That's all just a bit too much cliche and perfect worldfor me Hmmm that is true. It would be a bit too convienent. 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! Ah! That's where I am going wrong. 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... Those bits were what saved me from exploding with rage I think. Personally it was a very odd episode for me to watch: melting with the romantic sweetness of parts and then hopping with rage at Brian irritating the hell out of me. I guess I am just in a ranty mood at the moment!! Actually, with some of the things the Nuke storyline has thrown at us I am surprised this is my first rant. However, I do apologise for unleashing my venom on the world!

I very much enjoyed everyone on the show today except the Lily and Holden drama, which includes Emma's whining about them not being together and being perfect for each other. I am so over THAT. Love Casey/Emily though I hate how almost everyone blows off that they could have genuine feelings for each other. The Aaron/Ali/Chris/Dani stuff was interesting. I think Ali is unaware that Aaron has caught on to the fact that she has lingering feelings for Chris despite what she's saying. I am trying to figure out why Lucinda is so blind. Brian is not charming, he's very obvious and it seems like not one person checked his references before he was hired & put on contract though I could have sworn Lucinda had said he'd come highly recommended. By whom? Loved that Luke was and remains feisty about Brian being shady. He is and very, VERY obviously. I understand why Noah doesn't get it, cause while I like Noah he is still being written as mostly dim-witted nowadays, but Lucinda? Hmmmm. The comments between Noah & Luke about the tie was very sweet, especially Noah's comment at the end about now being unable to imagine his life without Luke. It's moments like in today's episode that keep me on this couple's bandwagon, even when times are rough. Luke's hair looked good but it made him totally not look 19 and closer to Van's 26. Still, I'd rather he keep the look cause it's totally attractive on him. Sheepie, bumper is like a midway through the show point where a collage of photos of characters is shown. Jake never had one of himself before though Van did. Now Jake does, even though it flashed quickly. It's nice to see TPTB putting some effort behind the actor and the pairing. Here's a bumper gaydaytime.blogspot.com/2008/08/as-world-turns-takes-another-small-step.html though it's not the one with just Jake.

I'm slowly trying to catch up on everything and after watching the latest Nuke episode I suddenly remembered why I still like that couple so much. Even when the rest sucks, they still save it for me. I really, really, really like the episode and to be honest: Luke has never looked better than in those scenes. PLEASE let him keep this hair for a while! It makes him look older and a lot smarter. The scene with the tie was so sweet my teeth almost started hurting, but I loved every second of it! ;D

I came across this commentary (you might need to refresh your browser to make sure it's that 9/1/08 opinion piece) in which the columnist posted letters from fans regarding Noah & Luke and TPTB's double standard about their relationship. See: www.soaptownusa.com/oakdale.htmlThoughts?

FYI: I'm not the same Amber as the one in the last letter. I'm not that much of a campaigner.Mmmm.... I'll probably get boohood for saying this but I don't really think there's that much of a double standard. It's more about a group of fans not getting as much as they want/expected. Maybe they get less airtime right now, but I'm sure it'll change again. As far as I know both actors will be around for a while and Nuke is very visible on the website for example and getting more attention in the media, so I'm sure they won't vanish into thin air. I still think TPTB are doing a better job than I ever expected them to do when it concerns Nuke. (Lets not talk about what I think of ATWT as a whole. ;D Or maybe that's the same thing I think about american soaps in general. But that's just a matter of different tastes and maybe cultures as well. ) Of course it would be more realistic if Nuke finally (!) had sex, but I don't mind the waiting, as long as it happens eventually! If waiting means getting more scenes like the one we saw last week, I'm more than willing to wait another while. Hopefully the waiting will be worth it in the end. I don't panic easily; can you tell? ;D

Amber80 BBBOOO ;D I am joking I respect your opinion... However I have to agree with the (some/most) fans. There has been a double standard with the Nuke story line. All of Oakdale is having sex but Nuke. I was so excited when Luke first came out over two years ago and thought this is going to be a great story. Then low and behold Luke disappeared for awhile. I just figured that is where the story started and ended with Luke being gay. Then TBTB decided to give Luke a romantic story and they started out so well. Until the bible thumpers and the A.F.A. got involved. That is when the Ameera mess started and they were "kissing" off screen. We are subjected to seeing minors (Parker and Liberty) kissing all the time, then eventually having sex and having more air time than Nuke. I completely understand that they do not have a front burner storyline now but this has been going on for awhile now. When they do have air time they are on once every other week for 10 minutes or less. TBTB said that they were going to treat them like any other of the characters in a romantic relationship and I guess that is why (some/most) fans are getting frustrated. Because we all know there is no way two teenage boys would not wait this long! I am even okay with them having sex off screen. If you compare their relationship to the other characters invovled in a romance it is not the same. That to me is a double standard. Also Noah's life revolves around Luke and the Synder's...I wish that they would show him interacting with other characters such as Casey. I know that Jake does not have a contract so that could pose as a problem. That being said I am still glad that ATWT at least attempted to do this storyline. It must be difficult for the writers because their hands are probably tied as to what they really would like to write for Nuke. Van and Jake are doing a great job and that is why they have so many fans!

