I love, love, LOVE Luke and Brian scenes. The actors are both so strong, and they play off each other really well. This is one of the best Luke story lines of all.
I think Brian is such a sad character. I love that Laurence Lau is portraying him, he's such a good actor. Loved him since OLTL. Yay for actually being interested in the Nuke storyline again.
When Noah and Luke fight, it's like I'm a little kid overhearing my parents argue. Then, when they make up or are together, it's like "BEST LOVE STORY EVER."
Omg !!!! After what Jade said , I was freaking out ! I had to pause it to take a breather, I just couldn't take it lol ! It's a good thing I am alone lol
When Brian told Lucinda he kissed Luke I yelled at my laptop "Slap him! Slap him!!" I thought she was gonna do it. LOL! I was surprised Luke defended Brian to his mom; go figure. Thank you Andy! And Happy(belated) New Year! Now on to part 2...
Yeah 'friends' don't jumpily jerk their hands away from each other every time someone enters a room. Oh snap! way to break the news in a tactful way Jade!
"I think you should talk to your husband." That's like what he said to Maddie when Noah and Maddie were dating and Luke knew Noah was gay, "I think you should go talk to Noah."
Enjoy the next 100 parts with some very special and intense Nuke love moments (thanks to our wonderful boys - Van and Jake), because afterwards the writers went totally nuts and distorted Luke's and Noah's characters and their yearslong history only to throw them under the bus. I'm doing my 2nd round here after watching "Luke's story" (recommend to all of you, it's wonderful to see more of our cutie Luke/ Van's brilliant acting since his 1st day) and gonna enjoy every minute of Nuke together.
Really, it's kind of a thing with parents in general, at least on TV. 'You were being hit on by your Grandmother's new husband and - What? You were drinking and putting your life in danger?' But... yeah, I do have to admit, Noelle's Lily has from the day she started felt to me more like an aunt or older sister for Luke, not a mother. She just doesn't look like she should have a twenty year old son! I've come to like her performance, but she doesn't seem very 'motherly' to me.
the acting between lucinda and brian in these scenes and the ones that follow is really good. I also think that the Luke character really was attracted to Brian.
Wow- it's amazing that it all came out so "cleanly." I just hope Luke and Noah can work things out. Luke needs to control his jealousy and his drinking, and Noah needs to be more understanding and supportive.
I loved that reaction, it makes perfect sense from a mom. Luke had a serious drinking problem in high school and has a transplanted kidney that means alcohol could kill him. So his mom is thinking about her kid's life first, everything else second.
Actually I'm always picking on new Lily. I've tried to like her but I miss Martha. I do agree the dialogue did seem like something old Lily would have said, I just wish she were the one saying it.
The episode today was WAY so Perfect! Just when Jade tells about Brian ... I was like ... Stunned. I was like frozen then I started to laugh. Wow, you wait for this but never thought is come so quickly and in one episode. Usually soaps tend to go around a subject for way longer!
Love how Luke tried to wrap himself tight in his hoodie when Lily started questioning him. Made him look cute and vulnerable. Or maybe it was just cold out there. lol Anyway, I thought it would have taken a bit more for Jade to blurt out the punch line, but that girl obviously couldn't keep anything to herself. I am impressed with the great acting in the Lucinda/Brian and Lily/Luke scene. If only the rest of the show can be half as good.
There's the reason for Luke to kiss Brian:To save his closeted soul from going down the deep end.I know it cuts in the boys happiness but still,I like his character.
I love that they put Brian in normal, everyday clothing in these scenes - casual pants and shirt. It emphasizes that he's not an "old man" at all. He's written as being significantly younger than Lucinda, more like the age of Holden and Lily. And LOL Luke, it turns out that Noah *is* the kind of guy who "goes around punching people" as we see a year and half after this punch.
