpster.  Shame on the writers and producers on ATWT.  

Relationships get trashed all the time. That's part of the fun. The  trouble with Nuke up to now was that there's been nothing going on. Plot ideas bubble up then grind to a halt. Now Luke's a mess and he longs to win Noah back. But, but -- what's this? WHEATABLES WANTS TO DO THE HORIZONTAL MAMBO!

OMG -- WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LADY DRUMSTICK FINDS OUT????

Fabulous news no matter how you slice it in Soap terms. For suddenly this ailing show has become a Must See! 

Wheatables didn't come across as creepy at all, until the last few seconds, just before Luke says "What the hell was that?", he genuinly seemed like he was trying to be comforting, even the kiss on the forehead, and the stroking of the hair seem to jive with the comforting thing, just the liplock crossed the line.  If he hadn't been kind of creepy in earlier episodes, we probably wouldn't have too many problems with what he did... of course coming right on the heels of his wedding to Lucinda makes this really interesting. Looking forward to more developments in this storyline.

Um, why in the name of all things homo would P&G and/or the ATWT writers allow Brian and Luke to have sex but not allow Noah and Luke to have sex.

I just can't see how that would make any sense.

I guess I'd assumed that Noah would be mad for a minute but then get past some of his anger and come back to rescue sad Luke from his backsliding ways. At least I'm still hoping.

Do folks think sex between Luke and Brian is somehow less threatening to those in control of the show than it would be between Luke and Noah?

If anything, it seems like it would be even more "taboo" to have an intergenerational gay couple having sex particularly when the older of the two is married to the grandmother of the younger of the two.

Do folks really think Luke and Brian "getting it on" is at all within the realm of possibility for P&G or the ATWT writers?

I'm into the drama of the "what ifs" but I just can't imagine how they'd recover from that. Is kiss is just a kiss but any more than that and I just wouldn't see the point.

"Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common." (Dorothy Parker)

Sure, it's creepy, but Brian is kind of hot for an older dude.

If he weren't involved with Lucinda, I'd tell Luke to go for it. Age ain't nothin' but a number, as the song goes.

First, I've seen Van drunk and he does it better in person.  This was laugh out loud funny and so not even remotely believable.  It was just silly.  Unintentionally hilarious. 

And the editing and camera positions...jesus!  I know they're cutting back but what are they doing...mounting cameras on countertops and hoping they're in focus so they can film during their lunchbreaks?

Also, as a historical soap note, romantic triangles usually don't work if the core couple aren't a couple, with all the trappings that go along with.      

And I thought that I might like to see the old Jamie from Another World kissing Luke but I don't.  It's disgusting.  And creepy.  And it goes to show that the writers simply don't have enough imagination to give Luke/Noah intensity w/out adding in the icky factor.  What about a boy their own age? 

What a terrible waste this has been.
