ATWT - Luke/Noah SPOILERS For Wednesday, Oct. 8th - UPDATEDSPOILER SPACE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What's this? First Gay Pride Day, now Oakdale University is having a gay film festival that Noah has become involved with. With Project GreenUp doing so well and raking in the foundation dollars to clean up Snyder Farm, Luke wants to do his share. He decides to promote PGU at the film festival. When Brian Wheatley hears about the plan, he is decidedly against the idea and doesn't want Luke to do it. Luke and Brian argue, bringing an end to the peaceful accord between them. But Luke is determined to do things his way and plans to go through with his idea anyway no matter what Brian thinks. However, does Luke have Noah's support in this decision? It doesn't look like it because Luke and Noah find themselves in the middle of their own conflict..... Submitted by Anthony D. Langford (4235 points) (831 posts) on Sat, 2008-10-04 17:06. |

The problematic idea
The idea is the next one: Luke, tired of being virgin and seeing no haste in Noah to change things for the better, decides to put the lost of his virginity on auction, in that way he benefices his foundation and himself in the same move. Brian disagrees cause he thinks no one will believe he is still virgin therefore there wouldn’t be big bidders, and Noah is angry cause if Luke tries sex then later he will ask for his big share of the pie, in a daily basis, several times in a row, to compensate lost time. So Noah will have to move with Maddie to make sex again. The only one type he had. Sex with Maddie. Straight sex. Not gay. Straight.
Gay Film Festival? Must have been why neither Luke or Noah

Yeah, I Agree In A Way.....
Emily cares
Emily cares about the farm because 20 years ago she was married to Holden. She didn't seem to care much about the farm, Holden or the Snyders then, and she has hardly had any interaction with them in the intervening decades, but you know when you have to make your plot points, you grasp at straws.
YouTube has some of the important episodes from 1986 to 1989 and they are SO much better than what is currently on. I think I'm only going to watch old ATWT from now on.
The Intruder also gives her a reason to be there
I suppose Emily could've been covering the fundraiser for her tabloid, though that's a stretch, too.
Of course, ATWT's paltry use of The Intruder is another example of what's wrong with the show. Given that Luke wants to become a writer, why TPTB haven't had Emily offer him a job is a mystery to me. It would allow him to become more involved with the other stories on the show, as well as provide some conflict with his family.

You Have A Point, But....
Em didn't show up to cover the 'Ethan In A Hole' drama (in fact, Brad and Katie, who are family and work at WOAK, barely put in an apperance), so her covering the fundraiser for the paper is a stretch, I agree, especially Em owns the paper and is not a beat reporter.
You make a good point about Em offering Luke a job at the Intruder, however, Luke's grandmother, Lucinda owns (or part owns) The City Times, so it would make more sense for Luke to go work for her.
You are totally on the money on gatherings
The absence of Henry and Vienna was pathetic as they were the ones who apparently were in charge of everything (at least Henry) and there was no reason for Carly to be there except to do what you know better than most as was the case with Dusty. For a guy who wants to keep a low profile, he might as well have chosen to hit Sarah Palin over the head and taken her place on the debate last Thursday.
Do you know if contract players these days ALSO get paid by number of appearances as is the case with non-contract players? I ask only because it seems that it should be a no-brainer to fill out more of these events with characters who should be there. Assuming that they get paid no matter what, the only additional expenses for the show would be to slap some make-up, hair, and some rags on missing contract players. I can't assume that Luke's attire is going to break the bank.
But at the end of the day it is all about "plot" (using that term loosely) over any characterization. I wish that these show-runners would watch some plot-driven shows with serialized elements so that they could at least succeed on the basis. While I think that it's a hug mistake to go that route, they could at least break down their junk to at least match the worst McGyver episode ever.

I believe
An Oxdale Gay Film Festival?
Ehhh.....
Maybe he'll steal all the "films" to answer to his .....
This is a show that had poor Luke having some of his best scenes ever being frustrated about there not being any gay people in Oakdale. I guess that the news of Nuke spread like wildfire and all the gays applied to Oakdale University.

PG Version of Dante's Cove
Ha! When I saw...
....the title for your post, all I could think was that a PG version of Dante's Cove couldn't even get through the opening credits!! About all it would be is a 57 second sequence of establishing shots of palm trees, beaches and buildings from a distance! Heh, heh.
I doubt any of the writer's of ATWT have ever watched Dante's Cove. They might spontaneously burst into flames.
I say we take the warning labels off everything and let nature take it's course.
I Think You Mean Kevin.....
I think you mean Kevin. Brian (Wheatley) is the guy Luke hired to run his foundation. Kevin (Davis) is the straight guy Luke had a thing for. But, I don't think that Kevin is coming on as a romantic interest for Luke. If I were to guess, since Luke is going to be running for student goverment at Oakdale U, he'll probably be running against Kevin.
Of course, there's always the possibility that Kevin is doing this to hide his secret passion for Luke!
Hmmm.... I've heard of Dante's Cove, but I've never seen it. I'll have to check it out.
Yes... Kevin Davis... Thank you!
Oops... sorry for the mistake and thank you for catching it I guess Kevin is still slated to re-appear on the show next week? Anyway... the concept of Kevin as a "converted" love interest is a lame one for many reasons and I would be permanently put off as a fan but ATWT hasn't performed well with regard to Luke and Noah so far this year.
Dante's Cove is an on-going mini series that appears on "Here! TV," which is an all gay network. Of course, Here! TV is not available through Cox Cable in the Oklahoma City market so I've recently purchased the DVDs for all three past seasons from Amazon.Com. Dante's Cove is currently filming season 4. They all have been great and well worth the price!
Monday, Oct. 13th
Monday, October 13th, is the day Kevin will return. Reg (of the hot tub Reg) will also return that day as well.
I do get Here TV, but I admit, except for the Chad Allen movies, I rarely ever watch it. Thanks for the tip.
