You know, the Colonel doesn't have the excuse that most unsupportive, controlling parents have of not understanding their children. Because he understands Noah perfectly. He can anticipate what Noah wants, and had an intuitive grasp that Noah was gay. But despite knowing his son so well, he's still trying to force him into something else, and I think that's the greatest tragedy here.
Oh... Luke can talk with his mom, Maddie can talk with her (cute) big brother, but how about Noah? This is about his coming out story, he needs help still he is alone...
+Miyuki KS Well, in case you didn't notice Luke was the one who supported Noah all along by urging him to face the truth instead of lying to the whole world AND to himself, which was not at all "selfish" on Luke's part (although he has the right to be selfish just like everyone else), but just the natural reaction by a self-confident and self-respecting person to what had happened and exactly what was needed in that situation. Luke was the biggest help anyone struggling with his coming out could ever hope for - by just being himself! That's what Noah will tell him later on, too.
One of the most perfect lines/perfectly delivered as well: "I've liked other guys, but ive never really had anyone feel that way for me." for a gay guy, i think this is really what potentially makes the first true crush/love interest. anything else is "like shopping for cakes in a hardware store"
I didn't watch ATWT when it was still on, but I have been watching the Luke/Noah story and it is amazing. I cannot believe ATWT was cancelled. These characters are smartly written and the actors are great. I love the sense of family abd friendship that comes through in this storyline.
The colonel is so creepy. Such a good actor. When he smiles he looks so kind and then a minute after he loses the smile and looks like he will kill you.
Luke's mom has come a long, long way since the days of "I don't know how to be your mother anymore". It's cool to see her be so understanding and supportive.
I watched all 300+ videos of this storyline several months ago, but I decided to go back and watch Noah's coming out process again tonight...what a trip down memory lane! When I got to this episode, I suddenly realized how much I truly miss Martha Byrne (Lily, Luke's mom). She was incredible.
When dear old dad says, swear you will change, he always knew what the problem was but he just can't accept it. It makes me feel so sad for Noah, the look in his eyes when he says, what if I can't? The battle that is so big for him! Just wanna give him such a big hug :-)
Noah's dad looked furious and suspecting when Noah said what if he can't change. That line and his dads face... Heh, you know what his dad was thinking.
Every bit of the scene btw Maddie and Noah is perfection. I can't get over how compassionate and understanding she can be in the face of being hurt SO badly. That said, she doesn't let anyone walk over her and she tells Noah exactly what he needs to hear with no BS. I love Maddie.
This storyline is actually the best. Even though they're not kissing, I see the sexual tension between Nuke. And that's good! I could watch this all over again.
True, but it was Damian who pushed for it and manipulated Lily into thinking she should do it. She always seemed hesitant to do it, but he convinced her. But you're right, Lily has come a long way, and will now defend Luke to any critics. She's always been a Momma-Bear when it comes to her children.
I'm fucking addiction. Have seen these sections type a thousand times, but love them and never stop looking. They give me so much strength and I can write over a hundred stories about Luke and Noah. Just because they changed my life, I am dependent *lol* NEVER stop upload these clips, you alter everyone's lives with your loyalty and strength. Thanks again. You are worth gold. Peace and Love//Kim
It's 3am in the morning, I am sitting in the dark, and I am so scared right now that Noah's Dad is gonna jump out and give me that glare he gave Noah at the end there...
Wow...wow....wow!!! If looks could kill, Noah's dad would be indicted for manslaughter. Be strong , Noah! For the first time in your life, be a man and stand your ground!
i love how mattie's not naiive soap opera melodramatic. she can pick up on obvious tension like any person with c0mmon sense. shes tough, not glass, hurt but not cold or broken. but she was trippin'when switched colleges for a boy.
Love Luke and Noah but I love Maddie too! She’s so great! And Martha Byrne as Lily is fantastic. The way she was treated by Chris Goutman was shameful! And what can we say about Henry? Perfection!
Apparently, something happened between Martha Byrne and Goutman. Something she won't even talk about. Her leaving Apparently went beyond contract negotiations. He should have moved mountains to keep her. Another in a montage of things that drove the show down. Letting Martha go. Hiring Kreizman after Guiding Light was canceled. Not putting Luke and Noah on more when ratings were still good. The last 9 months of the show... once the cancelation was announced, they just kept the stories they were gonna do anyway instead of changing direction to lead to a finale. They stretched 3 months of stuff out to nine... and really messed up everything.
