Members All My Shadows Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 Basically, he thinks Luke/Reid is a much more interesting story to play than Luke/Noah was, but he has to throw little compliments to Luke/Noah so as not to piss off the fans. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said, “We are getting positive feedback for Luke and Reid. And who would’ve imagined we could bring anyone between Luke and Noah? You never know. I thought people would yell, ‘You can’t do that.’ But it’s been great!” Well, Jean, if you had written Noah such that he hadn't backed away from Luke every single chance he got, maybe you would have had the kind of problems you anticipated with someone coming between Luke and Noah. It was such an improvement to see Luke in a truly viable relationship, how could anyone have preferred Luke staying with Noah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 28, 2010 Members Share Posted May 28, 2010 After reading the entire interview, I have to say that I'm impressed. He knows what he's talking about, and I imagine some of the most diehard Nuke folks might be rubbed the wrong way by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Difficult Diva Posted June 2, 2010 Members Share Posted June 2, 2010 Oh, they most certainly are "rubbed the wrong way" by Van's comments, but then again, he ALWAYS seems to (in their minds) say the wrong thing in the press about the storylines that he's in. He's not like Jake, in which he placates the Nuke fanbase with sayings like "singular heart" and that "the fans are owed a happy ending". Most of the die-hard Nukies absolutely hate that Reid's involved with Luke (and Noah) and the last months. They consider him to be a "newbie that's taking screentime away from the other veterans". Yet, Luke (and Noah) and their storyline has been given new life and blood with Reid's introduction. Sucks to be them (Nukies) during these last couple of months.
