ATWT recap: New digs for Noah and Ameera...

I see that the writers of "As the World Turns" have not taken my suggestion of having Ameera deported immediately. One thing they have failed to convey is why this girl is worth all this trouble. In today's scenes, she and Noah, Luke and Casey (again reluctantly agreeing to be Luke's boyfriend to throw off the feds) go to some kind of going away party at a relative's house (I don't know who the hell the relative is.)
Luke (Van Hansis) is clearly having a ball pretending to be Casey's boyfriend. In fact, their pretend relationship looks a lot more fun than his complicated relationship with Noah. So thye gang gets Casey to go to the party as Luke's date but at at first protests: "No way man! I'm not pretending to be gay again!"
Luke toi Casey: "Why not? (The feds) already have you on file as my boyfriend."
At the party, they explain the arrangement to their hosts and Casey says: "I'm thje beard!"
Then poor viictim Ameera says: "I'm worried. I'm not sure how much longer I can continue to pretend bein g married when we're living in seperate bedrooms in someone else's house."
The relatives suggest Noah and Ameera move into their house and tell Luke this actually means more freedom for him and Noah. Wow! Maybe they'll even KISS!!! On this annoying topic, I gotta give full credit to Hansis who despite the kissing ban, manages to convey his affection for Noah by touching his arms and other body parts. At the party, him running his fiungers through Noah's hair as the group talked was a nice touch.
Here are the scenes from today:



Greg, you want to see man on man action gay soap opera. Check out Germany's Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love) Today's episode was smoking hot.
I think Van is more natural on the display of fisical affection -something hard to show or simulate if your enviroment was a no-touch one- Jake just try to follow suit keeping his hand on "Luke"s leg -even though it can be argued that his family background was colder than freezed steel-. Jake is a nice actor to watch and follow, but everytime he acts it's like a "I know the letter" pace, I mean, it's too even, there is no burst of -simulated- spontaneity like in Van/Luke's performing. The real thing, you see it in the interview. I don't pretend such a level of reality, but there you see Jake out of bonds. A little.
Hope we've got unrestristed Nuke again.
Nice to read you.