You know what? I really really really like Maddie. Its not her fault Noah's gay. Its not her fault she was his beard. I like her character and i'm really glad she stood up for herself.
OMG this is getting so exciting I can hardy stand it!!!!!! Thanks for posting these so I can see them as I must hold down a job all god damn day!!!@!!!!!!!
I know exactly how Luke feels, and I know how Noah feels. It's very touching, I really like this show even though it sometimes seems jerky and and flowing easily, especially in the beginning. seemed like some things were left out or they didn't transition well.
its all thanks to DAD Noah splendid job at keeping his trap shut and being unable to control his military emotions yay and aww Maddi took that sh*t like a champ.
I never hated Maddies character (until later in the future, you'll find out why) and in this I HAD to just love her. Never once did she diss Noah for having feelings for Luke or did she blame Luke for telling her. She was mad at Noah because he used her and then feels bad about telling him that. She has every right to be mad, but Noah does have reason, not really good, but its slightly understandable with his father and all.
watching back through all of this, there are many references in between the lines by Noah (and his dad) about Noah's past (like here, he says "ok, you know what, you don't know everything about me")I wonder if there's some bad stuff that's bound to eventually become part of the story. Maybe stuff bad enough to change his character (or get rid of him...I hope not). I'm always wondering why Noah's character is so controlled and perfect on the outside, yet still unknown in many ways.
Colonel Sanders and Noah both know exactly what Noah was talking about, LOL. That means a big showdown and excommunication. After his dad has written Noah off, I wonder if he'll hook up with Luke any faster? Seriously, now that the John Paul & Craig storyline is ending we're really going to need this storyline to pick up the pace.
oh damn maddie, she really impressed me with the line "im not going to be your proof that you're a man" cuz right after that line i was like oh no bitch, only straight guys are men!?!? then she followed up with "because you already are" and that was like aaah yeah son she gets it
"I've never had anyone feel that way for me Mom." If I were Lily I'd turn into a big sobbing mess after that. Hope she'll give the col. a thing or two for threatening Luke.
i know. i was a little confused by that one (i'm just assuming that there were other crushes but nothing as serious as kevin but who knows. the writers seem to do that a lot. :S)
Lol, I wanted Maddie to punch Noah in the face! She feels so bad about all the things she says, and yet he deserves every one of them. She is so sweet, and so kind, and such a great person. I love Nuke, but I really, really wish Maddie didn't have to get hurt for them to be together.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Maddie is a gift. She's awesome. Love her!
9 yrs later 100% agree she’s handling herself and the situation with grace and dignity
"Buy her flowers, beg for forgiveness SWEAR you will change," Yes, Col. Mayer, because that's ~exactly~ how relationships work.
You know, the Colonel doesn't have the excuse that most unsupportive, controlling parents have of not understanding their children. Because he understands Noah perfectly. He can anticipate what Noah wants, and had an intuitive grasp that Noah was gay. But despite knowing his son so well, he's still trying to force him into something else, and I think that's the greatest tragedy here.
i love when she says "had things to do, breaking up with Noah" so casually xD
Oh... Luke can talk with his mom, Maddie can talk with her (cute) big brother, but how about Noah? This is about his coming out story, he needs help still he is alone...
+Miyuki KS Well, in case you didn't notice Luke was the one who supported Noah all along by urging him to face the truth instead of lying to the whole world AND to himself, which was not at all "selfish" on Luke's part (although he has the right to be selfish just like everyone else), but just the natural reaction by a self-confident and self-respecting person to what had happened and exactly what was needed in that situation.

Here's another good one...

"Maddie and I broke up"
"No, you didn't"
"Excuse me?"
Noah's reaction was the same as mine! LOL
"Dad, Maddy and I... We broke up."
"No, you didn't."
My reaction was exactly the same as Noah's.
I watched all 300+ videos of this storyline several months ago, but I decided to go back and watch Noah's coming out process again tonight...what a trip down memory lane! When I got to this episode, I suddenly realized how much I truly miss Martha Byrne (Lily, Luke's mom). She was incredible.
I'm obsessed with Luke's mom... Can she just be my mom?! PLEASE.
Wow, that scene between Lily and Luke was really good!
