Liveblogging "As The World Turns": Hey Bro, You Like The Top or Bottom?

Bunks, people! I'm talking about bunks!

Noah is moving in to Luke and family's house to recuperate. I hope the doctor didn't tell him to avoid drama!

Join us for the fun and refresh for updates!

2:05PM EST: Jack and Carly finally run into the infamous Simon. Okay, I wasn't watching the show when Simon was on ... so is this the original Simon, an interim Simon, or a new Simon?

Luke is preparing to take Noah home. I hate to say this, but could someone please put a bag over Noah's head til that gross thing on his face heals? It's not like he'd notice.

Yeah! Molly has come back to Oakdale. Why do I like her? I know a drama queen when I see one!

2:10PM EST: Luke is trying to help Noah put his coat on, and Noah pushes him away, saying "I don't need anyone". Okay, I'm willing to give Noah some time to feel sorry for himself, but it won't be too much longer til I'll be wishing for Alan Arkin to show up. (my undying love to whoever gets that reference).

Molly is having lunch with Holden when Kim sees her and offers her a job. Apparently Molly left Oakdale after Kim fired her and called her a trollop, but I guess trollops are now the key demographic Kim is looking to woo.

2:20PM EST: I don't blame Carly for running away with Simon two years ago. I'd like to run away with him. Rawr!

Noah comes home with Luke and Lily, and there's an awkward scene when Damian walks in and Noah swallows his upper lip and says "get me out of here!"

Simon is about to pull a con on a rich couple involving some artwork, but Jack is on to him. He's just jealous because Simon is hot.

2:30PM EST: Molly is hesitant to stay in Oakdale because of all the rumors that will be spread. Please, her NYC meltdown is nothing compared to what's going on with everyone else in town.

I guess Jake's acting choice in playing blind is to just look down most of the time. I'm not saying it's not valid, it's just a little cliche.

2:40PM EST: Lily brings in flowers and says "the actors from your movie brought you flowers. See, aren't they beautiful?" Okay, she doesn't say that, she actually says "they smell wonderful', but I like my line better.

After Lily leaves, Noah asks Luke to retrieve the disc of his "film", and then says "trash it". Luke refuses, and Noah says "i though you said you'd do anything for me!" Luke says "anything except this", and places the disk in Noah's hand and stomps out.

Lily discovers that Molly is staying at the farm, and goes ballistic on Holden.

2:50PM EST: Noah tries to talk to Luke, but realizes he's not there. He regrets having run his punching bag off. Meanwhile, Luke runs into one of the actors from the film and says "how would you guys like to help me finish Noah's movie?".

Carly and Jack blink, and Simon disappears.

Damian pays off the state trooper to keep his silence. Hey, it's the Grimaldi way!

Preview Time: We're done with Oakdale, but tomorrow and Wednesday we'll be visiting Llanview.

    I have a bad feeling

    That for the next month all were going to get is Pity Noah and overcompensating Luke.

    Simon

    It's the one and only Simon.  The same guy has always played the role.

     

    So Luke is going to be Noah's punching bag?  Just like the last two years, eh?

     

    And they're not sharing a bedroom?  Just like most of the last two years, eh?

    ?

    This moving back home to the Lilypad is stupid.  Here Noah learn to walk around this place for a month and then we will give you a brand new place to fumble around again.

    So.....

    Will Luke stay in their apartment alone, despondent, scared and upset, while Noah's recuperates (feeling bitter at the world) at the Lilypad?

    Will TPTB please find someone to HUG and LOVE NICK CHAVEZ?

    This Simon

    is who most consider to be the "real" Simon. The one whom Carly abandoned her whole family to run away with a couple of years ago.

    ya know what is annoying?

    ya know what is annoying? Noah is probably gonna push luke away til one day he snaps and realizes he really needs Luke. by then, it will probably be too late or whatnot

    I've always found the character of Noah annoying....and...whiny.

