AfterElton: Boy, if there was ever proof that there was a double-standard for how gay characters are treated on television, the handling of Luke and Noah on AS THE WORLD TURNS is it. Yes, we're talking primetime versus daytime, and, yes, I frequently defend the show, but the fact that CBS/Procter & Gamble has refused to show Nuke kissing for six months proves that putting gay characters on television can still be plenty controversial.
Channel 4 News: HOLLYOAKS' Chris Fountain has played down his 'favourite' status ahead of DANCING ON ICE's final on Sunday. "I think I've tried some really difficult stuff and I don't feel like I've pushed myself less than anybody else.

Willamette Week,: Where Are They Now: Former AS THE WORLD TURNS child actor Richard Thomas (ex-Tom) is currently starring in Scott Ellis' production of Twelve Angry Men. To give you some idea of his role—the lead—Juror #8 begins as a lone dissenting voice, who claims to vote "not guilty" only because he doesn’t believe in executing someone without a discussion. But somehow, over the course of the play’s one act, he reasons, baits, and cajoles his comrades into a unanimous "not guilty" verdict. To sell a character like that, you need to fly under the radar. You need to make your points obliquely and refuse the limelight, all the while appearing to be just another guy, nonthreateningly macho and coolly nonchalant. No self-righteous whiner is ever going to convince a roomful of his peers to change their minds, but that’s exactly how Richard Thomas plays it. He delivers his lines with the maudlin quaver of a made-for-TV martyr, and it falls flat.
