My maternal grandmother was a hard woman to live with. For me especially because he absolutely hated my dad.  Being his son, every time she laid eyes on me she saw him and I had to suffer for it.  She never saw anything good in anything or anyone, never saw joy or happiness or fun in any terms other then sinning.  I never saw her smile unless it was at someone else’s misery.

She loved her soap operas.  Even more then her radio preachers.  When I came home from school, one of them was reliably on the TV and it was an open question of my youth whether or not that was because they chased me out of the living room into my bedroom.  I hated those things.  I could never understand how someone could be entertained watching people being mean and cruel to one another.  Understand, this was in an age before reality TV.

Her two favorites were General Hospital and As The World Turns.  Swear to God to this day I can still hear that theme song from As The World Turns playing though my head whenever I think about soap operas.

So it is with pleasure…no…relish…that I read today that the young, cute, same sex couple on the current storyline of As The World Turns finally had sex…

Luke and Noah, Daytime’s Most Famous Gay Couple, Have Sex

The breakthrough scene on As the World Turns begins at about 3:03. Of course what we see is simply the before and after, but for a show that took seventh months and an extended internet campaign from fans for producers to have its two main characters share a kiss, the sex, or evidence of it, is a revelation.

Henry Seltzer writes, in The Daily Beast: “And you know the best part? The person responsible for getting them back together after the fallout from Luke kissing his step-grandfather was his grandmother, the show’s matriarch (played by Elizabeth Hubbard for the past 25 years), who was also the most understanding when Luke first came out. So not only is this not your grandmother’s soap, leave it to the grandmother-who-unwittingly-played-a-beard to get the boys back together. She even delights in sharing their post-sex ice cream sundae.”

Oh that’s so sweet!

Hey grandma…I just watched two cute boys having sex on your favorite soap opera while drinking tequila! Yes…I’m a stinking rotten good-for-nothing Garrett just like my Pap! And your favorite soap opera has homosexuals on it now! Just like me! Only cuter. It’s still a wicked, wicked world grandma. Cheers!
