z13.invisionfree.com/vanhansis/index.php?showtopic=8998Syrus posted Carolyn's rant on the Van Hansis forum. "I don't understand why some fans get SO MAD when their shows don't write exactly what they want. If ALL MY CHILDREN's "Zendall" fans got "Happily Ever After," Zach and Kendall would be on an endless picnic with the kids, and Thorsten Kaye and Alicia Minshew would quit the show because they'd be bored to death. It's Daytime DRAMA, people. Ditto for the "Nuke" fans watching AS THE WORLD TURNS, most of whom I suspect do not regularly watch soaps. If they did, they would know that the longer it takes to tell a love story, the better it is. A good show lets the characters kiss, throws in a ton of obstacles and misunderstandings, and then brings them back together for another kiss during sweeps. But because Luke and Noah are gay, it's a conspiracy. Clint and Nora have yet to have sex on ONE LIFE TO LIVE, even though they are, ahem, mid-life. Is OLTL discriminating against them because of their age? Or just telling a good story? Get back to me when Rex and Gigi even hold hands---that's been eight months. I also wonder about the Nuke outrage at a time when no other show even has a gay character, much less a gay couple. With all this backlash, why would another soap risk it? It's a no-win situation---half the audience is mad that they are telling a gay story, and the other half is mad that it's not going fast enough. No one is saying, "Good job," to AS THE WORLD TURNS, so I guess I'll say it. That's the way you're supposed to tell a good soap story. Make 'em wait! But if those two crazy kids haven't hit the sheets in a year, get back to me." Thanks dkellergrl. I don't mean to be rude but is she simple? Cause she can't be serious. She's totally missing the point why most Noah/Luke fans are upset with how PGP/ ATWT is telling their story. And I wish people would stop calling the current storyline good. IT ISN'T GOOD, IT IS DROSS.

It is indeed... She's a bit . She doesn't get the point AT ALL! But that's not the first time, so I'm not surprised...

All I could think was way to be obtuse.

It's not the first time I've heard that... I always thought - and still think - they would make a great couple.

I think I read somewhere on the internet, that he said he had a girlfriend? I'm not sure though, I mean who knows beside Van himself?

Tidbit I found via Soap Talk: The Gay Kiss Cover-UpATWT fans weren't the only ones surprised when Luke and Noah kissed in April for the first time in seven months. Numerous actors report that even though they were in that episode - and on-set all day - they didn't know the two would kiss, either. Sources say even Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann didn't know of their characters' smooch in advance. "Chis [Goutman] reshot that scene," reveals a setside source. "He went in after the episode was finished and directed a kiss." The source adds that another kiss has since been shot, again under the supervision of Goutman, who came out of the booth and directed it to the surprise of everyone on-set, including the director.Why have the writers been told not to script any kisses between the two men, and yet the executive producer can insert them at will - in secret? "The executive producer retains creative control for the entire show and is the one ultimately responsible day in and day out," responds an ATWT rep. "Chris Goutman is a very 'hands-on' executive producer and frequently directs scenes for the show. Often, scenes are rewritten or redirected at the discretion of the executive producer." Hmmmmmm.

Van is a semi-finalist in the Adonis 2008 competition. It's only May 14th - 20th you can vote for him. If you want to vote for him, go here: soaphunks.net/contestants08.php Billy, who plays Casey Hughes, is up for the vote May 21st-27th Jake is up May 28th-June 3rd and he's definitely getting my vote. I have to make up for how poorly things turned out for him in the Gay Daytime blog of hottest guy in the soaps. Austin, aka Brad Snyder, and Dylan, aka Chris Hughes, are up for the vote June 4th-10th

You think Van is a fan of Christian too and this is why he's wearing an orange shirt at the Emmy's?

More photos of Jake, Van and others (especially Jon Hensley) during the Daytime Emmy's afterparty. Photos are from the PGP Classics Soaps blog. pgpclassicsoaps.blogspot.com/btw - There's a salicious photo of Roger Howarth and Marie Wilson on the PGP Classics Blog, that has caused ALOT of rumours/speculation on their personal lives OUTSIDE of their pairing on ATWT. Check out the link and let me know what you guys think about it. Off-line, of course. Van Hansis and GL's Caitlin VanZandt (Ashlee) ATWT's Mike #3, Jon Prescott, meets Mike #1 Shawn Christian CBS Senior Vice President Barbara Bloom with ATWT's Jon Hensley (Holden) and real-life wife, Kelley Menighan Hensley (Emily) ATWT's Jake Silbermann (Noah) and Billy Magnussen (Casey)

Thanks for those, dkellergrl2001. I saw a few other pics, and uhm, someone might kind of want their very own (even sweaty) Jake Silbermann.
Noah, so-so. But Jake, Hello! ;D

Did everyone see the first comment in the response box. I'm not sure why this is still okay to think, feel and express! It's like saying "I don't agree with all those blue eyed people, why can't they just wear contacts already" ... maaahhhhhhhhhh!!! (Whew. Rage over. Soap box put away.) michael_knight Jul 2, 2008 6:56:28 AM Report Offensive Post 2 Dudes Kissing?!?!? I'm sorry but that's just Gay!! I agree that Gays should have the same rights but that's only to ensure my own rights. I know enough that if one group of people can be denied rights your group might be next, but I definitely don't agree with all that homosexuality stuff

How stupid of them not to have Noah/Luke as a driving storyline (or even Lily/Holden/Carly/Jack/Janet/Brad/Katie). I despise PAul and Meg. And You could tell after the trial tha tAlison, depsite everything, still has feelings for Chris. dkellergrl, check out the TWOP ATWT thread. Casey/Emily is about to explode but I love it.
