ATWT recap: Ameera goes from homewrecker to supportive friend?

Boy, a day after the smooch heard around the world, Luke casually gave Noah a quick kiss on the lips on his way out the door in one of the scenes on "As the World Turns" today. Just like a regular couple. Maybe the show's powers that be or sponsors have been watching "Brothers & Sisters" and learned a few lessons about how to portray gay love without incident.

Anywho, Ameera gets all gussied up and tries to seduce Noah. She kisses him and he pulls away with kind of a grossed out look on his face. He actually was decent about it but told her it could not happen. She runs off in tears and says 'I'm so ashamed." Luke, who must be feeling more secure after getting to play tonsil hockey with Noah the other day, basically laughs it off telling Ameera: "What's a kiss between friends? Who cares?"

But he wisely decides to movie in with the green card couple and the show ends with he and Luke presenting a birthday cake to Ameera who had only a bit earlier had ditched her hussy clothes, got back into her traditional garb, and announced sjhe was going back to Iraq.

The boys, being ever so sweet, stopped her and as she prepared to blow out her candles, she said: "I wish for my friends to be very, very happy."

Well, maybe they will be now that you are over your delusion! But in soap land, there will certainly be some new roadblock for our young gay lovers who have already survived coming out, Noah's homicidal father, Luke temporary paralysis and now Ameera.

Here are today';s scenes:
