Liveblogging "As The World Turns": Sanguis Bibimus!

While this episode is ostensibly about how Noah once again feels left out of Luke's life, I'm more excited about the recent return of the real Damian. Cue up Ave Satani! (my undying love to whoever gets that reference).

Join us for the fun (which may include Mason taking another step in his wooing of Noah), and refresh for updates!

2:05 PM EST: Noah finds out that Luke went to Kentucky, and was almost shot. Luke says "oh, well ... I was going to tell you ... let's not make a big deal out of this". The look on his face is hilarious. He knows that Noah is about to make a HUGE deal out of it.

Alison is talking to a brunette girl, who is only shown from behind. This usually means we're about to be surprised, and sure enough, when the camera shows her, it's The Real Maddie!

2:10 PM EST: Ooh, Luke is at his self-centered best here. He says "why are you so upset?", and basically dismisses all of Noah's concerns. Noah says "I always think of your feelings before I do anything", and Luke hilariously asks "where is all this coming from?" Seriously, Luke? He then rolls his eyes (as only he can) and says "Okay Noah, how does it make you feel?" Noah says "frankly, it sucks!"

Okay, maybe I don't remember my ATWT history, but what the hell did Maddie and Gwen do to Adam in the woods?

Maddie wants to talk to Adam (who's in the interrogation room), but Adam says "you shouldn't have come here!" Now I need to know what happened in those woods.

2:20 PM EST: A-ha! Gwen and Maddie buried Adam alive in the woods. Is that all?

Noah tells Luke that he feels left out of all the important things in his life, and he should have told him about everything that's going on, and Nuke basically says "suggestion noted". Noah says "you know what, when you do decide that's there's something you want me around for, let me know. I'll be at work!". Once again, Luke's facial expressions as Noah leaves is the most entertaining part of the scene.

2:35PM EST: Okay, is the show trying to hit the reset button with Adam? Maddie seems to be excusing all of the stuff he did. And was it Adam who tied someone to the railroad tracks, or was that Gwen's evil double with the buck teeth? I can't remember.

Damian is back to his manipulations. I love it!

Oh dear, Mason comes in to the cafe to see Noah (and he's back to wearing his scarf, which looks dingier every time I see it). Noah tells him about the huge fight he had with Luke, and Mason rubs his shoulder and says "what you need is a distraction". Noah says "I'm open to ideas", and Mason smiles creepily and says "I'll be right back".

2:45PM EST: Lily comes home to find Luke ...HEY WAIT A MINUTE! ... I just realized that Noah has allowed himself to become involved with two men with hideous affectations. Mason with his scarves ... and Luke with his striped shirts. Wow ... that's going to take some serious therapy for Noah to come to terms with that.

Luke tells Lily about the fight, and Lily says "you need to reclaim your life" and tells him to move back in with Noah.

2:50 PM EST: Luke meets Noah at the cafe, and they reconcile (you can tell from the twinkly background music). Mason comes in with some DVD's he was planning to watch with Noah that night, and seeing that the two are together, decides to hold onto them (lest Luke discover that it was going to be a Brent Corrigan film fest.) Mason walks out in disgust as Luke and Noah kiss.

Preview Time: No Nuke, but why is Stuart Quartermane from General Hospital there?
