Liveblogging "As The World Turns": Oh, Brother!

Luke keeps a bedside vigil as Noah is rushed to the hospital for being a dumbass after a fireworks accident. But what will happen if he needs family consent for surgery?

Join us for the fun, and refresh for updates!

2:05PM EST: We start with a recap of the Michael Bay-esque fireworks action scene. Noah falls to the ground with severe facial strawberry Toaster Strudel.

2:10PM EST: Liberty tries to buy a drink with a fake I.D. and is caught by the hot lumberjack-esque bartender, but is saved by man of a thousand hairstyles Dusty.

Noah is taken to the hospital where Luke and Holden await news. The nurse comes out and asks for Noah's insurance info. Luke turns to Holden and admits he has no idea if Noah even has insurance.

2:15PM EST: Oh sweet jeebus! A drunk Mason enters the hospital and starts berating Luke for the accident. He says "Are you sure you're the one to protect Noah from the big bad wolf? AARRRGH!" (and he actually makes big bad wolf moves). He then goes on "I'll be sure to ask Noah ... when he wakes up! Judging by the doctors going in and out of his room, I don't even know if that's gonna happen!" Luke has finally had enough, and turns around and punches Mason in the face (which judging by the sound of it, is made from concrete). Damian rushes in and pulls Luke off him. HOT!

2:25PM EST: Mason comes around and says "Snyder, that's gonna cost you!" Okay, Mason has officially become the crazy ex-boyfriend (and he wasn't even the boyfriend). Luke initially blames Damian for what's happened, but then realizes that deep down, he wanted him to help fix the situation, and was glad that Damian got Mason fired.

The doctor comes out and tells Luke and Damian that Noah needs brain surgery, but Luke says "if they open his head, things will fall out" ... or something like that. Unfortunately, the hospital needs consent from a family member, and "partners" don't count. Ouch. Luke goes ballistic, but Damian says he'll take full responsibility. Unfortunately, the hospital needs more than that.

2:40PM EST: Holden tells Lily the whole sordid "Luke/Mason/Noah" story, and they have an argument over whether Damian is to blame.

Oh jeez ... it looks like we'll be getting a Janet/Dusty pairing. Hasn't this guy banged every single female character on this show?

Luke heads back to the rooftop and retrieves Noah's cell phone. He tries to call Noah's aunt, but doesn't get an answer.

2:50PM EST: Holden and Damian are arguing about who's to blame when Luke rushes in and says he couldn't get a hold of Noah's aunt (um ... did his dad die in prison?) Holden says not to worry, that's he's going to call Bob and everything's going to be okay.

Dusty eats like a pig. Oh, it turns out he's allergic to fennel, and will soon die.

Meg sneaks Luke in to see Noah, and he tells him "I never meant for this to happen". No crap. Luke has an emotional scene talking to his unconscious boyfriend, and Van Hansis is always great with these scenes.

He tells Noah "I love you" and kisses his hand, and leaves the room to discover that Mason (who's now turned comically cartoonish) is waiting for him, with a white bandage across his nose. He tells Luke "I'm going to sue you and your daddy!", but Luke dismisses him with vague threats, saying "you have no idea what I can do".

Before Mason leaves, he tells Luke "Noah is in there, and you're going to have to live with that for the rest of your life".

2:55PM EST: Lily and Damian are trying to come up with a solution when Damian has a bright, and disturbing idea. The hospital won't operate until they have the consent of a family member, so why don't they ... adopt Noah.

But that would make Luke and Noah brothers. Finally, my fan-fic has come true!

Preview Time: Noah is still crispy. We'll be here!
