Yeah, I am sure most of the fans they had tuned out long time ago.

I still want my Levin. Nuke has sailed long ago. I cringe when I see Noah now. Put him with Ameera and give Levin a chance.

I give those Van Hansis fans credit for using their media contacts to get the publicity that let Luke and Noah kiss. Basically, they have accomplished their "agenda" for one of the worse couples on ATWT.

ATWT is in sorry shape. It should be embarrassed that it let Martha go. It is only fair that they are stuck with terrible actors playing even worse characters.

Hmm....such negativism.

I'm thrilled about this...regardless of sexuality, finally daytime may tell this story authentically. The under-the-radar event was brilliant on two levels.

First, by sneaking in the kiss, no advance protest (e.g., from conservative christian groups) could stir things up.

Second, this now ensures viral dissemination (some of you already mentioned Youtube)...which is 'hip and cool'...and that grows the desired demos.

Let me also say I hope that people don't go to Youtube, but to CBS.com (online streaming) ... if they count the hits, and the advertisers count the hits, more good stuff will follow.

This is a terrific way to shift some of the sad attention away from Martha Byrne's departure. Good job!

Jake Silberman??? Anyone???

CBS.com is too slow though and it freezes up. I know I am not the only one who has troubles with it. Youtube is a much better choice to catch an eppy.

I have a feeling that is why it was done. I hadnt thought of the MB angle. They need something to keep the viewers watching. I am looking forward to the Emily/Tom/Maro/Casey dynamics instead however.

As to Nuke...lets see how long it takes for the second kiss to occur. A year,.......never.....we will see.

I am not sure I understand the comment...either "kool-aid" or "you people".

I'd invite your specific refutation or disagreement with the facts or conjectures in my earlier post.

Suffice it to say, for me, I am pleased whenever daytime broadens its' universe. Physical disability on Port Charles. Alzheimers on ATWT. African Americans throughout the 60s and 70s. GLBT, sporadically, since the 80s. A person of middle eastern descent on Y&R now. Jewish people on OLTL and Y&R. And so on.

I actually don't want their differences to be a part of the story...I just want diverse people in my daytime universe. What we saw with ATWT today was one small part of that. I don't care if we never see kissing again (well, I do)...but I want to know that these two young gay men are allowed to have the same love and affection and respect as everyone else. I don't care if a lot of that happens off camera...I just want the depiction to be authentic.

No kool-aid. I'm not a member of any "you people" I can think of (although that's a fascinating rhetorical distancing device, if that was your intention?). Just happy that the soap universe looks more and more like the real one.

The problem was that when the Nuke story was being handled and shown with respect, some bitched and moaned how "out of place" it was in Oakdale, where couples with one vagina get married every six months and grind themselves to death in elevators. God forbid you didn't care, or didn't see the need to bring it up after every Nuke episode. And don't even get me started on the scary level of dislike around some parts for Ameera, the poor confused girl co*kblocker. Funny how a message about tolerance got lost when it comes to the mandatory third wheel.

Kind of like the Carjack fans must feel now. I'm not a diehard Carjacker, but I recognize the immense chemistry between Maura and Michael and I gotta believe those fans are getting ready to burn down the CBS Broadcast Center.

    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
    • Speaking of Emily, I really wish that Marie Masters could do a Locher Room. I haven’t seen anything about her in years!
    • 1980/81 Dallas was a killer show. 18/23 episodes finished #1 and the remaining five finished 2nd.

    • Going by ratings, I'd say 1982. June 8, 1981 to October 5, 1984 Ryan's Hope time slot rival was Y&R. Ryan's Hope was competitive vs. Y&R until June 1982. Remainder of 1982 Ryan's Hope falls and Y&R rebounds from their post-expansion slump. 1983 Y&R blew up and we know the rest.
    • An early TV role for Carolyn Groves, the Victoria recast we deserved.
