It wouldn't surprise me.

look,  Some argue "well, at least we have SOMETHING" and I just wanna say "no, you have nothing. Luke is gay...has a boyfriend....but that's IT"

I'm not a gay man, but I think lots of people on AE were excited for Nuke because they thought they were going to watch another version of themselves...something to relate to. Hell, I like any positive version of the lgbt community on tv. I'm a part of it.

If the P & G or whatever has *SUCH* a problem with two guys kissing, then WHY in the hell did they even "allow" luke to be gay in the first place? why did they even give the greenlight to let noah be a love interest for luke?

I think something needs to change. Noah needs to die or leave town, because a showing of a kiss is obviously so offensive that it won't be shown. Luke...well, they might as well have him leave town or something as well.

Another thing....I think it's insulting that the actors have no say whatsoever in their storylines. I bet if van or jake could get even 2 words in, I bet this wouldn't be so horrendous.

 

I think, I hope and pray, that they are dumping the current Nuke storyline--like yesterday.  The current marriage fiasco, that is.  But I don't think there are any plans to dump Nuke.   Van has re-signed and even TPTB have admiited that they are a popular couple and have helped with ratings.  I can only hope for a better story for them next time around.  Like a hot summer adventure!

There have been rumors that the Luke/Noah storyline was ending since well, it began last year and there was a time that even I believed it was on it's way out. Yet, the network has always contended and continues to contend as recently as last week, that the story is popular, is continuing and they have no plans to dump it or get rid of either actor/character. However, it's clear that the current storyline simply is not working. With the regular head writers back at the helm of the show and fully now in control of the show's storylines (their credits started appearing in Friday's show, I believe), there may be some significant changes in the story soon. Things must be coming to a head soon with Col. Mayer back in the story in a couple of weeks. If anyone would be out, it would be Tala Ashe (Ameera) and the boys would be freed up for a new storyline just in time for summer.

I lean 100% towards Liz's post and also somewhat agree with Goldie and Anthony. The network can put out whatever they want in support of Puke, but look what they have lied about and done to them thus far. Granted some changes may be on the way since Daddy Dearest is back for a spell and that could put an end to this stupid Ameera story. Also with summer coming on and the younger viewers tuning in, it could save Puke, at least until fall. I have no idea what they may come up with, but it better be good because despite the propaganda that CBS puts out, Puke is on a one way ticket to the boneyard.

This is another big dumb rumor. I'd be very interested in hearing where it came from. A lot of rabid fans have brought up this exact same rumor on several occasions in order to threaten people. "Quit complaining or they will cancel the show!!! and it will be all your fault!!!"

"CBS may be planning on dumping the current Nuke storyline." CBS has no control what so ever over this or any story-line. They do not own the show, they buy the right to air the show.

P&G own, create and are responsible for the content of the show. The only thing CBS can do is cancel the entire show. Seeing that they just signed for another year AND the show is in third place, it ain't going to happen.

P&G have shown no remorse nor made any attempt to direct the show in anyway then sticking with what they have been doing since last fall. I wouldn't be surprised if their current polls indicate that there is significant displeasure in the current story, and not just this one, and fans may be fixing to leave in large enough numbers that will be hard to replace. ATWT could loose out during Sweeps Week. If this rumor is coming from P&G, they are obviously trying to rally the troops for Sweeps Week.

"The word is they are looking for an "easy" way to scuttle this fiasco they have created." Please quote where you heard that word. They seem to have already cut the Ameera story short, but I don't think anyone, P&G included, expected Ameera to last for 12 months. They would be smart to look for a way to end her story sooner than later. I agree that the second kiss will upset fans. ABC will probably take some heat for that, as well as P&G.

The producers have screwed up this story, no doubt about it. Many of the fans have been complacent. But since Nuke brought them the highest ratings ever, P&G would be dumb to dump Noah. However, that would be an honorable thing to do; they have proven they are cowards unable to tell an honest gay love story.

 

. 

They aren't going anywhere.  Too many of the gays are still watching and they can't afford to lose those viewers.  Plus, Nuke is one of the more popular couples on the soap, regardless of the complaints that they're getting from a few moronic rednecks and P and G. 

Instead, they'll continue to neuter them.  No kissy-kissy, No hissy-hissy. 

Perhaps they'll just kill off Noah, send Luke to a monastary and explore his transformation into the eunuch he already is.

I don't see any reason for them to remove the character of Luke. He's such a newsmaker, that it would be stupid to write him out. They might remove Noah, though. As much as I admire Jake Silbermann's talent and the respect he has for his role, I would not be bothered if Luke and Noah broke up. I actually wouldn't mind if Luke had a different boyfriend for a while. This time I would like a guy chasing Luke, instead of the other way around.

"You bit the hand, Marty, You bit the hand!"

I say Luke should get it opn with him for real.

 

 

The Ameera story is on the way out fairly soon.  It was never intended to be long lasting, she was just there as the "plot device", as Brian always refers to her in his blogs.  So the question is, what next???  I'd love to see Nuke finally being happy together for a short time (happiness never lasts on a soap longer than a "short time"), and then they have a fight or something about the time that another hot guy at Oakdale U. goes after one of them.  It was great last year when Luke and Noah met up with another pair of guys before a party.  The one guy was totally hot for Noah.  I wish they would have extended those glimpses into the gay culture of the area a bit  more.  But another guy trying to come between Nuke wouldn't lack for dramatic tension.

What scares me is that with summer coming they'll do more outside filming.  I've noticed that there appear to be a different group of writers and directors that handle the outdoor stuff.  And they are HORRIBLE.  That serial killer at summer camp thing (the year Luke was first coming out) was the most ineptly written and directed thing I may have ever seen on TV.  It would be more than frustrating to get a nice triangle story and then ruin it with abysmal writing.
