GLAAD Blog Mentions Luke/Noah Campaign

Today’s entry of GLAAD Blog mentions Luke/Noah and a fan campaign for a movie about the couple!

When talking about LGBT representation in soaps, no one can forget As the World Turns’ Luke and Noah. The couple had a rocky start as one of them had difficulties coming to terms with his sexual orientation while the other had been hurt too many times before. After they kiss, in what was daytime’s first-ever kiss between two gay characters, the two finally start dating. They realized they really cared for each other after Noah’s dad tried to shoot Luke. Their storyline quickly became a fan favorite. Eventually the two split, Noah was left heartbroken and Luke found love again with a neurosurgeon, but his happiness ended abruptly with the death of his new boyfriend in a train accident. The ‘Nuke’ storyline came to an end as ATWT was cancelled, and while most of the other characters found a happy ending, that wasn’t the case for daytime’s gay super-couple. Fans are now trying to revive their storyline with an online campaign to develop a film around Luke and Noah.

13 Soap Operas We’ve Loved, Lost

Entertainment Weekly has posted a list of thirteen cancelled soap operas in honor of All My Children and One Life to Live which were both canceled today. As the World Turns‘ entry includes a bit about (and a photo of) Luke and Noah!

When its final episode aired on Sept. 17, 2010, ATWT was the longest-running soap opera still on television. The show, the first-ever 30-minute TV soap, had milestones aplenty during its run, from Walter Cronkite interrupting in 1963 to announce that President Kennedy had been shot to the first gay character on daytime in 1988. And folks in the fictional town of Oakdale certainly had no shortage of drama, with villains like James Stenbeck and Barbara Ryan and supercouples from Lily and Holden to Luke and Noah (Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann, pictured), whose kiss caused a furor a few years ago. The news has knocked fans for a loop but not the earth off its axis, because…you know…the world just keeps on turning.

See the full list here!
