Members All My Shadows Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 I don't believe you're owed an explanation, but I'll try to help you understand. I can't speak for anyone else, so for me, not liking Luke and Noah as a couple is more complex than just "I don't like them, and that's all there is." There are characters and stories that I don't like and will not post about because I just do not care (Craig's crap, whatever's going on with Holden and Lily right now, etc). Luke and Noah are different because they're part of something that I'm very passionate about, the depiction of gay characters on television, so whatever the show has them do, I'm going to have a strong opinion of it, positively or negatively. And if I want to share my opinion, I will. Also, another reason why I think a lot of us pay close attention to what the show does with these two characters is because so much publicity and attention has been given to them and the belief that they are a "supercouple," so, as people who don't subscribe to that belief, we do take pleasure in pointing out what makes branding them a supercouple such a ridiculous thing.

Members Sylph Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 All My Shadows, do you recall the 'path' towards the point where they are now? The descent into so many people hating them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 LMAO. You know I do. I've maniacally tracked the "courtship" of Luke and Noah in posts before, so I'll have to go back and see if I can find a good one. Or hell, I can just get worked up enough to add to the collection.

Members Sylph Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Because it was fascinating, wasn't it? Especially when one has a clear picture all the way from their first moments up to the present day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 It is. Honestly, I think that a lot of us would be just apathetic towards Luke and Noah if not for the insistent fans who would have you believe that they reached supercouple status within, like...a year and a half. When any couple is given that treatment, there will be tons of detractors who are completely just in their detracting. Are you serious? Luke and Noah, the "gay Bob and Kim?" Are you SERIOUS?! But I don't have the time right now to get into this just yet. I'll be back later. And I do find it fitting that this discussion is happening on the third anniversary of Noah's first appearance. For goodness sake, the kid's only been on the show for three freaking years, all of which have been under a headwriter and executive producer who are almost universally disliked. Yet he's half of a supercouple. Whatever, man. Whatevarrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the only reason why Luke and Noah were so important was because they were first (for men), not because they were good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Nancy... Kinda strange that her last scene is in a coffee shop, of all places. Nancy Hughes has no use for coffee shops. She makes her own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JellicleCat Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Why am I not surprised over a response like that from you?! Your maturity level shows loud and clear in every post you post, so I really don't take you seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JellicleCat Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thank you for that explanation. It's nice to see that some posters actually can discuss things rationally without resorting to childishness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 You shouldn't be surprised. Guess you haven't recovered from the warm reception that ESS got at the ATWT luncheon. It must have made you crazy since you were so worried about him being in put in an awkward position and all. LOL! I'm glad that ATWT is done if only to shut up the rabid online fanbases who have contributed to the crap that ATWT has become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Oh my Jesus, I am done with Danny Cosgrove. That singing was just...nooooooo. Katie deserves better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JellicleCat Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Don't try to give me opinions I've never had! I never wanted or hoped that ESS would be badly treated at the luncheon. Knowing how some fans are I expressed a concern that that might be the case, nothing else. Frankly I don't know why I even bother trying to explain this to you. You'll probably just respond with something equally childish again, since that seems to be what you excel at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted June 1, 2010 Members Share Posted June 1, 2010 Eh, you are just ticked off that ESS got a good reception at the ATWT luncheon like most of us expected and he wasn't booed like you hoped. You think that anyone doesn't like Luke and Noah and calls you out on your weird fixation on them and dislike for ESS is childish. My advice, find another soap couple to obsess over. ATWT is OVER. LOL! Katie is horrible so the singing must be absolutely horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
