As the World Turns's ban on gay kissing was
apparently lifted Wednesday as characters Luke
and Noah shared their first on-screen kiss after seven
months of chastity.
As the World Turns's ban on gay kissing was
apparently lifted Wednesday as characters Luke
and Noah shared their first on-screen kiss after seven
months of chastity.
After two
passionate on-screen kisses last fall, the couple lovingly
referred to by fans as "Nuke" suddenly stopped displaying
their affection toward one another. Jeannie
Tharrington, the producer's spokeswoman, told The
Advocate, "To be frank, a lot of people weren't
expecting that first kiss. We got a lot of letters -- not
from activists but from regular fans who said, 'We're
not ready for this.'"
Shortly after the
abrupt end to their sensuous kisses, however, fans and
activists mailed in bags of Hershey's kisses to CBS's studio
offices in Los Angeles in protest. After letters
protesting both the kisses and their absence, April 23
marked the day the passion returned.
A clip of the
scene featuring the return of the Nuke kiss can be found on
MrSardonic.com, an Advocate.com blog. (The Advocate)
