Liveblogging "As The World Turns": Yeah, I got your "Extra Credit"!

I know it seems as though we've been ignoring the guys from Oakdale lately, but compared with the "gay & back from the dead" Phillip and the hilarious "I'll do anything ... I mean anything to keep my secrets" machinations of Adam on The Young & The Restless, and the burgeoning relationship of Kyle and Fish on One Life To Live, well ... Luke and Noah seem like "Dullsville: Population, 2".

But all that may change with the addition of Forbes March, who plays Noah's "college advisor". Will Noah be tempted? Will Luke look petulant? Will I be able to get through this liveblog without making a Mutant X reference? ... D'OH!

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

1:58PM EDT: Shouldn't Maura West be starting her maternity leave soon? They better cart Carly off to rehab soon.

2:05PM EDT: Luke has a big box of junk to move in, but sees the distressed look on Noah's face (which oddly, looks just like Noah's happy, angry, content, and frightened look). Noah is upset because he has no big college project to turn in. Luke reaches into the box, which is filled with comic books, cd's, and wouldn't you know, a fully written script that is perfect for Noah.

2:07PM EDT: Paul is feeling good about his latest evil plan, which involves duping poor, single-brain-cell Meg yet again. *sigh* Dusty and Damian have figured out his nefarious plan, and are plotting revenge.

2:10PM EDT: We get our first glimpse of Forbes March, who plays Professor Mason Jarvis. wait a minute ... Mason Jarvis? Um, did I write this script and don't remember?

2:15PM EDT: Noah gives Mason Jarofpeaches the script, and says "that's my new project". Meanwhile, Meg (who's working that new flip) lays down the law to Paul. *sigh*

2:25PM EDT: Luke tells his folks that he gave Noah the screenplay for his project, and they're all "what about your schooling"? and Luke shakes his head and says "I no need skool". Mason Jarofpearsinheavysyrup (ok, that's the last one) tosses the script down and says "It sucks. What loser wrote it?" Noah says "Luke, my boyfriend", and the professor 's eyes narrow. Noah says "I can't tell Luke that he has no talent", and Mason says "make me the bad cop. Tell him i wouldn't let you go ahead with it". Noah does have something he's written himself, and Mason says "it needs work, but I'll help you out with it". Uh-Oh.

2:35PM EDT: Dusty sets up his revenge plan, which apparently involves an action-movie briefcase bomb (but does it have a red-digital-readout?), and then Noah comes home to break the news to Luke that his script was a flop.

2:45PM EDT: Noah says "Mason is my advisor, and I must obey", and suggests Luke go back to school. Luke is aghast, and still can't believe that his script wasn't seen as the greatest thing ever written.

2:50PM EDT: Damian shows up to tell Dusty he can't go along with the whole "ombing-bay aul-pay" thing, but Paul is able to figure it out. Damian says "we were just going to scare you", as Meg rushes in to come to the wrong conclusion. *sigh*

2:55PM EDT: Meg actually believes someone other than Paul, and she and Damian get ready to leave when Dusty says "hold on, something's wrong with the timer on the bomb". UM... HOLD ON? Luke tells his folks that Noah won't be doing his script, and that he trusts him to do what's right.

2:56PM EDT: Dusty yells for Damian to get Meg out of the building, as Paul grabs the bomb, and in super-slo-mo climbs the steps. Meg watches in horror from the window with her one non-flip covered eye as the bomb explodes. Hot!

Preview Time: No Nuke, but Paul has a microchip in his brain. Is he a Stepford Wife?
