ATWT Luke & Noah: Thursday Aug 9th Discussion


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I believe the initial script for when Aaron came back had him interacting with Maddie in the Synder farm, or something to that effect.

I must say about the Nuke thing, I HATED how they first established these two characters. I especially hated how Luke fell for Noah, like one day after meeting him. Remember when he was in the office with Jade and telling her how he did it again, falling for the wrong guy? Um WTF? It would've been much more realistic and better had they started Noah and Luke off as friends getting to know one another, with Luke not really looking for something with Noah at the beginning. Over time, as they developed as friends, they both would start falling for one another. Noah would eventually confide his secret to Luke and they's go from there. Those idiots need to learn that you can't give everything away at the beginning. You can lust after someone after the first meeting, but it definitely isn't love. Those scenes made me want to gag.

I agree with you...The whole set-up was just poorly written and set up. It was as if everything was behind the scenes and we, the viewers were just to be expected to accept that Luke had feelings for Noah, despite the fact that they didn't have any time of interaction or have any mutual feelings develop.

It would have made sense if the two had scenes together where they just bonded and had a deep friendship; and then Luke started to develop feelings for him based off of that; but it didn't make sense to have him suddenly have a liking for him when there was nothing that sparked that attraction to begin with.

First, nice to see you posting on the ATWT threads. :) Second, I agree with you. I get the feeling we are going to get shafted with Nuke. The "kiss" will more likely be offscreen. Which pisses the hell out of me! Why do NUke if they are going to treat this story this way? Shame on ATWT if this is what will happen. Really what the [!@#$%^&*] does ATWT have to lose? Their ratings suck! All other stories are idotic and boring! Why not take a shot and see what happens. It figures ATWT would chicken out! <_<

I agree with you all about the Nuke set up. But when has Jean Passanante done a great set up for any story. Susan's supposed drinking again? Bad set up. I even think the storyline is over with. This hack is still in charge and I dont know why.

Correct me if I am wrong but didnt Cady McClain say there was a "kiss" coming up? I believe Jake and Van said they wanted to play this story to its fulliest. If this "kiss" was being done offscreen I am assuming they are not happy about it.

Oh ok....Jean Pissanante's writing of storylines is getting on my last nerve. If it wasnt for some characters and Nuke storyline I would bolt from this show. I am so feed up with Jean's horrible writing. No changes are being done. She is still there sitting on her high chair with Chris Goutman applauding her. Makes me wnat to just gag!

Not when ATWT sends Jake out on publicity ops with Van and Jen Landon (the GLAAD media awards), etc, when the ink is barely dry on his contract in MARCH, and introduces him as "Luke's new boyfriend" and makes sure it gets written up in the mags. No, CBS hasn't built a commercial around Noah and Luke (and probably never will), but that's not the only way to get the news out about this story. That's what I mean by ATWT pimping this story.

Can you imagine a ATWT preview during Y&R about Nuke. On ATWT Luke and Noah ...things start heating up ....and they show the scene that happened yesterday.....Yeah right ...we will never see anything like that on daytime tv. <_<

Yes, I also read it in the spoilers. But it looks like it will be offscreen. <_<

    • First, let me say I love reading all of your takes and thoughts. They always provide a different point of view... a breath of fresh air... in this sometimes stuffy topic.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.   
    • I always get the vibe that Martin/Smitty have an emotional abusive relationship set up... but I doubt the show will really go there with that element given that Martin is a Dupree (and we can't have the Duprees be portrayed in a negative light), and because it's a gay male relationship.   Even though abuse in the physical or emotional sense is a huge thing in a lot of gay and lesbian relationships. The Ashley/Naomi scene reads off to me for one reason....  Ashley was talking about the new scandal without any sort of mention and/or subtext.. considering she knew both Silk Press Sheila and Eva.  I'm not sure if the writers have forgotten, if Jen Jacobs isn't able to play subtext, or what.   It's just apparent the writers do not know how to write a young white millennial couple.. and perhaps they need to get a younger white script writer to be on staff... or let the actors play around with the lines to make them more natural/realistic.
    • This is as good a time as any to point out that the 90 minute show was, what I like to call  "cockamamie idea" of Fred Silverman, head of NBC Daytime Programming. He did so well at ABC & CBS but not so NBC. We learned this from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay, 2006, can be found on YouTube, audio only. Now, to be clear, Rauch was completely behind it. Only Lemay fought against it & eventually quit over it.   
    • She was so wonderful. Glad your handle has been a tribute to her.
    • Hopefully Alan has learned to not interrupt or interject with pointless information while someone is in the middle of telling a story. I almost think it would be better if Alan was a producer behind the scenes.. and he just had the actors on screen talking and asking one another questions.  Those interviews tend to work better.
    • It was only recently announced that Denise Alexander passed away on March 5, 2025. She was my all time favorite actress and role model. She will be dearly missed.  Denise Alexander, ‘General Hospital' and ‘Days of Our Lives' Actress, Dies at 85
    • Hopefully Alan will actually read the book beforehand.

    • Am I the only one who immediately thinks of this every time someone mentions Smitty?
