I watch whole eps of ATWT and I have to say that Parker/Liberty wasn't as eye-bleaching as I thought it would be but it wasn't pleasant. Not even remotely. I don't think that TPTB were going for a pleasasnt or "love story" effect but still, I could have done without seeing a young man who doesn't even shave nor have underarm hair going at it with his his cousin/girlfriend. Plus I am bitter that they got to have sex while Noah & Luke decide not to "rush" things. Call me a whore if such is the case, but since when is more or less being in a relationship for almost a year without sex or even almost sex even close to "rushing"? It's such a copout. I don't think Noah & Luke have had a conversation about top vs bottom nor even a heavy making out session with clothing being lost except that one time. And yet anything more than kissing is deemed "rushing"? Please. When Luke first said back in early January (I still have the episode on my DVR) that he didn't want to rush sex between them cause Noah was all over Luke's jock and that he still wasn't 100% after being shot by Noah's dad & paralyzed for a few months, that made sense. Saying that now? That doesn't make sense except as another way to prolong the boys not taking the final step. And honestly, I don't need to see it happen... it can just be acknowledged that it happened... but all of these stupid plot devices (hey Ameera!) and ridiculous obstacles are tiresome and obvious. And worst, insulting. TPTB made a committment to follow through with Noah and Luke's love story & relationship, and in some ways they have. They've also managed to neuter them in the process and I find that offensive. When a 15 year old & a 16 year old who aren't in love and have only known each other a few months have sex and we see that but two young men who've been more or less in a monogamous relationship for almost a year and are old enough to vote can't get past kissing and the occasional shirtless moment together, that's just fucking pathetic. And also, has either of these boys even tried renting a hotel for the night or even going at it in Noah's truck if needs must? It's not that complicated. Now I am going to wait for next week's spoilers to be posted to assess the damage...

I really enjoyed the July 31st epsiodes. I thought it was nice to see Noh & Luke talk and Noah not freaking out & Luke not being a victim. And TPTB are being more free with the kisses. That's a positive sign that whatever got their knickers in a twist has stopped or they don't care anymore. Whatever is the case, it's progress!! In shallow news, while Jeff the barista was very nice to look at & I wouldn't mind seeing more of him in the future, Jake was looking smoking hot yesterday.

WOw, Nuke looked both very handsome on yesterday's epi. Luke in his darkblue 'fancy' shirt and Noah earlier in his green shirt. Nice. And this last kiss was a nice one. Love that they finally look like a real couple. (

August 18th clip from blog: gaydaytime.blogspot.com/2008/08/as-world-turns-18-08-2008.htmlI enjoyed the snippets of them in Monday's episode. (in other news, Lily is pathetic. I mean showing up at the farm with a picnic for Mike and demanding things move forward. Does she know how to date? Seriously). It's moments like in Monday's episode that make me go back to "awwwwing" over them like I did a year ago. I think that they're getting back on track but TPTB have a lot to make up for with the mishandling of the pairing. Also, seriously... double dating with Lucinda? I mean, I love my grandmother but no way. Seriously?

Bonobochick: I really wonder if someone should send your new signature to Luke and Noah to show them how it is done. ;-)

Ok, I don't get it: When I watched Monday's episode I thought Brian already knew Nuke was an item. You really had to be blind to not see that anyway... And today he's looking all surprised and taken aback when he sees Noah touching Luke in a boyfriendly way. (or something like that) I'm confused. (NewLily is still fake. ) I expected Noah to say 'DUDE' after everytime he said 'totally'. And he even said 'cool'. ;D (Where did that come from?) I really liked today's scenes. Especially Luke reaction to Brian and the Nuke talk. And those kisses we get to see on a regular basis now make me very happy! Finally!

Loving the new "Couply" Nuke - more please!!!! Noah's schoolboy haircut is a bit - but I suppose it kinda goes with his repressed attitude - didn't you just KNOW he was gonna agree with creepy Brian about staying in the closet - have they actually come out of it??Creepy Brian is a slime - baaaaad things are gonna come from him - for everybody. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he turns out to be Noah's Dad! I kinda applaud the issue of tackling a gay & children storyline cos there are still waaaaay too many people who think being gay is a "choice" and we will corrupt the minds of children if we are given contact with them or worse but it is a bit of a pisser that it is also gonna be used as a means to castrate Nuke again And yes - I'm not a "new" Lily fan either - she just ain't right!

I liked the episode overall (though the whole Parker/Liberty/wacky parents is for me). I thought Brian was totally & obviously sleazy, not charming, and I liked seeing Luke not playing the victim and wanting to kick Brian to the curb after his tasteless statements. Noah... *sigh* I like Noah & I see glimpses of the more interesting kinda goofy Noah that first showed up in Oakdale last summer, but seriously, I wonder sometimes how he makes it through a day the way his mind "works". And I also noticed that Noah sounded like he just walked off The OC or some MTV show with his dialogue from the episode. It was kinda weird since it seemed to come out of nowhere...

