Liveblogging "As The World Turns": The Eyes of Noah Mayer

After yesterday's hot shoving match, can Noah see clearly that Luke is on his side, or will he be blinded by his ambition? Hopefully his trust of Mason won't blow up in his face.

Join us for the fun and refresh for updates!

2:05PM EST: Noah tells Dean Wormer that nothing inappropriate happened between him and Mason, but the Dean tells him he has "irrefutable proof". It better be more than that forehead kiss. He asks Noah to tell Mason to come in, then leave.

Noah calls Luke and asks him to meet him at Java. Luke basically tells Lily "Noah is a drama queen about this film".

Some stuff about Mike having to race a car, and Jack taking his place because Mike's hands shake from his accident, and Jack is having a midlife crisis/emotional breakdown and I guess driving a race car will help heal his troubled soul/make him feel like a man again.

2:15PM EST: Noah is very testy that SOMEONE TOLD THE DEAN THAT MASON WAS ACTING INAPPROPRIATELY, LUKE. This elicits a "Luke" look from Luke.

Holden wants joint custody of the kids, so they can be raised in a "wholesome environment". Um ... so where in Oakdale would that be? ... besides Luke and Noah's bedroom. ZING!

Luke says he had nothing to do with it, and Noah believes him. Well, that was way too easy. So how long before Noah suspects Luke again?

2:25PM EST: Carly tells Jack "that bitch car can't love you the way I do!". Or maybe she tries to talk him out of racing.

Mason stumbles onto the rooftop, drunk, and tells Noah that he's been fired for sexual misconduct.

Luke asks Damian if he turned the video into the Dean, and Damian says "but of course". After some half-hearted complaining, Luke more or less says "all's well that ends well. Thanks!"

2:35PM EST: Mason tells Noah that Luke is the only one who could've ratted him out, but Noah doesn't believe him ... until Mason points out that someone turned the video of the EXPLICIT FOREHEAD KISS into the Dean.

Jack is racing to what sounds like a low-rent ripoff of "I Can't Drive 55" when Carly and company are amazed that he's actually pulling ahead ... of the professional racers ... and wins the race. I guess he had a guardian angel helping him out. "Brad, Take The Wheel!"

Luke comes to the rooftop to see Noah, but Mr. Mayer accuses Luke of giving the Dean the ammunition to shut down the film. meanwhile ... the next scene of the "film" involves ... fireworks. Just FYI.

2:45PM EST: Luke tells Noah that Damian gave the dvd to the Dean, and Noah says "it's still your fault. Now my film is going to be ruined, and it was all for nothing. Mason never could have touched my love for you! Now excuse me, but I go have to film a dangerous scene involving fireworks, which I'm sure will go off without a hitch even though I'm still upset and not thinking clearly."

2:55PM EST: Luke tries to talk sense into Noah, and is startled when Noah brings out a bunch of FIREWORKS. Concerned, Luke says "You shouldn't be handling those. Don't you have an effects person?" Noah says "this is a student film, of course not". As Noah climbs up to set up the fireworks, Luke continues to nag him about doing something so dangerous, and Noah basically tells him to shut up.

Mason stumbles up to Holden and says "are you the S.O.B. that turned that DVD in?" Holden rolls his eyes and says "I think you want Luke's other father"

Noah is having trouble with the fireworks and decides to cross a couple of wires. Oh Noah. The fireworks explode in his face, catapulting Noah off the ladder onto the rooftop, as Luke looks on in slo-mo horror. YES! I Love it! Finally, something interesting with our guys (or at least a chance for some scenery chewing).

Preview Time: Noah has a very gross wound around his eyes. Oh yeah, and he's blind.

    Two things no one is talking about!

    Why is no one talking about the size of Mike's biceps when he was waking up on the couch? And why is no one mocking the 15 MPH car race? Why!?!?! I demand more from my free entertainment!

    noted...

    the slow race pace, but forgot about it with the memory of the pecs...

    he wasn't beefy when he was on ATWT before.

    Truth Time

    Sorry, Ed but watching OLTL (loving me some MITCH!!!!!! - he's such a sweetie) and reading ATWT recap for info.

