ATWT recap: Casey gives dose of reality to Luke, Noah and annoying Ameera...

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,atwt21.jpg It's almost as if Casey was speaking for the audience when annoying Ameera said to him: "I know that Noah loves Luke but it doesn't change the fact that I'm married to him. I'm his wife."

Uh, Earth to annoying Ameera...come in annoying Ameera.

Casey: "You gotta be real about those two. You're a nice girl, I don't want you to get hurt...(It's) not gonna happen, that's all I'm trying to say...He's with guys! And that's not going to change because of some piece of paper. No offense but if you have ideas that you're turning Noah straight, that's not how it works no matter how much you want it to."

Ameera glares at him, tells him to mind his own business and later tells him to leave. Casey tells the trio that their sham to keep Ameera in the US "is stupid and pointless and you're gonna get caught. ...How long do the three of you think you're gonna pull this off?"

On the way out, Casey sets an in denial Luke straight, so to speak: "I quit you Luke!" (The two had been pretending to be a gay couple to throw immigration off the track) "(Ameera) is in love with her gay husband who happens to be your boyfriend! Wake up Luke!"

The light bulb finally goes off in Luke's head and he has a talk with clueless Noah about it saying that Ameera is getting a little too into the husband and wife thing: "She kissed you Noah! Was that in the script. She did it because she wanted to."

At least Noah is kissing someone! Because he sure as heck isn't kissing Luke, dammit.

Noah assures Luke that "it doesn't matter. Even if Casey's right, I don't feel that way about her...I'm with you...I am...and she knows that."

Previews show Ameera AGAIN kissing Noah. The show is really testing us and insulting us and daring us to just give up on it. Maybe we will someday soon, maybe we will.

Comments

Ok, Noah and Luke had enough kisses on the Valentine Special... Oh, wait, they didn't. Ok, they had enough kisses before and after that... Oh, wait, they didn't, not even an accidental pick. So... the thing they came upon was not one... but two kisses. What a reward! But wait... those were two kisses with Ameera!
Sorry to say so, but they managed to destroy the story in an overly homophobic way. They didn't "imply" the kisses with Ameera. They just shoot the smooches on our very faces. And make no mistake. This was very, very, very on purpose. They knew they were pissing the gays off the show, they didn't want us claiming for what they weren't to give us.
I pity the actors. But for me, there is nothing left on the soap to care about.
GLAAD, next time don't be so fast. The organization is confusing just a cheap bate with equality. There was nothing like that lately. Just the sense that we were used in cheap way.
