Today was another Nuke day on As the World Turns and it started with Luke telling his Grandmother Lucinda about how badly Lily was taking the news of Holden's 'death'. Luke explained that Lily wouldn't get out of bed and that he'd spent the last hour trying to get her to talk or eat something.
Lucinda took over and told Luke to get out of the house for awhile, to get some fresh air and take some time for himself.
Over at Java, Mason arrived with some of the most unbelievable news that this show has ever tried to get us to swallow: Jude Law loves Noah's script! This news was accompanied by a bad pun on Law's last name that made me feel terribly sorry for Forbes March. To go from the current level of writing on One Life to Live to this... ouch!
Yes, so film star Jude Law was given a copy of a script written by a nobody film student from Oakdale, Illinois and he was so impressed that he wants a meeting. Having seen a few of the scenes from Noah's last film project, the documentary about his dad, I think Jude Law must have been under the influence of some pretty heavy drugs when he read that script!
I mean, I know that remake of Sleuth was God awful, but I didn't think Jude had fallen quite this far! Even if it's somehow a great script, it's still a student film, not a potential blockbuster.
One wonders how on Earth the writers decided on Jude Law to begin with. Did they put the names of a few different actors in a hat and draw one out? Or maybe Jean Passanante has a Jude Law poster on the wall of her office? This thing is obviously not going to end with a cameo by Jude himself, so why him? He's gorgeous and talented, sure, but he's not exactly the It guy of the moment, you know?
Anyway, Noah was completely blown away by the news but then Mason told him that the meeting was the very next day in L.A.. Noah explained about Holden's 'death' and said that he couldn't leave Luke at a time like this. Mason understood that Noah needed to stand by Luke, but he suggested that Noah tell Luke what was going on, that he should let his life partner know about this major thing that could change his life.
Noah said that he couldn't dump the decision of whether or not he should go on Luke at a time like this. That's about the time that Luke himself showed up at Java and, after Mason expressed his sympathies for Luke's loss, the Professor pointedly mentioned that Noah should tell Luke his news.
After Mason left and Luke had talked about the Lily situation a bit, he asked Noah what Mason had been talking about. Noah insisted it was nothing but Luke wouldn't let it go that easily. Noah finally told Luke that Jude Law had apparently fallen on some very hard times.
Luke wanted Noah to go meet with Jude, of course, and pointed out that the whole Snyder clan was gathering, so he'd have his family around him while Noah was gone. Noah was hurt and said that he thought he was part of Luke's family, and Luke soothed his feelings, saying that Noah was the most important person in his world and that's why he couldn't let him pass up this chance.
So, Noah is off to Hollywood to meet with Jude Law. No doubt Jude will soon be starring in Noah's student film and hanging out at Java. Sadly, since he's a straight male who isn't a Snyder, this means he'll also be sleeping with Meg by next week. Poor Jude.
The episode ended with a very much alive Holden tossing and turning in some random bed somewhere, unconscious. Did that surprise even one person? Don't worry, I'm sure when he wakes up he'll discover that he's at Matt Damon's place. He can pass on one of Luke's scripts and before you know it, Luke and Noah will be nominated against each other for Best Original Screenplay Oscars. Oh, the drama!
