SOW is also reporting that from this point forward Luke and Noah's expressions of intimacy will no longer be left out of storyline breakdowns, which is the way it has been in the past. According to the article, they'll be treated, in terms of physical affection, just like any other couple on the show. The article says they'll be kissing on May 19th (though SOD reports it happens on May 20th) and it'll be the first of many to come. Says Silbermann: "Because of all they are going through and all the drama they are dealing with it may not be the most passionate thing, but whatever affection the feel for one another always comes from a genuine place."
If this is true, I will be the happiest girl alive. Now all we need is for them to get more than an episode a week.