@jakeandnoah Luke will soon be there. After everything in the last year I think they learn there lesson and reunite for good.. . I mean even if Reid had lived it would have fizzled out in another month.
i have spent all day watching this show i am now addicted !!! I am so glad that jade opened her mouth and spilled the beans, when she tole lucinda off i was like OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another terrific episode. Van & Laurence were really great, they have a big chemistry (tough Van seems to have it with ALL the actors, that good he is); and I lament that Brian is supposed to leave the soap because he would be a very interesting character (A Luke's friend? A mature gay men coming out?) Thank you Andy for posting!
"Well at least I don't have a gay.husband." Welp, time to pause this and walk away because I can't bare to think of how ridiculously awkward this is going to get...
Will Horton-Guy Wilson-Chandler Massey Sonny Kiriakis-Freddie Smith Jackson Kiriakis-Freddie Smith Sami Brady-Alison Sweeney Austin Reed-Jeffrey Austin Peck
Haha. I always thought this was a reinvented version of the Luke/Noah/Maddie triangle too. Luke being Luke. Brian being the closeted gay person attracted to Luke (so... like Noah), and Lucinda being the "beard" or cover-up relationship who got screwed over and betrayed (like Maddie) in the end.
Jade is a fantastic character, always causing trouble in the best kind of way, and the look on Luke's face at 3:41 is utterly priceless. He's like "oh, no you didn't." I know they bent over backwards to try and make Brian sympathetic, but I always found him far more pathetic, and I was happy to see him outed.
If Brian wanted to make that revelation worse, he did it by phrasing it, "I made a pass at your grandson" instead of just "At Luke", because he's emphasising the poison on the knife.
Hell I could put a simple comment after every clip:Van is sweet ever so gorgeous and takes my breath away but this is one of those scenes I'd vote the mos.Lovely shaking and emotions he is portraying.
Aargh. This is so dramatic it's traumatising me. Love Luke trying to crawl into his own body at 6:45 by using his clothes.. Oh, and Van is awesome at acting.
6:19 'I made a pass at your Grandson.' Brian, do you even have any idea how bad that sounds? xD Her GrandSON! Jeezes Bri. I know Luke irritableness, but COME ON!
Oh a different note. Could someone post a short synopsis of the backstory regarding Jade. I mean, why is Lucinda on her case? Why is Lilly on her side? And what was her involvement with Luke in the past. Would help with understanding more of the dynamics going on. Thanks.
Jade has some real balls outing Brian in a room full of people like that. Brian's yelling made me stand up straight and stop laughing. Laurence Lau is such a good actor. I feel like Luke is talking to his aunt, new Lily you suck! LMAO right after Luke tells her that he kissed Brian and Noah hit him Lily says, "I can't believe this, why were you drinking Luke?" Did she not hear the rest of what he said?
I absolutely love Nuke and have been a fan ever since i watched their first kiss on youtube. But will the writers give them a break? Yes it's a soap and there should be problems and arguments, but this is insane. Luke and Noah never seem to be together for a long period of time and all they seem to do is fight. We soak up all the happy moments and kisses because they're so rare. If real relationships went this bad then they'd probably of ended by now. Just let Nuke be happy!
1-Another fight??......come on!! i'm SICK of this!!!why don't let Nuke be HAPPY??!!surely the writers NEVER enjoy the happiness in their relationships or his sexuality!! 2-'you didn't say anything' oh please you don't let him say anything!! 3-poor lucinda...i feel bad for her....'i kiss your grandson' that sounds horrible!
@acerflots Calm down. Deep breaths. Luke is head over heels for Noah. He doesn't like Brian as anything but a step-grandfather. He doesn't even like Brian as a step-grandfather much.
"My poor mother" I'm sorry, but I don't feel nearly as sorry for Lucinda as I do for Brian. Yes, poor Lucinda is hurt, and I do feel for her. But, Brian is terrified! Terrified of admitting to himself the strength of his feelings for a man.
Do people on soaps EVER learn from their mistakes. If I hear Luke say one more time - 'Yeah, I'm sorry, I really made a mistake'. Jeez, human beings don't do this over and over. Do they?