Kudos to Maddie for having at least enough self-esteem to not go running back to Noah, and for picking up the clue-phone.
When dear old dad says, swear you will change, he always knew what the problem was but he just can't accept it.
It makes me feel so sad for Noah, the look in his eyes when he says, what if I can't?
The battle that is so big for him!
Just wanna give him such a big hug :-)
Am I the only one who loves Henry's sense of style? I mean its amazing!
I love what Maddie says there: "You already are a man Noah, not just the one he wants you to be"
Noah's dad looked furious and suspecting when Noah said what if he can't change. That line and his dads face... Heh, you know what his dad was thinking.
Every bit of the scene btw Maddie and Noah is perfection. I can't get over how compassionate and understanding she can be in the face of being hurt SO badly. That said, she doesn't let anyone walk over her and she tells Noah exactly what he needs to hear with no BS. I love Maddie.
Poor Noah, running every thought through his "What will my Dad think" filter.
This storyline is actually the best. Even though they're not kissing, I see the sexual tension between Nuke. And that's good! I could watch this all over again.
Aww. I love Maddie now! I am so proud of her in this episode!!
Luke's mum tried to send him to a "get rid of the gay" resort earlier on, so she wasn't always this cool
True, but it was Damian who pushed for it and manipulated Lily into thinking she should do it. She always seemed hesitant to do it, but he convinced her. But you're right, Lily has come a long way, and will now defend Luke to any critics. She's always been a Momma-Bear when it comes to her children.
I love Luke's line at 1:56 when he says "I've never had anyone feel that way for me".
Maddie ate this up
I'm fucking addiction. Have seen these sections type a thousand times, but love them and never stop looking. They give me so much strength and I can write over a hundred stories about Luke and Noah. Just because they changed my life, I am dependent *lol*
NEVER stop upload these clips, you alter everyone's lives with your loyalty and strength. Thanks again. You are worth gold.
Peace and Love//Kim
Yay for Noah getting a backbone... well the beginnings of a backbone :) God, I'm soooo addicted to this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The music at the end when he says "what if I can't?" and the look on the colonel's face is priceless.
wow, every episode just leaves me hanging, how could ever stop watching?
It's 3am in the morning, I am sitting in the dark, and I am so scared right now that Noah's Dad is gonna jump out and give me that glare he gave Noah at the end there...
did anyone else's heart die when luke said "i've never had anyone feel that way about me"?
Wow...wow....wow!!! If looks could kill, Noah's dad would be indicted for manslaughter. Be strong , Noah! For the first time in your life, be a man and stand your ground!
Noah: "Look, Dad, Maddie and I... we... we bro..we broke up!"
*Colonels faces freezes*
Colonel: "No. You didn't."
DRAMA, BABY!! xD
i love how mattie's not naiive soap opera melodramatic. she can pick up on obvious tension like any person with c0mmon sense. shes tough, not glass, hurt but not cold or broken. but she was trippin'when switched colleges for a boy.

Uuuuhhh that creapy look on colonel's face just freaked me up! RUN NoAH!! :0
You know what? I really really really like Maddie. Its not her fault Noah's gay. Its not her fault she was his beard. I like her character and i'm really glad she stood up for herself.
My god, if looks could kill... the colonel looks like he's trying to force choke his son.
OMG this is getting so exciting I can hardy stand it!!!!!! Thanks for posting these so I can see them as I must hold down a job all god damn day!!!@!!!!!!!
"No you didn't." Excuse me?!
I love the relationship between Maddie and Henry. They are two characters that I will miss desperately.
Poor Noah! Torn between what he wants and what his dad wants. He hurts the ones he loves the most because of this
well now he's saying it's hard for Noah but actually he was not that comprehensive i mean he pressed him
I started in episode 1 now im in 57... just great! :)
the dad's ridiculous
"no you didnt"
"i said no"
LOL!!
AH! i like where this is going :D
I know exactly how Luke feels, and I know how Noah feels. It's very touching, I really like this show even though it sometimes seems jerky and and flowing easily, especially in the beginning. seemed like some things were left out or they didn't transition well.
Noah is in love with luke ❤ falling in love 💙💜♥️😍🥰😘
At the end I was kinda freaked out because I thought he was going to pull out one of his guns and shoot him or something. The Col scares me..
agreed...Henry has great style, great character, great actor.
