Liveblogging "As The World Turns": It's Alive!

There promises to be a lot of juicy over-the-top drama on today's episode of As The World Turns, so we're here to help you feel your way through.

Is Riley really Margo's son? If so, then that means he's Casey's brother, which means the fantasies I've been having about the two of them has taken on a new Supernatural element.

And what of Noah and his big, bad poppa? How far will Colonel Mayer go for revenge against his son?

Join us to find out, and remember to refresh often for breaking updates!

1:50PM EDT: Can one man do the unthinkable and attempt two liveblogs in as many hours? Will he survive with his sanity intact? We'll see.

2:05PM EDT: Riley is cradling Margo's bullet riddled body and keeps calling her "mom". When she comes around, he switches to "Margo". Casey, Luke, and Noah are in the police station when Luke is called away for something with the "foundation'. Casey decides to head home while Noah heads to Java.

2:10PM EDT: Casey comes home and sees Margo on the ground with Riley standing over her, and goes hotly ballistic. He screams "whatthehelldidyoudotoher?" (as if it was all one word), but Margo tells Casey to be nice ... to his brother! What a total shocking ... inevitability!

2:15PM EDT: Hey, a new show opening! Noah is about to enter Java when Col. Mayer grabs him from behind and covers his mouth. Noah is all "whaaa ...?" Margo continues to insist that Riley is Casey's brother, and Riley admits that he really is the presumed-dead Adam. Casey looks like his head is ready to jettison from his body.

2:17PM EDT: Col. Mayer tells Noah that he returned to "work things out", and when Noah sees that he's been shot, insists he get to the hospital. Col. Mayer agrees, but only if Noah will first go someplace private with him, to "talk". Noah agrees. Because he wouldn't be the Noah we love if he hadn't.

2:20PM EDT: Luke heads over to see Noah, but the hot Java guy tells him that he hasn't seen him (and he asks Luke "trouble in paradise?", which instantly earns him my undying love).

2:25PM EDT: Luke finds Noah's discarded backpack, and heads over to ask Damian if there are any "crazy Grimaldis" running around. If? At the hospital, Margo is wheeled into surgery, and Casey demands an explanation from Riley/Adam.

2:30PM EDT: The Colonel brings Noah back to his office/underground bomb shelter to sweatily tell him how sorry he is, and that he wants Noah to go on the lam with him. Noah says "no effing away", and tells his dad to get lost.

2:35PM EDT: Casey and Riley Adam have it out, and Riley confesses that he was in a explosion and had plastic surgery, and came back looking ... spectacular. Casey says "you're still a liar and I don't want to have anything to do with you".

2:40PM EDT: Damian helps Luke find out where the Colonel is possibly keeping Noah, and the two of them set off for the docks.

2:45PM EDT: I absolutely love it when ASWT goes "on location". Today it's the docks, which means Luke and Damian (who have exactly the same hair) get to play "Grimaldi & Son". Damian meets the Colonel's henchman, but Luke steps on a twig or something and alerts the bad guys to the situation. Damian and Luke give hilarious chase, and poor Van Hansis looks about to ready to pass out numerous times.

2:50PM EDT: In what may be the funniest scene this show has ever given us, a huffing and puffing Luke and Damian hold the bad guy by his feet and dangle him over the water.2:50PM EDT: Margo tells Casey that she doesn't want to tell Tom the truth about Adam, because if people find out, she'll have to arrest Adam for all of the pre-surgery stuff he did, and she doesn't want to do that. Casey understandably says "But you didn't have a problem throwing me in jail!"

2:55PM EDT: Luke catches up with Noah, but Noah begs Luke not to call the police. As Luke pleads with him, the Colonel tries to slink away, but Damian is there to stop him. Luke convinces Noah that he must turn his father in, or it will always haunt him. As the Colonel hilariously writhes in torment on the ground, Noah calls the police to turn him in.

Preview Time: No Nuke, but plenty of Casey and Adam.

    Of course...

    NUKE

     I thought that but i reallly would like to see the video clips that we have been getting as we here in Australia  don't have the luxury of actually being able to watch the show . The clips were my only fix of Nuke

    Nuke Clips

    You should hit up Youtube.  There are several people posting ATWT clips with various degrees of completeness, depending on how much story you want.  It's not quite as convenient as having them collected here in one spot, but if you create an account and subscribe to the feed, it's not that hard to keep up with, as new clips will automatically show up in your subscription folder.

    Anthony has one feed.  Lukevanfan has one going all the way back to Noah's first appearance, Markdutchviewer goes all the way back to Van's first day as Luke  (!), but is still catching up to the present (and has Dutch subtitles, which doesn't bother me, but does some people).  And finally, bombayhighway includes not only Nuke clips, but also other storylines of interest, primarily Casey.  (With names in the clip titles so you can pick and choose the ones you want.)  Whew! 

    And, of course, there are the full episodes streamed on CBS' website.

    Is Winnie the Poop in love

    One Thing...

    Jake isn't as godawful as I thought he'd be.  He's still not good though.  And DHK is WAY OTT!

    I have to disagree

    I think Jake did some of his better acting today. I was writhing on the couch from all the twists and turns that were going on. It was a fun drama-filled day in Oakdale today, and definitely one of the better episode. The whole Margo/Adam thing I could have done without.

    Oakdale Torture....

    Was that Oakdale's version of waterboarding?

    YES

    That is exactly what I was thinking! Luke and Damian waterboarding an army officer! And don't they look like father and son? With the hair? I hate Damian's hair that way because he is too old for that look and way too good looking to wreck with that dumb mess job, but still, it makes them look a lot alike. 

     

     

    Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy.

    "You take one leg and I'll take the other"

    Did Damian just upend Hasbro with Luke and say something about the hazards of not "opening up willingly?" Surely the writers are having some fun here.

    TRUE. (lmao)

     I love the dude-itude of this episode!  And given the father-son focus, they should have broadcast this episode on Father's Day.

    It seems Van

    is working on gym lately, he looks great in that black t-shirt

    Really?

    I couldn't tell my eyes kept focusing on his bad hair.
    jjose712's picture

    His hair is distracting

    It has it's own life, and has a mutation every few episodes

    Undying love

    Gee, Colonel didn't seem to hate the gay today ?!

    Or, did I miss something? ... I mean - with the proper meds, I can easily see him requesting a furlough from prison, so he can give Noah away at the wedding.

    My original post has apparently been lost.  Probably hit "preview" and forgot to come back and hit "post."

    That preview:  They had better not try to give Riley/Adam moral high ground over Casey.  They certainly both come off badly in this mess, but Rilam is much worse.  He needs to be groveling until Casey feels mike forgiving him, not telling Casey the problem is on him!

    And while I'm not nuts about Luke's hair, I'm glad for anything that doesn't make him look like a little kid, unlike that hair he sported for about 3 years.

    I just had to say it. I love that Supernatural reference. Or any, for that matter.

    This curly-haired guy who

    This curly-haired guy who hangs out here 24/7 -- and who has macho cred up the wahzoo -- pointed out that "Hasbro" isn't a real name -- it's the combo of something "Has" and "Brothers" to make the company name for Hasbro Toys -- which happen to make G.I. Joe (the curly-haired guy collects said G.I. Joe "action figures" -- don't dare call them dolls!). Thought I'd pass that on -- someone on the show has a sense of humor about this plotline!
