Scoops on 'World Turns' This week, breaking news on ATWT's plans for the Luke and Noah love story By Abby West ATWT: Kissing Games After percolating on message boards for weeks, fan discontent over the lack of a kiss between As the World Turns' Luke and Noah during the show's Valentine's Day episode exploded this past week. In addition to mainstream news articles about it, an online petition implored the powers-that-be to treat the gay couple ''in same manner as any other love story involving any other teen characters.'' During the V-Day episode, they were the only couple not to smooch during a kissing montage, and many speculated that not only was the show fearful of moving forward with a gay storyline, but that the introduction of a new female character would mean the couple's eminent breakup. But fans shouldn't worry, says one show insider. Noah won't be switching teams and becoming romantically involved with the recently-emigrated Iraqi girl, Ameera, anytime soon. He and Luke will remain a united front, though one rumor, involving a deportation-avoiding marriage between Ameera and Noah, actually is true. Their nups are being written as a standard soap opera tactic of constantly-impeded-love, however, and there's no master plan to actually break up Noah and Luke, says the insider. For their part, both the show's home network, CBS, and it's producer, Procter & Gamble Productions Inc., have pledged support for the couple's continued storyline and insist there's no censoring going on. ''We've purposely told Luke and Noah's story slowly to bring our viewers along with us and engage them — which we've clearly done,'' says P&G's statement. It continued, ''We make decisions on how to tell our stories based on what we think is best creatively and for our diverse audience.'' http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20182784,00.html |

this quote has me intrigued "He and Luke will remain a united front, though one rumor, involving a deportation-avoiding marriage between Ameera and Noah, actually is true." |

Where is the breaking news!? I could've written that! No new info, but what is interesting is that they using a major magazine to reassure worried viewers. And.... this seems very, very close to what Micheal Jensen said in his bit this AM. Not saying anything, just noticing. Looking further into this, you see that Martha's last tape day is March 14th. That explains why she's giving that chat on the 16th so she can be free to talk. Lily must be making her exit about mid April. |

I still don't believe they won't have ANY problems or stress on the relationship because of this. Makes no sense. I note that it says to 'actually' break them up. But won't they have to pretend they are broken up? I mean, their relationship is going to come up eventually. They'll have to answer questions about it, I would think. And I still say at one point, it's going to become too much for Luke and he'll break up with Noah. They'll get back together because they are endgame, but I don't think any split with be permanent. But there has to be drama in the relationship, otherwise, what's the point? |

That's where a lot of the meat of the story lies, so they're bound to have some stressful times. |

Yeah, I agree there is still going to have to be some sort of problems. I mean Noah marrying Ameera, isn't what I'd call "ideal". No problems, no story. |

This last paragraph was apparently added after the original article was posted because I don't recall reading it before: And for some, like GLAAD spokesman Damon Romine, the pace of the story doesn't overshadow the magnitude of the relationship being on air. ''The fact that Luke and Noah have shared two kisses is historic,'' said Romine. ''Perhaps some compromises are being made on the intimacy front to allow their story to continue to be told, but let's keep in mind that if P&G or CBS did not want to tell this story, they would very easily have already brought it to an end.'' Now, how do you guys feel about this? |

Luke/Noah stalker
|
part of me think that GLAAD was not pushing becase they wanting the story to continue forward and not have to be about a Kiss on the lips. it helped that the Lady of Luke and Noah fanbase helped for getting more kisses.. who know what the next soap will do the next gay couple? |