I'm so f*****g hooked!!
its all thanks to DAD Noah splendid job at keeping his trap shut and being unable to control his military emotions yay and aww Maddi took that sh*t like a champ.

She has every right to be mad, but Noah does have reason, not really good, but its slightly understandable with his father and all.
After he said I can't I was seriously scared for his life for a second his dad looked so mad!

THe actor who played noah's dad did an amazing job with his character that we Nuke fans loved to hate him
How cool is Lily being here? I LOVE HER! Martha Byrne is so great!
Colonel Sanders and Noah both know exactly what Noah was talking about, LOL. That means a big showdown and excommunication. After his dad has written Noah off, I wonder if he'll hook up with Luke any faster? Seriously, now that the John Paul & Craig storyline is ending we're really going to need this storyline to pick up the pace.
God i love this Lily
"i don't wanna" -Maddie
BEST LINE EVAR
I also like the line where she says "I may not have much self esteem, but I'm not gonna be your proof that you're a man."
Im with you, my scandinavian fellow xD here in Denmark, dont have this show either... poor us :o
oh damn maddie, she really impressed me with the line "im not going to be your proof that you're a man" cuz right after that line i was like oh no bitch, only straight guys are men!?!? then she followed up with "because you already are" and that was like aaah yeah son she gets it
I CAN'T STOP WATCHING XD
Noah: "Me and Maddie broke up."
Col: "No you didn't."
Well damn, I could swear that it takes the two in the relationship to make that decision.
I heard that Casey could be returning soon. :) So I don't think
Maddie will be lonely for long.
well that's good,unlike some soaps where the characters wear the same outfits for the shows' entire running...theyre like the immortal version of '24'
This almost made me cry
I love the "theme" for Luke and Noah
like at 1:33
I wish they still played that.
It didn't used to be like that, though. When it was just Luke's Story, it took his mom a while to finally accept that he was gay after he came out.
it's not just a mess...it's a freakin HOT mess lol
Luke is not like everybody else. He always put Noah first.
"I am not going to be your proof that you are a man"!! Damn, she owned him! Girrrrl please!
It's Coronel in my country
After Noah said "I can't" the dad's facial expression basically said "Bitch, I'ma fuck you up" :P
"I've never had anyone feel that way for me Mom." If I were Lily I'd turn into a big sobbing mess after that. Hope she'll give the col. a thing or two for threatening Luke.
Henry is an amazing brother :)
I miss the old Lily so much, the new one blows.
Ooooooh, I LOVE Luke´s mom...I WANT mom like that.
@kurtsbyotch She really did nail him to the wall with that speech. Amen sistah! TESTIFY!
I wanted wicked daddy to say: Oh no, you dinn't!
Noah's dad...what a control freak!
I didn't like the new Lily at first but, she is growing on me. But, I heart them both. :)
Even though they fight constantly, I still can't help wishing Luke and Noah would become a couple -3
I just want to wrap Luke up in a blanket and sing him to sleep. Or put him in my pocket.
Ha ha - the look on her face at 2:13. She's got this look of semi-death.
i know. i was a little confused by that one (i'm just assuming that there were other crushes but nothing as serious as kevin but who knows. the writers seem to do that a lot. :S)
Lmao Noah looks like Ross from Friends
OMG... at the end i thought I smell blood eager . >
No cookies?
she was lily for me too
but you have to agree noelle is doning it pretty good
*sniffle* I miss Martha. She was Lily for me.
Lol, I wanted Maddie to punch Noah in the face!
She feels so bad about all the things she says, and yet he deserves every one of them. She is so sweet, and so kind, and such a great person. I love Nuke, but I really, really wish Maddie didn't have to get hurt for them to be together.
Luke talking about the colonel: "Not exactly easy going." hahaha understatement of the century.
Let's not pretend that the only reason luke outed Noah was for his own selfish reasons. And MAddie seems surprisingly calm.
OMG i'm so afraid to watch the next part, the colonel is gonna kill noah by the look of his face. *rushes over to next ep*
this guy's crazy. whats kind of father like him.
and this is my first time. hi to everyone!
damn Noah's dad has a seriously evil face XC
Of course that was a casual visit from Noah,that was again a very hot opportunity to kiss Luke accidentaly.:-)
Noah's dad is really scary
maddie is just awesome
