No.... I don't think they ever planned to make it look like Noah and Ameera are having an affair.  They'd have to know that would enrage fans and really turn people against Noah and this new character.  No.... I don't think the show will go there.

Really? I guess I'll defer to your judgment on that because you're usually right, but I think it's entirely possible that they would go there, at least for a little while. They've made momunental miscalculations of what viewers would like before.

Of course, I might be giving the show more credit than they deserve. Lord knows I have the tendency to do that. You could be right.... that they saw that they were going too far in hinting or making people believe that Noah and Ameera were hooking up and changed it. Because that would hurt their goal of making Noah more likable and it wouldn't help Ameera much either.

To be honest, I don't think poor Ameera has much of a shot in the court of public opinion, which is a shame for the actress. But she's coming between a soap couple with a very loyal and, shall I say, "volatile" fan base.

Another good point, which leads to a question for discussion: Is it possible the long-term purpose for Ameera is to eventually trash her, and as such build sympathy and likeability for Luke and Noah to the viewers who don't like them?

While I do think that the character of Ameera is designed to cause conflict for and give something/someone for Luke and Noah to battle against, the show is also grooming her to be a long term player if she works out. So they can't trash her too badly, I don't think. That's why more and more I think she'll be a bad girl, first in this story, maybe an ongoing problem for the boys. I have feeling she's going to be the show's young vixen.

Oh -- I didn't know the grooming part, but in light of that, it answers that question.

I was thinking of that as well, and really hoping that is what is the storyline will be that I know will make alot of them happy, because it would be more of an adventure storyline. I even like the idea of it as well.

Definitely. I still think it will be an uphill battle for her, though...

Yes, that's a problem. Many viewers hate the idea of her being there in the first place. Just look at the various posts at the other board about this poor thing. Someone even said they hope she doesn't sit between them at the lunch! I mean, come one! And if the story is like we've heard thus far, they're going to be very resistant to the idea and not even give it a chance to play out. Then again those folks don't want Luke and Noah to face any serious hardship, which with this story, they will.

I'm just afraid they won't give her or the story a chance. I don't care what they say.... they are a reactionary bunch and short sighted to boot.

Well, even I have to say that how they handle this storyline will make or break the couple for me. I'll always support the show, but as many people here know, Noah's always been on thin ice with me. Of course, I'm not going to fly off the handle if I don't like the direction they take the story in, and I'll give it every chance. But I think that it's Noah's last chance with TPTB because they sense that it's his last chance with a lot of the viewers as well.

Yep.... that is the whole point of this story. I just hope they succeed. I really do.

I agree with you. I am not a fan of them as a couple right now. I really don't care anymore. So if this storyline brings some juice so I'm hoping I will like them again but if not...I'm ok because I watch the whole show and I'm loving the new Casey.

Does anyone know if Billy has an e-mail addy? I would love to drop him a line and tell him I support him.

I think I liked the NuDallas right off... sadly the show isn't using him like they should. Oddly enough I liked Holden from day one way back when as well.

I made a quick look, there's not one for him set up at the fan club website yet, but he is listed there as taking part in the luncheon. In case you didn't know, you may have though.
