ATWT - Soap Opera Weekly Gives Insight On The Recent Luke/Noah Smooch

SOW has a report in this week's edition about the kiss that took place between Luke and Noah a couple of weeks ago.  The article reports that according to a source close to the show, many of the actors who were in that same episode, including Van Hansis (Luke) and Jake Silbermann (Noah), had no idea the kiss was going to happen.  But Christopher Goutman, the executive producer for the show, reshot the scene, going in after the episode was finished and directing the kiss.  The source adds that another kiss has been shot, again by Goutman, who came out of the booth and directed it to the surprise of everyone on set that day.  The article goes to ask why the writers for the show have been told not to script any kisses between the couple, but the executive producer can (and apparently is) inserting them -- in secret.  An ATWT rep responds that CG retains creative control for the show and is ultimately responsible for what is seen on screen each day, adding that he is a very 'hands on' executive producer and scenes are often rewritten and/or redirected at his discretion.

So, if they get rid of

So, if they get rid of Goutman the show might improve? Cuz he doesn't seem to be doing ATWT or its viewers any favors and the 3rd kiss was just put in so  there wouldn't be any controversy at the Fan luncheon that weekend.

LOL! Since the writers

LOL! Since the writers won't script any kisses he's adding them himself? If the rest of the story (which he retains control over) weren't so damned bad I'd be tempted to write him a thank you note.