TELL IT JADE!!! I AM GLAD SOMEBODY HAD A BACKBONE AND SAID IT
When jade said at least I don't have a gay husband. Luke's face got me dead 🤣🤣🤣
Oh Luke, you hit the nail on the head. Brian's NOT a bad guy. He's a very good person. But sexually he is so confused and scared.
I love, love, LOVE Luke and Brian scenes. The actors are both so strong, and they play off each other really well. This is one of the best Luke story lines of all.
I think Brian is such a sad character. I love that Laurence Lau is portraying him, he's such a good actor. Loved him since OLTL. Yay for actually being interested in the Nuke storyline again.
Jade: At Least I Don't have a gay husband
Me: *pause immediately and starts screaming*
When Noah and Luke fight, it's like I'm a little kid overhearing my parents argue. Then, when they make up or are together, it's like "BEST LOVE STORY EVER."
Jade: well adleast i dont have a gay husband
Me: oo ..o...oooooooooooooooooooooooooo...she just bitch slapped her with words! ahahaha
Omg !!!! After what Jade said , I was freaking out ! I had to pause it to take a breather, I just couldn't take it lol ! It's a good thing I am alone lol
It wasn't a mugging,it was Noah.Luke has fallen for a dangerous man.:-))
turning your back when someone asks if youre hiding something doesnt help your case...DAAARLINGS!!!!
I love Luke's face!!! He was about to burst out laughing :D
Is anybody else freaking out right now?!
i wasnt....
When Brian told Lucinda he kissed Luke I yelled at my laptop "Slap him! Slap him!!" I thought she was gonna do it. LOL! I was surprised Luke defended Brian to his mom; go figure.
Thank you Andy! And Happy(belated) New Year! Now on to part 2...

the acting between lucinda and brian in these scenes and the ones that follow is really good.
I also think that the Luke character really was attracted to Brian.
Goddammit Jade!!
Although it is good when everything's out in the open. And I agree with Luke about Brian. The guy is just REALLY confused.
All I see in this whole story is that Brian needed to meet Luke otherwise he might have never had the courage or chance or push to come clean.
Wow, Jade's bad side is back in full force! It's nice to see compassionate Luke back. NuLily is improving, but will never be Martha Byrne.
Wow- it's amazing that it all came out so "cleanly." I just hope Luke and Noah can work things out. Luke needs to control his jealousy and his drinking, and Noah needs to be more understanding and supportive.
God I love Luke/Brian...they're so great together in their scenes.
Lukes little smile when jade said that :') omg hes beautiful XD
I love Jade -- always have. I'm glad she did put it out in the open.
I loved that reaction, it makes perfect sense from a mom. Luke had a serious drinking problem in high school and has a transplanted kidney that means alcohol could kill him. So his mom is thinking about her kid's life first, everything else second.

Wow, you wait for this but never thought is come so quickly and in one episode. Usually soaps tend to go around a subject for way longer!
Must be dreadful being kissed by Luke and not having him as a partner afterwards....
Love how Luke tried to wrap himself tight in his hoodie when Lily started questioning him. Made him look cute and vulnerable. Or maybe it was just cold out there. lol Anyway, I thought it would have taken a bit more for Jade to blurt out the punch line, but that girl obviously couldn't keep anything to herself.

There's the reason for Luke to kiss Brian:To save his closeted soul from going down the deep end.I know it cuts in the boys happiness but still,I like his character.
The look on Lukes face at Jades admission. It's "Yup. That's Jade. "
"Why don't you just COME RIGHT OUT...."
Couldn't have picked better wording, Lucinda.
"You want me to talk to him?"
Oh yeah Brian! The guy punched your face in but yeah you go talk to him!
I love that they put Brian in normal, everyday clothing in these scenes - casual pants and shirt. It emphasizes that he's not an "old man" at all. He's written as being significantly younger than Lucinda, more like the age of Holden and Lily.
