Our intense love for Scott Evans and his Officer Fish storyline on One Life to Live is obvious (check out our current Dec/Jan issue on newsstands now!), but there are other notable gay storylines in the daytime realm, one of the most popular of which won't be around past 2010.
Sadly, for fans of As The World Turn's Luke and Noah (affectionately nicknamed “Nuke”), news of the soap's cancellation has reached our ears.
Seems that despite the delicious gay duo, ATWT could not pull in the viewership numbers necessary to stay on the afternoon airwaves. The show will take its last spin in September 10.

It's sad to see a show (and a genre) that was, for the most part, gay-friendly (mostly behind the scenes) whither away.
I'll miss "Nuke" and "CarJack" and "Molden" -- or whatever the hell you'd call Molly and Holden -- because their stories still take me back to a more innocent time.
