Liveblogging "As The World Turns" : WHOOPS!

Noah goes under Reid's scalpel today. Will the operation go smoothly? HA!

Join us for the fun and refresh for updates!

2:05PM EST: Oh, it's a Hienna episode. Henry is upset that Vienna used their special fur handcuffs on him without his consent. Vienna wants a baby, and if need be ... she'll take what she needs from Henry.

Katie has set Barbara up on a blind date, who turns out to be a local news anch ....wait a minute ....WTF? What's going on here? OMG, IT'S ELI from "that show that will not be named." If it's not him, it's his doppelganger. What's going on? I'm scared.

Chris runs into Reid and aks him if he's ready for that experimental surgery. Reid says "don't worry, Noah will be fine. I've performed this surgery lots of times. Well maybe a few. Once. Okay, I played the Nintendo DS version."

Butters runs into Alison. He starts talking but I'm not listening. I'm too busy picturing those nudie pics of him that have been circulating from a movie he did.

2:15PM EST: Luke comes in to Noah's hospital room and "whips out" something Noah used to love to play with. No, his camera! Luke starts filming while Noah apologizes again for acting the way he did all those months. Luke sits on the bed next to Noah and films the two of them together. Reid walks in and Luke looks away sheepishly.

Noah is about to to be taken away to surgery, and he grabs Luke's hand once last time. Luke tells Reid "take good care of him", and Reid says curtly "that's why you dragged me back here, isn't it?"

Oh jeez, Katie is still playing matchmaker, and sets up Chris and Alison, who go to the only movie theater in Oakhell and sit in the exact same seats that are used every time this show has a movie theater scene.

Henry just said "torn asunder."

2:25PM EST: Okay, it's definitely Eli. I wonder if TPTB at "that other show" knows he's moonlighting on the competition.

Butters walks in on Ali and Chris having a moment and sa .... um, nope. Still picturing him naked.

Katie (who's all up in EVERYONE's business today) rushes in to the hospital, but she's too late to give Reid a lucky four-leaf clover pin. She and Luke talk about how Reid reverted back to Asshat after he saw Luke and Noah together.

Noah is worried why the surgery hasn't started yet, and Reid tells him that his blood pressure spiked, and he has to calm down first. They start talking about what Reid looks like, and how Noah will finally be able to see him. Reid says "I have a comb over, buck teeth, and pot belly." That makes both of them laugh, and Noah starts to calm down. The operation commences

2:40PM EST: Katie is still convinced that Reid has changed, and credits Luke for it. I want a BFF like Katie.

Vienna is upset that Henry doesn't want a kid, and goes down to the bar to drown her sorrows ... and is joined by BUTTERS! Uh-oh.

2:50PM EST: Barbara is dressed like the mother of a Solid Gold dancer (and that, folks, is officially my 1000th Golden Girls reference.)

Butters and Vienna argue over who has the more pathetic love life. Two gorgeous people whining. I so love seeing that.

OMLG!: Noah is having a hysterical "vision" about filming a scene with Luke, who comes into focus bathed in backlight. It's so gauzy I expected Luke to start talking about "White Diamonds". We then come back to the real world as Reid starts saying "i'm losing him!" and that heart bleepy thing stars freaking out. Noah's dead!

Oh, wait. No he's not. Reid comes out to talk to Luke, and tells him that Noah might not get his sight back, and worse, there may be brain damage. They won't know until tomorrow's episode.

Preview Time: REID IS SHIRTLESS, FINALLY! oh yeah, and Noah may have brain damage.
