A Nuke Sighting

There was a Luke & Noah sighting today on As the World Turns, the first in over two weeks. Since we last saw the guys, Luke's little cousin Eliza has been kidnapped by her own father and today's Nuke scenes started off with the two of them at the Foundation office with Damian, discussing how they will be able to postpone their cruise for sick kids without losing any money.

Wait, what happened to the Dude Ranch? Continuity error, or should we just assume that Damian has a ship free now that he's no longer smuggling meds and inadvertent guns to Africa?

The guys talked about how they can't go on the cruise while Eliza is missing and Luke chastised Damian (though in a rather nice way, for Luke) for not letting the police know what was happening with Paul and baby Eliza earlier. Apparently Damian and Meg tried to stop Paul from kidnapping the baby on their own and it backfired.

Noah, bless him, sweetly pointed out the irony of Luke getting on someones case for going on their own instead of involving the police. I mean, after being gay and wearing striped shirts, going on his own and not involving the police is like the third biggest thing Luke is known for these days!

Luke didn't quite understand why Damian was even involved in this matter to begin with and Damian explained that Luke's family is his family, but really you know that it's all about getting it on with Meg at some point. I can't wait to see Holden's head explode when Damian hooks up with his sister!

After Luke left, Noah sympathized with Damian about the 'two steps forward, one step back' nature of his relationship with his son. Then, Noah had Another One of his Brilliant Ideas: they could film Meg making a direct appeal to Paul for their daughter's return and put it on UsTube. If the video went viral, it could be seen all over the world. Noah had to explain to Damian what viral meant in Internet terms (what, is he my Grandma?!), and then they rushed off to sell the idea to the rest of the family.

Meg agreed that it was worth a try and, with Noah directing and Luke standing by for support along with Damian and Lily, Meg made her plea.

That was pretty much it for Luke & Noah. The guys didn't have all that much to do, but it was definitely good to see them again (literally: they both looked fantastic!). I always complain about storyline bubbles and the lack of interaction between characters on this show, so I was glad to see Luke & Noah involved in something that was happening to another member of Luke's family.

By the way, if you're a fan of Jake Silbermann's, he's guest starring on a new Internet series called Studio. Check it out.
