It's another busy week for Luke and Noah and you can find them Monday - Wednesday on ATWT.  The big twist this week?  Luke and Brian finds themselves living together.  No joke.  Here's how it all goes down.   Luke tells Noah about Brian kissing him... but Noah doesn't believe it.  And naturally Luke is hurt that his former boyfriend has no faith in him.  If that weren't bad enough, Luke moves back into the Lily-pad with his family and is shocked to find out that Lucinda and Brian have also moved in.  Brian's close proximity disturbs young Mr. Snyder.  Luke goes on another bender... and naturally he runs into Brian.  Brian gives the blotto gay teen the key to his hotel room at the Lakeview so Luke can sleep it off.  Once there, Luke finds a mysterious letter from Brian's ex-wife, Carolyn.  This sends Luke off on a mission to meet the former Mrs. Wheatley.

Nosy Luke

Spicy. Well, sort of. Luke should let her grandma have her dream marriage with Brian, and let her judge by herself if he suits her or not. Remember that Brian signed a prenup so there is no money scam at sight.

ATWT is not very fond of the bisexual people –they make them declare one thing or the other- so Brian has to be gay, according to Luke. But Luke should care more in having his sexuality and love –and alcoholism- resolved before playing the detective.

Are we saying good bye to Noah? He is behaving in such a disappointing way, but lets see.

Seriously?

Lucinda living at the Syder farm? During her honeymoon period yet? Lucinda? Will she up to milk the cows and churn the butter too?

Looks like Luke

is flying sols these days. Maybe permanently??? Luke and Noah have had very few if any pleasant encounters of late. Ya start to wonder if TIIC are going to split these two up for good and have Luke in a storyline perhaps involving Jade,Maddie and any other newbie they can find. Noah has been written in such a strident manner to keep these two part it even defies soap opera logic which isn't saying much.

No......

I don't think this is a permanant split between Luke and Noah, no more than any split between Lily and Holden has ever been.   I use that as example because Noah is being Holden at his worst and Luke is being Lily at her worst, complete with the dependance on chemical substances.  Noah is being a total jerk (but he's really not being written out of character IMO -- and neither is Holden when he gets this way) because Luke has to be isolated and alone for the inevitable to happen.  Then Noah will feel a few twinges of guilt and come running to help Luke out of the major crisis that is bound to spring from this storyline.   Just like Holden has always done with Lily.

I see..

your point. It's a good comparison. Noah and Holden can be a little self-righteous sometimes.

Now, let me guess --

The former Mrs. Wheatley is Diane Von Furstenberg. Right?

Where is it going?

This makes a little more sense

Lucy moving into the Lilypad on some pretense by the writers makes a little more sense (post-op care, perhaps?), although the Lakeview or an extended European honeymoon makes the most sense.

And Luke moving back to the Lilypad just when he would want the least amount of supervision (hard to drink yourself into oblivion when your parents and three younger siblings are underfoot) makes no sense at all.  The writers really have given up any attempt at logic, haven't they?

I don't watch

So I didn't know that the family, sans Luke, had united at the Lily pad.

What you said made me think, how cool would it be if Luke, instead of going back home, made ammends with Kevin? The frat boy: they like to party. And to patch the fence Kevin gives Luke a room in the basement, where he can booze it up and play bartender to the frat.So, they are the one's who have to take him to the hospital when his kidney fails.

What makes the most sense

Is for Luke to get his own damned place.  He only stayed on with his family because first Lily and then Holden needed him (and then he got paralyzed, etc.).  Lily and Holden are back together and should be fine for another month or two (has anyone ever counted up how long they have actually been together over the last 20 years without one of them cheating or marrying someone else or getting amnesia?).

Luke is old enough and wealthy enough to have his own place.  It's just that the writers are far too reliant on all the convenient plot devices that occur from his living with family.  Lazy pigs!

One more thing--I've seen it stated in several places that Noah is a year older than Luke.  I really don't remember that.  He was brought in to WOAK as an intern just before Luke and Maddie's first year of college, but I thought that was just to build his resume so he could get into Northwestern (remember, the boy's not all that bright).  Can someone state with certainty that he completed a year of college before coming to Oakdale?

The Living Situation..

..... is part plot device and part the fact that the show just can't afford the sets they used to.  That's why you have half the cast living at the Lakeview, which makes no sense since they should all have apartments or homes of their own.  The other half was living at the farm until recently.  Since Luke is now moving out, Emma finally has the place all to herself!

In terms of Noah, I believe he had been accepted to NW, but just needed the money.  After Col. Mayer refused to pay, Noah decided to stay in Oakdale and attend the cheaper Oakdale U.  How Noah paid for it is a mystery since Noah (until recently) has never had a job.  Most of the time he's been in Oakdale he was either living at the farm or at the cottage (when he was married to Ameera) and the Snyders were footing the bill.  But if he'd been to college or what he did or even where he lived before he came to Oakdale I don't think has ever been answered.  But a lot of Noah's life PL (pre-Luke) is a mystery.  

I think Noah's being a year older than Luke was established or possibly implied when Dusty and Lily were investigating Cheri's murder.   Dusty and Lily found out Cheri had a son.  The kids' year of birth was mentioned on screen, IIRC and Lily said something to effect of 'that's a little older than Luke'.  I could be remembeing it incorrectly though.  But I think that's how we were led to believe Noah was about a year older.  And unless Luke has been aged a bit, he's 18 because I believe it was said he was 16 when he came out 2 years ago.

Noah's age

Noah's. age has never been specifically stated. Thanks, I missed the part where Lily mentions that Noah is older than Luke. But Noah attended a year of college before coming to Oakdale; he had recently moved from Branson, Missouri, (and Fort Leonard Wood,) where he was attending university and working as a theater manager.

According to my records, Luke had his unceremonious 18th birthday last May.