And LOL Luke, it turns out that Noah *is* the kind of guy who "goes around punching people" as we see a year and half after this punch.
PABWECG Brian was really great,a bit like Reid totally supportive of luke not getting in his face with guilt dripping.
@jakeandnoahgreat points. I agree with you 100% on this.
@jakeandnoah Luke will soon be there. After everything in the last year I think they learn there lesson and reunite for good.. .
I mean even if Reid had lived it would have fizzled out in another month.
@@veronikahk1826 Reid was supportive as long as it was good for him. He didnt give a rip about what Luke wanted. They were exceedingly dull.
out of all the things, lily asks "why were you drinking?"
oh poor Lucinda "i thought it was too good to be true and it was"
i have spent all day watching this show i am now addicted !!! I am so glad that jade opened her mouth and spilled the beans, when she tole lucinda off i was like OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love the way luke looks quickly away at 2 29
this is awesum DRAMA!!!
Hahahahaha! Lol, I forgot Jade dropped this bomb 😄😅
Another terrific episode. Van & Laurence were really great, they have a big chemistry (tough Van seems to have it with ALL the actors, that good he is); and I lament that Brian is supposed to leave the soap because he would be a very interesting character (A Luke's friend? A mature gay men coming out?)
Thank you Andy for posting!
Lol I love they go from one drama to another drama but yet it all intertwined with one another
I don't blame Luke. Every person needs to be loved but he isn't getting that even from his BOYFRIEND!
"Well at least I don't have a gay.husband."
Welp, time to pause this and walk away because I can't bare to think of how ridiculously awkward this is going to get...
Thank you for being so fast all the time! x)
Woah,Brian is not wearing suit O.o
this is such a great character addition!
I love this freaky story line :D
best so far !
Thanks Andy,
oh man the tension!!
lukes face is priceless at that moment
Damn, Jade! She put Brian on blast to spite Lucinda! LOL! I kinda like this Jade, even though I love Elena in the role.
She couldn't see from anger.:-))Didn't think for one second that Lucinda is not the only one that might get upset.
When Luke does something wrong he always goes " I know, I know, I know"!!! Its so funny!
Noah is understanding and charming too. Luke needs to get a grip!

Luke being Luke. Brian being the closeted gay person attracted to Luke (so... like Noah), and Lucinda being the "beard" or cover-up relationship who got screwed over and betrayed (like Maddie) in the end.
Lily: My poor mother....
hahahaha, my tummy is killing me. Can't stop laughing.
"at least I don't have a gay husband!"
Wow, Jade. Throw that in everyone's face why don't you. God.
I was dying laughing when she said that and the look on Luke and Lily's face. Jade has no filter and I love it! LOL!
Jade is a fantastic character, always causing trouble in the best kind of way, and the look on Luke's face at 3:41 is utterly priceless. He's like "oh, no you didn't."
I know they bent over backwards to try and make Brian sympathetic, but I always found him far more pathetic, and I was happy to see him outed.
OMFG!!! I LOOOOOVE JADE for doing that!
omg i love lukes reaction when she says that! its priceless lmaoo
DO LUKE and Noah EVER sleep together and be happy, even if its only for 5 mins
If Brian wanted to make that revelation worse, he did it by phrasing it, "I made a pass at your grandson" instead of just "At Luke", because he's emphasising the poison on the knife.
Hell I could put a simple comment after every clip:Van is sweet ever so gorgeous and takes my breath away but this is one of those scenes I'd vote the mos.Lovely shaking and emotions he is portraying.
at long last everyone is honest with eachother
For all it worths mentioning Brian must have been in heaven kissed by luke.:-)
I just realised that Luke is always leaving 'to get some air.' LOL :P
7:40 Anyone else strangly excitable at the thought/talk of 'Grr angry jealous Noah' ? I think it's insanely Hawt. Maybe that's just me.
Jade: Well at least I don't have a gay. husband.