I know it's probably not a popular opinion but even with DeRo sex and supportive Ollian, Nuke was my favorite couple this week. It really showed that the actors can do so much better work if you just let them run and interact naturally. It feels like they have finally found the right pace for their relationship (not pace in regards to the road towards sex, but just the way they play their scenes)

I liked Nuke the best this week too. Bonobochick I agree about Noah, while I love Noah, I sometimes wonder how he gets through the day too, LOL.

Brian is a CREEP. He is either a closet case or as Sheepiefarm said Noah's father. But somehow he has to be linked to James Stenbeck. Nulily/Fakelily is ANNOYING!! Throwing a fit over a picnic and "forcing" Mike into a relationship ...It was just sex...give me a break! Anyway I have to say it was a good week for Nuke. The A.F.A. heads must be spinning with all the kissing they have been doing lately ;D. They were so good together and it did remind me of when they first got together. BTW: I am new to this board and I have been watching ATWT on and off for awhile.

Some of you may be aware now of Les Scandales de Düsseldorf (© GayTime ), the French subtitled version of Olli & Christian. There's even better for French speaking or French loving viewers: Jag1366 of Dailymotion and YouTube has started subtitling ATWT in French (I'll leave it to GayTime to find an appropriate French title ) almost a year ago and he uploads new clips at most a couple of days after the episodes air. Jag1366's YouTube profileJag1366's Dailymotion profileNuke's first kiss on Dailymotion Tried to use the Dm button but it didn't work. Isn't that the one for embedding Dailymotion clips?www.dailymotion.com/video/x3n8i5_luke-noah-1622-vostf-1er-baiser_shortfilms[dm]x3n8i5[/dm] One of Nuke's latest kisses on YouTube fr.youtube.com/watch?v=U8nOcs-o4-Q*did the Dailymotion embed for you since you were having trouble with it. -Bchick

According to AE, Jake S/"Noah" appeared alone today in one of the show's new bumpers. Bumpers - do you mean the end credits? I really like these guys when they actually get to be a couple. Having fast-tracked my way through their story - it's really quite astounding at how different they are on screen now compared to a few months ago. There's something quite compelling about them as a couple. Am kinda liking Luke's indignation about the homophobia stuff and laughed at his "super gay" jibe to Brian. Also Noah's face when Luke said they would go camping without actually asking him was priceless ;D This Brian is definitely dodgy - the question is gonna be - will it impact on Nuke or Lucinda?

I apologise in advance for the rant that is likely to follow!!!
ARGH!!! Who does that Brian think he is?? He waltzes around like he owns the place and, even if I could buy the fact that he offended Luke in error his behavous since has been very irritating not to mention rude. Why was he up at the Snyder farm anyway? And his excuse of beng called by one of his referees - well, shouldn't he be expecting that? Luke may not be an established savvy businessmen but he's not stupid, why wouldn't he check the references of someone he hired, particularly if that person had upset him (even if it was unintentional!) And why did Brian have to show up at that time of night? At his boss's house?? Not to mention obviously persuing Lady Drumstick (eek! Sorry, the AE blog names stick in my head so well) in a manner that at least wants me to point out to him that it's not exactly professional! I suppose the corporate world doesn't look so unkindly on people that wheadle their way into work by outrageously flattering and hitting on the boss/the bosses relations!!
I don't know what's up with Brian but I do not like him.
I can't help but think that Luke should have used his money to set up some sort of foundation or charity group to support and advise gay teenagers. That's something that both he and Noah could work on and wouldn't be used as a tool to inhibit their relationship. Of course, then we might actually have to progress to them doing more than kissing but I don't think any of us would have a problem with that.
On a happier note (I'm not entirely a ranty person) the scenes between just Luke and Noah were sweet and touching.

LOL - rant away - I hadn't even registered that there was actually no reason given for him turning up at the Snyder farm. That's all just a bit too much "cliche" and "perfect world" for me

On a happier note (I'm not entirely a ranty person) the scenes between just Luke and Noah were sweet and touching. You are not the only one who thinks that Brian is a CREEP. It will be really interesting to find out more about his history. He did mention in a episode that he just went through a divorce. Imagine if his ex-wife (or ex-husband...I think he is a closet case) came to town and gave us some insight as to who he is. Luke is very smart to be concerned about him. I dont know about you but I know I go to my bosses house and have a bad attitude once I find out they have done a back ground check on me (sarcasim ofcourse). He is a bit insufferable and arrogant! I have to say though that Nuke had a great episode today. They had really good chemistry and I liked the symbolism of Luke fixing Noah's tie. And then Noah said that back then he couldnt imagine his life with him and now he cannot imagine his life without him. How romantic is that. *sigh* God only knows when their next air date is...
