LOL..I went over that and saw a blurb "Mark is OUT!" and almost did a bad gay sterotype swoon and fainted...("Lordy but I think I need my smellin' salts!" ) but then caught it was from SOW..

Why oh why are we stuck with that fugly guy who plays Paul when we dont have Mark!!!

Ha....I've been saying that for the longest time. I cant stand Roger Howarth. I cant believe he is still on the show. He adds zero to the show.

I couldn't disagree more!

That Brian/Luke scene was shockingly tender.

An upset Luke. Brian embraced him. Stroked the back of his head--really nice. Progressed...still consoling...to a kiss on the forehead. Luke kind of responded. Then it became the lip kisses.

That scene seemed like a genuine, accidental, moment of tenderness. The kind of thing we see with straight couples all the time on soaps, where consoling becomes something more.

I hope Brian is a good guy. I hope he feels conflicted about this--torn between grandma and grandson. That is classic soap, classic Walsh/Snyder, and classic fun.

I absolutely agree! I thought it worked perfectly; such a sweet, tender moment.
