Gaytime soap round-up: Luke & Noah prepare to move in together; Adam & Rafe caught kissing; Thom Bierdz and Michael Michael Muhney interviews

Love all the gay storylines going on in daytime television. You gotta credit As the World Turns and the Luke and Noah romance for paving the way for the current explosion even if their material has been a real snooze as of late but could perk up considerably now that they are moving in together.

Above are the latest scenes involving Luke (Van Hansis) and Noah (Jake Silbermann) and, we hope, this is the last of any mention of his pathetic father Col. Mayer. They have gone to that well way too many times and it is dry. The episode ends with Noah burning his father’s stuff and the movie he was making about him.

Now we move on to The Young and the Restless where Nikki react to seeing Adam and Rafe kissing. Pity that we didn’t get to see it. C’mon! Would you NOT show a male and female kissing in similar circumstances. The show owes us a few steamy kisses between these two!

Speaking of Adam, the fabulous Michael Muhney who has been a sensation since taking over the role, has given an interview to Advocate.com.  This guy just seems like a prince. Here is a little bit of the interview:

Testerday, Nikki saw Adam and Rafe together! Nobody believes Nikki when she is telling Victor and Ashley that Adam is gas-lighting Ashley. How do you feel about it being Nikki that caught them in the act? I think it’s perfect!
The way in which the fallout will occur will be fun, and of course, it’s going to cause some drama. And I agree with you, of all characters who would discover something like that, it’s going to be Nikki! It also lends itself to someone who, if they are going to pass something around that they saw something, it may look like it comes from a jaded perspective.

They don’t believe her now, anyway!
Exactly! That is what is so great about it. It gives Adam the leeway to run around a bit and not in a corner and trapped. I think for Adam, the idea is for him to say, “Never say die.” It’s advantageous that Nikki is the one who saw it, because in the future he can put her reliability into question.

Are you gay-friendly? Not homophobic?
No, I am not homophobic at all. If anything, I will flirt with a tree. [Laughs] To me, it’s fun. I grew up really admiring my mom’s dad, and in German it’s called opa, and that means “grandfather.” This man, you would sit down at a restaurant, and he would just love to be charming. He would flirt the pants off of anybody and enjoy that connection. So to me, if I have another person in the room and I have the opportunity to connect with them, as my character or myself, that’s great. I certainly have no walls with that and I don’t think an actor should if playing a part like this. I am glad I am the one playing the part. I don’t want to put any barriers up.
