 ATWT: How far will Luke and Noah go? ATWT garnered alot of attention when it launched its first gay male love story this year, but Luke and Noah fans cried foul when the romance screeched to a halt after an accident left the Snyder's son paralyzed from the waist down. Has the show gotten cold feet, or will things for the couple heat up once again now that Luke seems to be regaining the use of his legs? The In Depth Story: We're very excited about the popularity of the story and the support and enthusiasm of the viewers," Says HW JP. " But I don't think that fact has influenced how we tell the story more than any other story we've told. It was always intended to be played as a young love story in the context of the Snyder family." Temporary paralysis--Emphasis on the temporary-- is as much a daytime staple as long-lost relatives and returning from the dead, so fans shouldn't read to much into it. In fact, Van Hansis (Luke) doubts that his alter ego will ever enjoy too much happiness, although that has more to do with the genre than his character's sexuality. Is anybody ever happy on a soap? He chuckles. "Not really. And if they are its delusional thing, Because then somebody will come to the door and they'll think it's like, the priest who's going to marry them, and it's really a long lost brother who wants to kill them. So soaps don't thrive on happiness. I would expect more turmoil than blue skies"