    The show needs to....give him some...well, balls for lack of a better term. just let your damn boyfriend help you. get over yourself.

    *ahem*

    Seriously.

    Annoying, whiny, and about as smart as an avocado. I'd say he must be good in bed, but Luke doesn't seem to have a sex drive, so that can't be it.

    Just love how blind noah is

    Just love how blind noah is making full eye contact with Luke when they are fighting.

    Alan Arkin

    Wait Until Dark.

    Right, Snicks?

    snicks's picture

    Bingo!

    you win!
    Anthony D. Langford's picture

    OMG!

    Did Luke SERIOUSLY think now was the time for sex?

    Honest Mistake

    Seeing as how kissing is about the most affectionate thing they're ever allowed to do, it does seem like it would be easy to mistake going in for a lil' smooch as being attempted Nuke Sex.

    Of course, judging by the ONE WHOLE SCENE depicting the aftermath from when Noah stole Luke's precious flower, they established that Nuke Sex involves some bizarre mechanics which include wearing your jeans in the shower. Everyone else might call that "Gym Class for Nerds," but to Luke and Noah that's called "Makin' Whoopie!"

    Hard to tell for sure, of course, but I don't think that's what we saw here, today. ;Þ

    Damian

    Now this is the bad ass Damian I love.  Just pay the guy off.
    JusticeGH's picture

    I don't get this criticism

    @ Liz T (sorry...forgot to his reply and just added a new post to the thread) 

    at least not SOLELY of Noah.

    Luke does the same thing every time something goes wrong in his life.

    So if it were criticism of the writing or the show, I'd get it.  I just don't think it only applies to Noah. 

    Liz's picture

    wow...took me a while...

    wow...took me a while to realize you made a typo. had to read this about 20 times over and over again to finally understand what you meant to say

    (sorry...forgot to his reply and just added a new post to the thread)

    ^ haha, i was sitting here like "i am a woman....his reply? um, more like HER reply..."

    :-P

    Whoops

    Forgot to hit reply.  :)   Sorry to send you reeling...
    Liz's picture

    it's all good...

    as to answer your reply though...It's been forever since i have actually seen AWTW, so maybe i shouldn't of commented in the first place....but i think my reply also stems from not liking noah in the first place...so i've always favored luke a tad more...seriously, the last time i watched the show was when the whole mistletoe crisis happened. haha :-P

    I just pick up from what i read on the liveblogs. my bad.

    Feline = Female

    So, all the posters with a cat avatar are of the female persuasion? And all the dog avatars are guys (naturally)?
    Kitty's picture

    jef, since when in the world do you watch ATWT?!

    That girl/boy cat/dog thing is a little weird.

    About the episode: Ok episode. Can't believe Damian slept with NutMeg!!!!!

    Kitty

    This is not what we planned, and I know its hard to understand....but if this isn't what you need then pry my fingers from your hand. ~Darren Hayes

    Liz's picture

    Did Luke's room change since

    Did Luke's room change since the guys had sex in it back in January?  The door wasn't positioned at the foot of the bed for one thing, or is Noah in a guest room?
    Lazycrockett's picture

    Guest room

    I believe somewhere in the amazing writing its stated that Noah is in a guest room, You know there's no male on male action at the lilypad.
    Channing Capwell Jr.'s picture

    I couldn't tell you if it's Luke's bedroom or a guest room, but

    the headboard on the bed is the same as the one we saw in Luke's bedroom back in January, as well as the striped wallpaper behind bed .. lol!

    It could be like our multi-purpose room at The Lakeview where half the town lives ...  and Lily simply decorates the bedrooms at her home like her hotel.

    jmi2's picture

    wait a minute...

    Noah said he'd stay there until he got his own apartment.

    what happened to the apartment the two rented and moved into?

    did i miss something? i know luke moved back in to his mother's while the entire Holden thing was going on [remember the whole todo about not telling Noah?] 

    did they break the lease?