    When i've started to like

    the end of this Mason storyline, and was even interested in the spoilers (with Noah's recovery and the doctor), i've just read the most stupid spoiler ever about Nuke (and that's saying a lot with the crappy storylines this both had). I like the boys (specially Van) but if the spoiler is not better on screen than on paper i'll be done with this show.

    By the way, Noah wasn't able to lie for his boyfriend in the election debacle but he is able to lie for Mason. I think it's a bit o double standard, Mr Mayer

    OMG! *ATWT Spoiler*

    Of course, I'm not going to tell anyone what the spoiler is, and if anybody wants me to, I'll make a forum about it, so that it can be discussed not in the liveblog, but I love it! It sounds like they are going back to completely outrageous soap opera land! I mean, I think it would be kind of hard for Luke to have sex with his new "you know what"! Its just DISTURBING and SOAP-TASTIC!!! I love it!

    Really Bad....

    .... love that totally random Mason/Holden scene.

    That was an AWFUL FX sequence.   I love how Noah says.... 'there's something wrong here'  But proceeds to connect the wires anyway.

     

    Oh Noah, you'll always be pretty!

     

    Well.... maybe not.....

    well now...

    the "new" writers are soooo bad. it's no wonder Guiding Light was taken off the air. will some one remind me why did they bring them on board here?

    this is more than lame. i'm still wondering if this was done with the intention of making certain that ATWT taken off the air. i even wonder if Noah's blindness is part of a plan to end the storyline. 

    on the other hand, the preview of Simon for next week made my heart go pitter-pat. he was one character who had his shirt off more than any other, as i remember.

    probably won't happen because of the new people heading this soap. they are more than prudish and have no interest in rocking the proverbial boat.

    thank the gods for Roxie on OLTL!

    Blindness

    You know for once it actually makes sense for a character to go blind, being a director and all. Though this logic probably wasn't thought up by the writers.

    Oh, Snicks...

    Please tell me that was an intentional Eyes of Laura Mars reference. 

    If so how long til Meg slashes Lily's throat and says, "I sat there and watched the blood dry on her face until it was just about the color of your hair," to Damien.

    I'm so worried about Noah

    I know that this is a soap opera and everything but why did they have to blind poor Noah? Haven't he and Luke suffered enough? I know the storyline will offer Jake a chance to prove how good an actor he is, and I've heard that Van is very happy with the story, but I can't bear to see Noah hurt. I'm with you Noah..hang in there. You and Luke are just going to be fine. You have to be, the whole world is watching. Well, except for the handful of people who are waiting to see if kyle and Oliver have sex again.

    BobbyBaby's picture

    You have got to be kidding!

    "You have to be, THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING. Well, except for the handful of people who are waiting to see if kyle and Oliver have sex again."

    I have to believe that your postings are tongue-in-cheek, or else you are living in your own imaginary world (that fantasy plane of existence being, of course, VH.Net).

    Markie27's picture

    why stop at blinding noah?

    they should kill him off already.. that would make fantastic soap moments for van to shine!   the whole world is watching - KILL OFF NOAH!  give luke a better boyfriend!  OR BETTER YET - GIVE LUKE BETTER STORYLINES!  removing noah from the equation would be really better for luke and As The World Turns!

    LMAO

    ATWT has got to be one of the better comedies on TV.... and Snicks, you too are frigging hilarious. Some of my favourites:

    "It better be more than that forehead kiss."

    "This elicits a "Luke" look from Luke."

    "Um ... so where in Oakdale would that be? ... besides Luke and Noah's bedroom. ZING!"

    "Carly tells Jack "that bitch car can't love you the way I do!". Or maybe she tries to talk him out of racing."

    "After some half-hearted complaining, Luke more or less says "all's well that ends well. Thanks!""

    "until Mason points out that someone turned the video of the EXPLICIT FOREHEAD KISS into the Dean"

    "Brad, Take The Wheel!"

    Crazy I know, but not affronted by the show...

    I'm trying to say this without seeming like a tool.  But you know...there are a few of us who really aren't morons who enjoy the show for the parts we can still enjoy.  I like the good natured ribbing, but the vitriol gets really old sometimes.  I got it...the portrayal is just not your cup of tea, not realistic enough, and might just be rotting the brains of gay youth everywhere.  There are problems with the show, no doubt, still like the Nuke.
