"As the World Turns" Gay Kiss (VIDEO)

AUGUST 17, 2007: Now that was hot! Daytime went gaytime as television history was made earlier today on CBS' "As the World Turns" when Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann became the first two male actors to share a gay kiss on a broadcast network daytime soap opera.

It all began when Noah's father, a man of military background, came for a visit and tried to persuade his son to join the Army and become "a proper man."

Can the old man sense his son could be gay? After all, when Noah introduced Maddie as his girlfriend, the father thought he was pretending to please him.

As Noah, being ever-so-adorable, struggled to put on a tie in a rush to meet his father and girlfriend for lunch, Luke stops by to give a helping hand.

And boy, did he help! As Luke rushed to get Noah a tie and they cut to a different scene my poor little heart went boo-boom ba-bam as I knew the moment had arrived. And here is how it all went down.



Kudos to "As the World Turns" for going where no daytime soap opera had gone before, as well as the actors who managed to project genuine passion.

It's Sizzling Hot @

"As the World Turns" Hunks to Kiss

AUGUST 16, 2007: Entertainment Tonight reports that the season-long gay storyline on CBS' "As the World Turns" which has got hot and steamy in recent days will make daytime TV history, as hunks Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann kiss this Friday.

It all began last year when gay teen Luke Snyder (Hansis) struggled to come out to his family and friends. He is the first gay character on "As the World Turns" coming from the central family with a story arc of his own.

Recently, actor Jake Silbermann was introduced as Noah Mayer, an intern at the TV station where Luke and his friend Maddie are working. Although it appears Noah is straight as he begins dating Maddie, he soon becomes attracted to Luke.

Following last week's steamy shirtless scene, the two teen boys finally kiss this Friday.

VIDEO: Luke and Noah Thanksgiving

Now this is an eventful episode. First Noah utters the B-word, then that homophobic son of a bitch returns so Noah can tell him in the eyes what a despicable piece of human trash he is, and to top it all of, Luke makes crucial and very, very soapy progress in the heat of the moment. No, unfortunately not THAT kind of heat. And as if all that wasn't enough, Noah gets even hotter with a sexy new haircut.

Luke & Noah's Halloween Feud

Oh, I just had to post this image the moment I laid my eyes on it. Colonel Mayer (or Retard as I used to refer to him, no offense to the actor) and the boys in love on the CBS soap "As the World Turns." Of course "Hardcastle and McCormick" star Daniel Hugh Kelly had to step out of his homophobic character in order to make this picture. And that's a great opportunity for a little recap of what went down during a Nuke Halloween.

Following last week's tender closing scene, the boys' relationship is encountering new challenges. Maddie has moved away and Luke's parents have separated. Meanwhile, he is still bound to his wheelchair, getting all cranky and pushing Noah away. I certainly hope the soapy twist preventing the happy couple from consummating their loving relationship will be over before the writers strike takes the show off air in November.

VIDEO: Luke & Noah: The Gay Saga Continues

Televisionista's udates of the gay storyline on CBS' "As the World Turns" are back with a look back at all the drama and the heartache of the past week.

Noah blames himself for what his psycho father did to Luke and decides to stay away from his paralyzed boyfriend, hurting him even more in the process.

But will his guilt push him back to his bisexual ways? Is Maddie the one to put some sense back into him? The feuding parents are certainly not helpful.

But fear not, the week ends on a tender note. If you don't have the patience to watch all the videos, make sure you scroll down and enjoy the final clip.

As one relationship runs its course, another one is only beginning.

Finally. The crazy SOB gets what he deserves. At least I hope he does. Now if we could only cut the melodrama and go back to romance. But judging by the previews we won't be that lucky. At least not in the short run.

Luke & Noah: Retard at Large (VIDEO)

As his maniac father flees the crime scene, a stunned Noah is obviously overwhelmed. His concern for a wounded Luke appears to be overshadowed by the shock he suffers after seeing a vile act of pure evil. And how about Holden blaming Lilly for everything that happened? "As the World Turns" at its soapiest.

VIDEO: Luke & Noah: Bang Bang

No, the above image doesn't depict a sexy twist in the romantic storyline of Luke and Noah on "As the World Turns," but it is rather a candid image of the actors who portray them, Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann and a buddy, on a cruising trip. No, not that kind of cruising. Now, check out the week-ending developments on the CBS soap that end with a bang. No, not the good kind. Sheesh, I'm dirty.

VIDEO: Luke and Noah: Maddie's Not Stupid

Not that Luke and Noah are. But, when people want things too much, they tend to turn a blind eye and that's exactly what happens as Noah desires both his happiness with Luke, and his dad's approval. Judging by the previews I gather the fishing trip does take place. Now if only someone would finally do away with that homicidal nitwit.

VIDEO: Luke & Noah: Daddy's Game

He said "hon." How cute is that? I am of course finding it difficult to believe the latest twists in the gay storyline on CBS' daytime soap "As the World Turns," namely Noah's inability to recognize his father is up to something. Luckily, despite being temporarily blinded by his new-found bliss, it appears Luke may ultimately see through the nasty-minded Colonel. Now will somebody finally get Dusty out of that car?

VIDEO: Luke & Noah: Daddy Blows Up

The annoying idiot I generously refer to as Colonel Retard a.k.a. Noah's father goes berserk having witnesses a tender kiss between two young men in love. What a stupid homophobic moron. Of course, there's a soapy twist to the latest episode in the saga of Luke and Noah, as the homicidal maniac makes a decision to stay in town and presumably take care of Luke.

VIDEO: Luke & Noah: The Second Kiss

Now that's my kind of a cliffhanger. Maddie and Noah come to an understanding, but the homicidal Colonel Retard erroneously believes his son has gotten back together with his girlfriend. Little did he know what he would see by the end of the latest hour of CBS' "As the World Turns."

VIDEO: Luke & Noah: A Case of the Gay

Now that's my quote of the week. "Give Noah a case of the gay." Loves it. Colonel Nasty is not only a homophobe, but also a murderer on a rampage. Double loves it. And Maddie finally tells Noah to his face what even Luke was too afraid to say: "You're gay." Triple loves it. Although I am not sure about Noah all of a sudden coming to terms with his sexuality. That just happened too fast. Oh, well... It's a soap opera after all.

I guess this show is really hitting close to home for me. Now all I want to know is when this sudden and strong urge of mine to beat the crap out of Noah's idiot father finally passes. I'll straighten YOU out, creep. :) Maddie makes the right decision, but will there be consequences when Colonel Retard goes berserk on the latest video update of Luke & Noah's storyline on CBS' "As the World Turns"?
