ATWT Update: Duck, Luke, duck!

You'd think after the massacre up at the lake this past summer, that rascally Luke would know better than to go up into the woods with someone who just might have it out for him. But n-o-o-o-o. As Brian liveblogged today, despite Mattie's warnings, Luke and Noah head out to the woods with Colonel Pervy who keeps telling Noah how much he loves him. And not in that normal fatherly way, but in a "I-have-to-tell-you-now-because-I'm-either-going-to-kill-myself-or-go-to-prison-after- I-do-something-really-bad" kind of way. Here are Friday's clips so you can see all the action — and next week's previews! The clip is after the jump!

    Sorry, but as Liz points out in the comment below

    you can't take another site/source's entire article and post it somewhere else. Not only is it not cool, it's illegal. Feel free to post a little bit and link back to the original. Unlike some sites, we're more than happy if you link to other sites you feel folks would be interested in. True, we want you to hang out here as much as possible, but more than that we want folks to share as much info about the shows we love with each other.

    He Does Kiss Her, But....

    After finding out about his father murdering the mother he thought was dead and Luke nearly getting killed by his father twice (and now he's paralyzed), he gets drunk and kisses Maddie. He quickly realizes what he is doing is wrong and tells Maddie it meant nothing (pretty much like their relationship). Anyway, he feels so guilty about what happened to Luke that he makes plans to leave town. However, Dusty talks him out of it, making him realize how much Luke means to him. That's when Noah goes to Luke's bedside for some probably very emotionally teary scenes.

    My poor, poor Luciano!

    Gah!

    Col. Mayer is going to pay!

    One, for what he did to Luke! My poor baby!

    Two, for not letting us see what could happen down by the lake!

    Oh, and I completely agree Anthony. Well, not "agree" lol, but back up what he said.

    WTF!

    I realize that paralyzing one member of a new couple is de rigueur for soap operas but that doesn't make me any less pissed off and suspicious at the producers of ATWT. I do not relish the thought of having Luke in recovery for 8 Months of real time while all we get are filler stories and Noah cheating on Luke with some other new guy(without sex of course). I really think that this was the producers way of dodging the consummation issue. I know that the producers have to be aware of the anti-gay religious groups danger but it is still disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I will still strongly follow the Nuke Storyline on Afterelton, it's just that: don't we kind of already know that this relationship is being somewhat scuttled.

    "I do not relish the thought of having Luke in recovery for 8 Months of real time while all we get are filler stories and Noah cheating on Luke with some other new guy"

    ^ yeah, er...i don't think this will be happening. don't know where you got 8 months out of the spoilers. TPTB know they have a huge hit on their hands with Nuke.....if they were put on the backburner all of a sudden, they would get some seriiiious angry fanmail. ...also, blogs, etc would be calling them out on it. it would not be pretty. with all that said, i really would not worry if i were you.

    I second Liz. So far CBS has done

    nothing but right by this storyline with their gay fans. I honestly expected the whole thing between Luke and Noah to be dragged out much longer than it was. The guys are dating, we've had very hot kisses, and I'm sure next week we're going to be getting some very tender Nuke moments.
    Joseph's picture

    Liz and Michael are right...

    ...TPTB know that they have a hit with the Nuke storyline; about a month ago, Luke and Noah become ATWT's #1 most popular couple in the Soap Opera Digest poll--a position Carly and Jack have held for at least the last decade (and Van Hansis replaced Roger Howarth as ATWT #1 fave actor).

    Just as Carly will probably discover a miracle cure for her brain lesion, Luke will probably be able to walk again in just a few days--of course, keeping in mind that a day in Oakdale can last an entire week (or more). What they're doing is a traditional soap opera technique, what I like to call the Delayed F**k Syndrome--where something keeps a couple from consummating their relationship to keep viewers tuning in.  And, I wouldn't be surprised if Luke and Noah finally making love will be a major sweeps event (hopefully November, I don't want to wait until February).

    I just voted in the poll, but

    where are the results posted?
    Joseph's picture

    They're published only in the magazine...

    not on the web; I don't have an issue or I'd scan it for you.

    Also, re the SOD poll...

    ...their poll for the next issue deals with ATWT, asking viewers what are they most looking forward to this fall: Paul and Rosanna's wedding; Carly and Jack's reunion; Emily and Chris returning to Oakdale; or more development in the Luke and Noah romance...vote here: http://soapoperadigest.com/polls/

    Currently, Luke and Noah are leading by 60%!!!

    Scuttle the relationship?

    I don't think they would scuttle the relationship just to avoid showing the boys having sex. Good grief, they could just "move in together and fade to black as night falls"....you know...over and over. With kisses. I don't think it's a problem. I think they are setting up for lots of soapy high drama as Noah hangs by Luke's bedside while he recovers, while lamely trying to make it look like he will "never walk again" but ignoring the fact that fans are all over the sneak peaks, reviews and interviews with the actors. I guess there are some fans that don't read forums and haven't a clue what will happen the next day! Kind of knowing what's going to happen sort of adds to the fun!

    And totally off topic...Roger Howarth went over a cliff and survived as Todd on OLTL and went over a cliff and survived as Paul on ATWT. You'd think these writers could come up with new stuff!!!! I can't believe I'm hooked on another soap after all these years. (don't you think Paul flung Meg awfully hard onto the bed so soon after her receiving a head wound bad enough to render her unconscious for what must have been quite a while? Now, that's something Todd would have done)

     

     

    If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

    I Think.....

    CBS has done an excellent job with this story so far and it only looks like things are going to be more interesting for Luke and Noah. When Noah first debuted five months ago, I couldn't imagine what they were going to do or where they'd go with the story, but they've managed to exceed my expectations, which frankly weren't very high. It's amazing where they have gone and what they've done in a relatively short amount of time. I frankly expected them to still be dragging out the story, with clueless Maddie constantly walking in on yet another sexually intense scene between Luke and Noah and asking what's going on, them making up another lie and so on and so forth. But they've actually gotten past all that, the triangle is over and the show are focusing on the pair as a couple dealing with typical soap fare and that doesn't bother me as I love angst and suffering. I don't expect that Luke will be paralyzed for too long and Van Hansis has already said that Luke and Noah will get through this and emerge from it stronger as a pair. ATWT realizes what a unique and unexpected success they have on their hands so I trust they'll keep up the good work.

    Count me in...........

    I also felt like they decided to paralyze Luke as a way to delay any "intimate"  scenes between our two love birds. It is a soap and I understand the DFS (see Joseph's comment), but I still fell they used it to keep their more conservative viewers from getting the icks.

    i don't want TPTB............

    i actually don't want the TPTB to rush luke and noah having sex. i don't really like how they are instant boyfriends all of a sudden - - i want buildup....so if they need to delay any sex scene for luke and noah to get to know each other better, than that's fine with me. i hope they do that.
