Today on As the World Turns, Luke catches Ameera on the phone with the good folks over at the Oakdale Penitentiary/Hard-Labor Camp. She's trying to get in touch with Noah's cranky and homicidal curmudgeon of a father, Captain Pervy.

When Luke confrotns her, Ameera tells him to butt out, and later when Luke then tries to broach the subject with Noah things don't go much better.

Will a pep talk from Luke's grandma, Lady Drumstick, set things to right between the boys?

Watch today's video clips (there are two) after the break to find out.

Today on As the World Turns, Noah pays a prison visit to his dad, Captain Pervy, leaving Luke to bond with Ameera over coffee.

Luke and Noah will be on As the World Turns today (and I will be here to hold your hands through the tough spots, as usual), but we've actually got a double-dose of Nuke thanks to the new episode of the online reality competition InTurn. In case you haven't been keeping tabs (not that I'd blame you, really), the online series gives a stable of soap wannabes a crack at scoring a 13-week contract at As the World Turns, provided they can shine in a series of daytime challenges that range from giving birth on a parkbench to walking down the aisle.

This week's challenge was the "first kiss" screen test, and the show decided to pair up two of the guys and two of the girls in order to make things more interesting (they left Justin with a lady, which I'm sure has nothing to do with the fact that he is the only male left who doesn't mention a wife or girlfriend in his bio. Just sayin'!). While the boy/girl couple did alright and the ladies really pulled it out (blonde Nell, in particular), the boys cracked and blew the kiss and the scene.

While this was embarrassing enough, what made it even more uncomfortable was the fact that the judges for this challenge were Oakland's Alpha Gay Couple, Luke (Van Hansis) and Noah (Jake Silbermann). Van and Jake don't hesitate to drop the hammer on the guys for wimping out of a very simple challenge, and good for them. But am I the only one who is a bit put off by the talk of the Nuke kiss being "the most talked about" in the show's history? Not to mention straight guy Peyton's mention that even a guy totally "secure in his masculinity" would have trouble with the scene ... uh, do you mean "secure in his sexuality"?

Anyway, you can watch it yourself after the jump and see what you think.

Today on As the World Turns, Luke moves in with Noah & Ameera so he can keep an eye on his man. Ameera plays it really cool and even offers Luke her spot beside Noah in the bedroom. She's "the guest here." She's happy to sleep on the couch. (Yeah right.)

But it's not long before Luke comes to regret this new living arrangement. Before he even has a chance to unpack, he storms off in a huff back to Pity Me Farms and Papa Holden's "I told you so."

How did Ameera manage to dislodge Luke so quickly? Watch today's video clip after the break to find out. Also, be sure and check out today's liveblog from our own Brian Juergens!

Today's episode starts with Noah rebuffing a vamped out Ameera. That's right, she's traded the head scarf and frumpy smock for a very revealing low cut dress. She looks good, but those perky dirty pillows are wasted on Noah, who tells her he doesn't "go for that." Not unless he's good and liquored up first.

In a panic, he calls Luke for backup. Luke decides the only thing to do is move in so he can keep an eyeon his man. Will Ameera hide her sexy self under a potato sack again and go along with this new living arrangement?

Fasten your seatbelts, folks! After 211 days of longing glances, camera pans to mistletoe, and various highly contrived and annoying obstacles — today on As the World Turns Luke and Noah finally kissed. Not once, but three times. And it was really very sweet!

Meanwhile, in case you're remotely interested, Ameera got herself a tarty makeover.

Friday on As the World Turns, the faux foursome (Luke, Casey, Noah & Ameera) filmed a pivotal scene in their sham documentary: Noah carrying blushing bride Ameera over the threshold.

Noah might just be acting, but Casey the cameraman picks up on the fact that the leading lady is actually in love with her co-star.

Now that he knows that Ameera only has eyes for Noah, Casey is ready to wash his hands of the movie, Ameera, and his fake gay relationship with Luke.

Not like that's really too hard, these days. But fans of Luke and Noah (and their real-life counterparts, Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann) and the mechanisms of daytime television might want to keep an eye on the web show InTurn, which awards one lucky aspiring soap star with a 13-week contract on As the World Turns. (Get it? In Turn?)

While it doesn't look like any of the four male contestants is openly gay (three of the guys mention girfriends or wives in their bios), the preview video suggests that they'll be asked to do a guy/guy love scene in one of the challenges, as screencapped above. (From what I can tell, that's Peyton on the left and Michael on the right.)

And Van and Jake are on-hand in some capacity (mentors? judges?), which is never a bad thing. Maybe they'll be there to share their tips on how to inject sexual innuendo into discussion of deli meats or use jumping on the bed like a sugarbombed third-grader as a metaphor for actual physical intimacy? We'll have to wait and see.

InTurn 3 (yes, this is the third season) premieres tomorrow, with new eps posted every Tuesday and Thursday.

Check out the video preview after the jump!

Today on As the World Turns, Luke feels like he's being muscled out of his own boyfriend's life so Momma Lilly, tired of him sulking around the farm, suggests he come up with an excuse for he and Noah to be together. So Luke decides to don a director's hat and make a movie with the whole gang. Will it be a heartfelt, award-worthy documentary? Will Ameera demand top billing?

Questions questions. Check out today's clip after the break for answers. And if you haven't already, take a gander at Brian Juergens's hilarious liveblog from earlier today.
