Liveblogging "As The World Turns": "Hey, At Least WE'LL Still Be Around!"

Rumor has it we may discover something SHOCKING about Reid. But what could it be?

Join us for the fun and refresh for updates!

2:05PM EST: You may have to bear with me me. I've been a little ... behind ... in my ATWT watching.

Reid runs into Luke coming out of the police station, and when Luke mentions that his dad is going to prison, Reid, ever the sensitive soul, says "good dad or bad dad?" Luke has had it up to here, and pushes Reid against the wall, gets into his face and says "do you ever get tired of the sound of your own voice, because frankly, I'm sick of it!"

Katie is panicking because she thinks the baby swallowed a gigantic eye from a teddy bear. Seriously. She rushes out to the car, but when it won't start, she gets out and starts walking across the street. She doesn't notice the car barreling down on her until the last minute, and slowly hops out of the way. The driver of the car jumps out and helps Katie, who is now ... sprawled on the ground? That wasn't exactly a "leap for your life" she took. Katie looks up and sees that it's Chris Hughes! But not the last Chris Hughes (remember, the blond god who was always shirtless), but a new Chris Hughes, who I believe was actually one of the old Chris Hughes's, but I could be wrong.

2:15PM EST: Hot Angry Luke still has a grip on Reid and says "I know that you don't care, but this could be the last time I see my father Damian". Reid says "well, at least you have a spare". Okay, that was funny, but for some reason Luke doesn't think so, and says "do you have any idea how many people you hurt?" Reid says "Like who?" and Luke says "Me, for instance, dragging Noah off to Texas". Reid calls Luke a "spoiled little brat" and tells him that when he kisses Noah goodbye "make sure you do it with a smile".

Barbara and Henry continue their road show of Harold & Maude, with Babs holding up a dress and insinuating that Henry wants to wear it. Henry says "I hope you're not questioning my manhood" and Babs says "That's one thing about you I will never question". The camera doesn't show it, but I'm pretty sure Babs just gave Henry's junk a squeeze. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

2:25PM EST: Reid comes home to find Katie and Chris, and Chris accuses Reid of cheating him out of some med school fellowship. Reid calls Chris "Doogie Hughes, M.D." and dismisses Chris's accusations as sour grapes.

Noah comes home to take care of a few things before he leaves for Texas. He tells Luke that he's canceling the adoption that everyone already forgot about. Luke wants to know how he's going to afford the operation and recovery., and Noah tells him that Reid is taking care of everything, and he'll pay him back by being a cameraman for some research study. Hmm ... this has "White Slavery Ring" written all over it. Poor Noah is going to end up being some Russian mobster's beyotch.

Henry comes over to Katie's house and tells her that he's going to step aside so she can be with Reid. Chris overhears and starts laughing. He looks at Reid and says 'are you going to tell them or should I?" Reid says matter-of-factly "I'm gay".

2:40PM EST: Luke and Noah have a sweet goodbye, without shouting, or threats, or self-pity ... just two guys professing how much they mean to each other. Very nice. And long overdue.

Henry is blowing his stack about Katie not telling him that Reid is gay. Katie kicks him out. Very nice. And long overdue.

Noah promises to call Luke as soon as he gets settled. Both teary-eyed, Luke says "i know you're confused about us, and I am too, but I love you". They then kiss passionately. Maybe it's just me, but I'm liking this Nuke a lot more than the old shouty Nuke. Oh yeah, Reid stares at them from a distance. Hmm ...

2:50PM EST: Luke comes out of the hospital room to see Reid jokingly raise his fists and saying "now I'm ready for you". Luke laughs, and apologizes. The two of them have an almost civil conversation about Damien and how he tried to change Luke, but soon Reid's asshat side comes through again and he says he's not going to be Noah's babysitter, and that Luke should get a life. Luke says "Noah is my life. it's called being in love. You should try it some time". Burn!

Bob and Kim try to convince Chris to stay. I don't know ... I'll have to see him shirtless before I decide.

Luke tells Reid "See you in Dallas", but Reid says "Hope not!". Luke walks away as Reid watches intently, mentally marking Luke's behind with a giant bullseye.

Preview Time: The doctor may return sooner than expected (like tomorrow) ... and when he does, we'll be here!