WWHHOOAAAAAAAA THAT WAS A MAJOR LOW BLOW
I think Noelle whoever playing Lily is awesome.
Luke seemed kinda happy when jade said the truff
Wow, Brian... he basically summed up the whole story in one awkward, AWKWARD line.
Wait a go Jade. Somebody had to start the ball rolling.
Words that should never be spoken and actions that should never be taken. "I made a pass at your grandson!"
Aargh. This is so dramatic it's traumatising me.
Love Luke trying to crawl into his own body at 6:45 by using his clothes.. Oh, and Van is awesome at acting.
I like it when Luke is Drunk!!!!!! lol
6:19 'I made a pass at your Grandson.' Brian, do you even have any idea how bad that sounds? xD Her GrandSON! Jeezes Bri. I know Luke irritableness, but COME ON!
Oh a different note. Could someone post a short synopsis of the backstory regarding Jade. I mean, why is Lucinda on her case? Why is Lilly on her side? And what was her involvement with Luke in the past.
Would help with understanding more of the dynamics going on.
Thanks.
Up for this.
Good god, my nerves... I don't think I can take much more.. But I cant stop watching. o-o
well, there is the fact that he's had that whole kidney issue and he's not supposed to be drinking at all - that's what almost killed him before.
what a sad new year for my luke and noah:(
i feel sad for brian. he was starting to grow on me. hes kinda sweet :D.
@zyle1972 Plus, Noah just leaves. Whenever Noah hurt Luke (like, with Ameera, the whole colonel thing,) Luke always fought to get him back. So....yeah
It does get a lot better!!! Stupid soap opera having to stretch out drama and depressing stuff especially with Luke and Noah :(
LUKE AND BRIAN SITTING IN A TREE
Jade has some real balls outing Brian in a room full of people like that.
Brian's yelling made me stand up straight and stop laughing. Laurence Lau is such a good actor.
I feel like Luke is talking to his aunt, new Lily you suck! LMAO right after Luke tells her that he kissed Brian and Noah hit him Lily says, "I can't believe this, why were you drinking Luke?" Did she not hear the rest of what he said?
The world as we know it has changed...
I absolutely love Nuke and have been a fan ever since i watched their first kiss on youtube. But will the writers give them a break?

We soak up all the happy moments and kisses because they're so rare. If real relationships went this bad then they'd probably of ended by now. Just let Nuke be happy!
I gotta be honest like Brian. hes the only one who can put Luke in his place and he always gets the last word when they argue.
Poor Brian! Look at his face! Jade, control your mouth! Choose your words carefully!
Lol. Luke tells his mom his step granddad kissed him and all she's worried about is her poor mother. O.o
Every time luke ismad or upset., he either goes for some air or he drinks!
WEIRD
1-Another fight??......come on!! i'm SICK of this!!!why don't let Nuke be HAPPY??!!surely the writers NEVER enjoy the happiness in their relationships or his sexuality!!
2-'you didn't say anything' oh please you don't let him say anything!!
3-poor lucinda...i feel bad for her....'i kiss your grandson' that sounds horrible!
Jeez Louise, Jade!! Someone could use a lesson in subtlety.
@acerflots Calm down. Deep breaths. Luke is head over heels for Noah. He doesn't like Brian as anything but a step-grandfather. He doesn't even like Brian as a step-grandfather much.
"My poor mother"
I'm sorry, but I don't feel nearly as sorry for Lucinda as I do for Brian. Yes, poor Lucinda is hurt, and I do feel for her.
But, Brian is terrified! Terrified of admitting to himself the strength of his feelings for a man.
Do people on soaps EVER learn from their mistakes. If I hear Luke say one more time - 'Yeah, I'm sorry, I really made a mistake'. Jeez, human beings don't do this over and over. Do they?
NOOOOOOO NONONONONONONO please ive got this terrible suspicion that luke is beginning to feel sth for brain, somebody relieve me
Thats totally true he has intense feelings of hatred for Brian.
