Here are the previews for the week of June 16th, which features Luke asking Noah a question we'd all like the answer to (no, not that one!)

Luke says...

"luke: Everytime I try to stand with you I have to fight to get there, so when are you gonna fight for me, Noah?"

Wow

Strong words, I just wish Luke wasn't whining as he said them.

Coming from whimpy Luke, they're not that strong...

Watching this sorry preview and the so-called strong words coming out of Luke's mouth makes it sound so pathetic. It's as if dimwit Noah has stolen one of Luke's favorite toys. If he doesn't give it back, Luke is gonna stomp his whiney ass back to equally whiney mama Lily to get it back! PULEEEEZE! Sob, sob, sob...

Poor Luke needs a hug, a life, new writers, and breathing room

Luke has gone from being such a fighter for himself and his rights to acting like a person whose gone thorugh some trauma that the audience has not been privy to. Maybe Gnat and Faithless have been drugging him since he came out or the writers can whip up one of their famous 3 day stories to show that he stopped taking his Cylbalta after he came out thus explaining why he went from being such a cool multifaceted guy to acting as if he lost his backbone and interest for all that does not revolve around a charmless tool.

Some harcore Nuke fans in another forum are up in arms about anyone taking on their beloved Noah as true love should mean that you stand by your man/friends during the good and the bad. It's kind of sucked being Luke in the Nuke equation since day one as dragging his "friend" Noah out of the closet reeked of self-interest to me, so in true Jean Passanante psychology characters have to pay for their sins by acting like polar opposites until the audience hates one or both of the portrayers. Noah's shining friendship lasted a few seconds after his dad almost killed "Liuuuuuke." Once the kid started walking, all bets were off. No living in the doors as Luke wanted as Noah wanted a "family." Yes, master! Noah gets Lucinda's pad to shack up with his bride. Yes master!

Even if Noah is head over heels with Luke, who cares if it does not manifest in any way that means anything to even this beaten-down Luke? Some Noah fans blame the writing and it's impossible not to, but the kid has been on the show long enough to create a buzz about his character beyond the writen word.

This genre lives and dies by an actor's acting or a certain star quality that makes you root for them no matter how lame their story is. I am more excited seeing Parker's annoying pre-drugged out Lindsay Lohan look-a-like cousin/love interest than in seeing anything Noah has to offer in terms of letting us into his pain or anything besides possibly needing more fiber in his diet.

Out with the old and in with new love for Luke, but not before he goes to "sleep over camp" (If Lily uses that term again I may gut her) and gets to have half the fun that his dad and pretend wife are having in Band Camp. If Luke is not ready for love again, then give him a kitten, his own pad after they fumigate Ameera and Noah's mess out of his grandmother's cottage, some Invisible Girl segment on WOAK as his mom is part owner of that station that hires anyone who walks into the "closet set."

Writers, please don't have Luke ask dumb questions of his boyfriend on convenience when you've already written enough about Noah to know that the answer is irrelevant. I am sorry if this sounds like getting rid of Noah is the only wa to make this work as we all like different types and Noah's character has not been written into a wall that they can't bring him back from. My very personal view is that I could only get excited about seeing my boy Luke again alone or with another character who introduces Luke to more fun than he's ever known and then they can let the drama seep in, even via a morose Noah promising to have changed over the summer. Maybe he did and maybe Luke will give him the time of day. Back to school fun....

Thank you Guillermo & Liz. You saved me posting the same thing!

Thank you Guillermo and Liz. Both of you have said EXACTLY what I was thinking about this Luke and Noah disasterous storyline. Luke has indeed turned into the most pathetic wimpy queen in gay history and Noah has about as much intelligence as the average chimpanzee. I didn't think anyone could be as irritable as Sean Hayes from Will and Grace, but obviously I was wrong.  Together they are the most embarassing gay couple in TV history brought about by the most incredibly out of touch writers ever. To top this off, GLAAD more or less thinks this is some milestone in daytime TV history? The whole thing smacks of gay bashing to me. I have stated several times that this asinine couple do nothing more than give the straight viewing audience the idea that gays are a bunch of whiney ass, ignorant, less than intelligent people that can't have a loving, decent relationship. Puke has done nothing but harm the Gay Pride movement and have set it back to the stone age! The sooner ATWT gets rid of dimwit Noah and sends Luke to Jokedale University to study the sexual acitivity of insects only to be seen perhaps once a week, will be a brighter day for all of us!

ok, seriously luke?

ok, so i finally was able to see the clip for myself.

can someone please smack luke upside the head? as i said elsewhere, noah is acting like a total baby (amongst other things) and so i am trying to figure out why luke, who use to be so strong of a character is suddenly turning into something that i don't find attractive....that would be CLINGYYYYYY!

no,no....lemme rephrase....he's being all puppy eyed for a guy who treats him like CRAP! worse than crap probably....i am sure there are germs that are inside of crap...so uh...whatever said germs are called....that's noah for you.

Why does he insist on trying to get noah to be the boy....er....umm....well, ok, forget that. anyways, why luke is practically crying over him is just baffling to me.

I almost wish i could tell luke "look, i know you're gay and all...but please let me show you how a person should be treated in a relationship!"