Luke and Noah have suffered with poor, irritating and downright outrageous storylines and they have been rather absent this summer. However, I have been remarkably patient at sticking with their storyline in the hope of some sort of resolution. I'm not even demanding that they have a sex scene yet. What I'd like to see is more explortation of their relationship together without having to involve either a family crisis or some sort of outside influence: At the moment (or so it feels) their only screentime is at a family event or along comes Ameera or Brian or even Colonel Psycho to block their relationship (Brian had me absolutely infuriated the other week and I don't usually lose my rag over the TV). As I don't watch the rest of the storylines on ATWT I can't really comment on Nuke's airtime and storyline in comparision with other couples on the soap. I know what I'd like to see but, in all honesty, as long as Nuke are there I will probably watch if only because I am an eternal optimist and hold out hope for a happy ending for them.

I guess I'll have to wait until the episode airs before I can really comment. At least the current storyline is getting more of a reaction from me at least. After a while whenever Ameera appeared all I could think was "meh."

Brian confuses the heck out of me and I can't figure him out. I do not like it. What is up with him? Grrrrr!!! I know he wanted to set up the dinner table etc but it seems out that he'd duck out of the first lot of mushroom hunting. I mean, he seems to be the one who knows about mushrooms so surely he should have accompanied them on their first mushroom hunting trip? I have decided I do not like him and even if he turns out to be an angel I will still dislike him.

WTF! Now Brian is an official cockblocker? So now the boys cannot spend a night ( in more likely seperate sleeping bags ) in the same tent? Have they heard of 3 tents instead of 2...Come on like they were going to do the deed with grandma in the tent next to them...they wont even do it when they are alone at the farm...and is Brian a metro-sexual or can we say GAY!! I have never seen so much luxury crap at a supposedly "roughing" it camping event...His spread was better than Colin Cowie's parties...and can someone please tell me where the heck did Noah's camera come from? All of a sudden Noah is filming Lucinda and how long is he going to be in Rome, where did that come from I guess this is what happens when they are on once every other week for 5 minutes and we are left with filling the blanks! These guys have such amazing chemistry!! Please give them a REAL ROMANTIC STORY and not a BROMANTIC STORY...Van and Jake are the reason why I still bother with this story line...Btw Luke's hair was looking GREAT and Noah looked great with the facial hair! and they looked great together Louisa I am the one ranting today! Sorry everyone

Mmmmh. If the writers/producers/P&G/whoever think that America might have a problem with the guys having sex why not let Luke follow Noah to Italy. There they could have as much sex as they want because I'm quite sure the italiens won't have a problem with it. ;-)

My thoughts: No idea where this is going, but Jake is pretty. Very pretty. The end. ;D

Watched the Sept 4th episode (which was dull overall, IMO... where's Casey/Emily? ) and while I agree with folks that Jake and Van (loving the hair) looked great plus the Noah/Luke interaction was cute, I found the whole camping trip a complete waste of time. I think the only thing that saved it for me was that Jake looked so damn pretty (y'all know I am a Jake fan ) and Van's fabulous hair, which as good as it looks now, totally makes him look closer to VH's 26 than Luke's 19. Now, what the heck is Brian up to? I found his behavior weird. I thought he was all about Lucinda's money and flattering her yet he seemed rather uninterested in spending time with her like he was going through the motions but I didn't get a golddigger vibe just completely uninterested. Hmmmm.

His behaviour is odd. I find it hard to believe that he wanted to work for the Snyder Foundation that much that he pursued Lucinda and is now slowly backing off because he has the job. Besides he nearly jeapordised his job by suggesting Nuke go back into the closet, so I don't think this is his motivation. He's not really exhibiting a "golddigger vibe" unless he's trying to divert suspicion by backing off in the hope that Lucinda might 'pursue' him. Or is he a plot device character sent by Colonel Pyscho from his underwater kingdom/beyond the grave/whereever to try and split Nuke up?? Or does he just want to snuggle up to both the guys in the coziness of a tent underneath the stars? Or is that just me?It is a good thing that Jake and Van are so pretty and that Nuke had such cute interactions because I think my brain would otherwise explode focusing on Brian so much.

I have to say that Brian is stealing ( the lack of ) Nuke storyline...He is definately an intriguing character...He did not come across as a "golddigger" to me either...I cannot wait to find out what are his true motives... Nu/Fake Lilly is still annoying! Hoden and Carly will they get together or not? At this point who really cares...Will Liberty attacker remember that Brad pushed him in the water and he almost drowned? Once again who cares...and are we seeing glimpses of G-man? Now that would be interesting having the old Jack back Sorry got a bit off topic there! ;D
