Luke and his dad on ATWT chat about boyfriends and "hooking" up

We're still a little more than a month away from the debut of Noah (Jake Silbermann) as Luke's (Van Hansis) love interest on As The World Turns, but that doesn't mean the show has ignored the topic entirely. I just found these YouTube clips from the soap where Luke chats about his desire to have a boyfriend, why it hasn't happened yet, and trying to fit in. In this first clip, he chats about spring break with Holden (Jon Hensley), the coolest and hottest stepfather around. One of the interesting things ATWT did with Luke's storyline is have his father be the more understanding, sympathetic parent about his son being gay. (Here is a pic of Jake and Van at a GLAAD event.)

In this clip, Holden reaches out the best he can to help Luke deal with his desire to have a relationship. It's actually pretty sweet and we learn that Luke isn't the only gay boy at school!
