At Hilda's wedding when he danced with his boyfriend, right after he had that touching conversation with his Aunt Betty, was so perfect.woodstockdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257804786232069087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-7953738294133541992011-10-11T18:53:13.541-04:002011-10-11T18:53:13.541-04:00Agree very much with woodstockdad about Hank Ellio...Agree very much with woodstockdad about Hank Elliot and Mark about the Luke and Lucinda scenes. My favorite/most memorable would have to be Luke. Luke Snyder was an incredible character - it was just such a shame that during the final months of ATWT Luke basically "disappeared". The show (read: Goutman) was not true to the character of Luke at all. What a waste of time and talent (for both Hansis and Jake Silbermann) those final months were!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659771509509165718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-46644364705497209322011-10-11T16:04:35.459-04:002011-10-11T16:04:35.459-04:00I loved Luke's coming out story on ATWT. It wa...I loved Luke's coming out story on ATWT. It was really well done. The scenes here with Holden and Lily are great, but my favorite scenes from that story line are probably these Luke and Lucinda scenes:<br /><br />Part 1: <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afshFX5uQDY<br /><br />Part 2: <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wED-wJsWAH0<br /><br /><br />I also really enjoyed the way "Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden" treated the subject with Lucas and Edwin. Lucas came back from New York and came out to his mother during his 5th appearance on the show. It was not a traditional coming out at all, but it was definitely a great moment:<br /><br />It happens at the end of this clip (3:33): <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM7EKRiCpuw<br /><br />It continues in the next episode:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rJzye06Tbo<br /><br /><br />Edwin's coming out was more traditional. The acting was great, IMO. Edwin was very closeted. He had feelings for Lucas, but started dating a girl (Wiet, one of Lucas' best friends). When Edwin finally admitted that he had feelings for Lucas, it didn't take a lot of time before he came out to his parents. He first told his mother.<br /><br />At the end of this clip (10:48):<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoOaQa5RRkQ<br /><br />His mother's reaction:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8QAUTVVvVE<br /><br />Edwin's mother Bianca accepts him right away. Later that day she decides to tell her husband Anton. She expects his reaction will be really bad and she's right. By telling him she hopes she can spare Edwin from a hateful first reaction. The next day Edwin wants to talk to his father, but Anton wants to wait until after the party (it's Anton's 50th birthday). During the party Anton is ignoring his son. This upsets Edwin. Edwin becomes even more upset and angry when his father asks him if Rikki isn't a nice girl for him. What follows is one of the strongest statements I've seen by a gay character on TV. The acting, direction, writing, music... Everything is perfect. The scene starts at 9:30:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPa5AZTr2_UMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150928865471105083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-60111097163240528242011-10-11T15:43:21.526-04:002011-10-11T15:43:21.526-04:00I like them all.

Showing a "life goes on" moment after he came out to Oakdale was, for it's time especially, very moving. <br /><br />Bianca coming out to Erica has to be the best, though. "Look at me!" Wow. And both Susan Lucci and Eden Riegel gave powerhouse performances.<br /><br />I remember Luke coming out and I was so surprised by Lily's reaction. I was thinking it would be HOLDEN who would have had the issues, being a farm boy and all LOL. <br /><br />Really . . . how can you choose? They were all good.woodstockdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257804786232069087noreply@blogger.com
