Liveblogging "As The World Turns": "The Writers Brought Sharkey Back"

Noah seems to think Luke might be homoflexible despite no evidence to support it, and we see a return of a liveblog favorite - Sharkey!

Join us for the fun below, and refresh often for breaking updates.

1:55PM EST: They finally let Brooke take a shower on The Bold and the Botoxed. It had been since Friday, poor girl.

2:05PM EST:We start with the begginings of a Snyder catfight with Lily and Meg. Holden walks in and breaks the Bro Code by interrupting a chick fight.

Luke has a really ugly summer suit on, and espouses greed and nerves. And voices the elephant in the room, which for once isn't pink, but green: he is unqualified for his high paying job. And he wants to take Noah to a business dinner. Classy!

Noah and Mason are grading his screenplay in the diner, and plan on seeing an "independent film" wink-wink, and having a beer after. College independent films, I've heard about those.

It's even less sexy than it looks.

Holden tells his sister that the Damien is evil, and she leaves. He then calls Lily out on the fact that she's in the mood for Italian for dinner.

2:20PM EST: Lily/Holden blah-blah-blah. Lily goes chasing after Meg, who's run to Damien to cry about everyone being mean to her about Damien buying her a pharmaceutical company.

The plot begins unraveling as Damien invites her to his shipping business dinner. Noah and Luke meet in the alley to discuss nepotism in Luke's life, and something about Noah's. They agree to a beer after work.

Hunter makes a really big mistake and actually repeats his whole test-tube-baby/stolen eggs/parentage/job storyline outloud, and i remember how bad the writing is.

2:30 PM EST:  There's some stuff with Paul and Emily, which is again, kind of funny, since the dialog reflects how silly the story is, with the microchip in the brain and the personality reset.

Lily charges into the Snyder kitchen to call out Meg for making her look like a cheating whore when she hasn't had the chance for the Italian dinner yet .

Luke enters dinner, and discovers the client has brought him a girl. He makes a polite excuse and leaves without sitting down.

Noah discovers than he's got a private screening with Mason in a really hideous theater with twelve royal blue seats.

And Meg and Lily continue calling each other whores who flit from one man to another.

2:40PM EST:  Lily demands that Meg not call her a whore when she hasn't had the chance.

Damien chases Luke down to find out why he ran out, and Luke throws the whole de-gaying camp kidnapping thing back at him. Damien denies that it's a blind date, and Luke folds, because they only have one day this week to tell his storyline.

Lily demands Holden break up Meg and Damien, and he decides to sacrifice his sister to the evil that is Damien rather than risk his marriage, since Lily is so obviously hot for Luke's- bio-dad.

In the weirdest plot turn, upon Meg's arrival at dinner, the client leaves his daughter with Luke, and says they'll meet tomorrow. Then Damien leaves with Meg. So we have Luke, alone with cute girl in the fancy restaurant.

Today's plot brought to you by: 

2:45PM EST:  These liveblogs are tougher these days, because the characters seem to be breaking the fourth wall and snarking about the plot directly.

2:50PM EST:  Noah walks into Luke's business dinner dressed for field work on the farm, and sees Luke alone, giggling with the dayplayer. He pops up, and introduces his boyfriend, Noah. She looks crestfallen, and is all "I didn't realize..." and he's like "Yep, totally gay." She gives him a peck on the cheek, and her day on the set is over. Hope they validate parking.

Noah, however, jumps to the same conclusion about the girl that Luke seemed to.

2:55PM EST:   Paul's going to buy Emily a newspaper. No, not an copy from the corner store - the whole thing.

Luke teases Noah about being jealous, and reminds him it couldn't have been a de-gaying dinner, since Noah had been invited. Noah sounds skeptical, but Luke promises him nookie, so the thought leaves his little head. It was lonely there anyhow.

I feel like this is what's onscreen:

And Lily tells Damien to do whatever to Meg he wants. Since they're naked in bed together, I think he read ahead.

Preview Time: No Nuke, but check out the hot Mary Jane action in Daytime Driveby later today!
