Readers' Choice: The Top 25 Gay TV Characters Revealed! by Michael Jensen, Editor November 29, 2007 http://www.afterelton.com/people/2007/11/top25gayTVcharacters #16 Noah Mayer (Jake Silbermann) As The World Turns Although he ranks a bit lower than his other half, Luke Snyder (Van Hansis) As the World Turns' newest gay character has certainly found his way into the hearts of gay and straight audiences alike. In fact, the chemistry generated by Noah Mayer (Jake Silbermann) and Luke has made the duo the most popular couple on the show and they were recently named as one of seven hottest pairings on all of daytime television. #6 Luke Snyder (Van Hansis) As The World Turns Luke is a unique case in that while his character has been around for years, he only became aware of his sexuality in his teens, taking millions of loyal viewers with him on his journey of self-discovery. Luke's coming out bonded him with his father and left him stronger and more confident in himself. When handsome newcomer Noah (Jake Silbermann) arrived in Oakdale, Luke was able to keep his level head when it became apparent that Noah had feelings for him. This being a soap opera, Noah first had to date Luke's best friend Maddie before finally coming out. Luke's common sense, genuine concern for others, and undeniable squeezability make him hard not to love, groundbreaking or no. And thanks to the considerable talents of actor Van Hansis, the hurdles faced by a gay teen coming to know himself have become accessible, mainstream drama. Now it just remains to be seen whether Luke will find himself in a traditional soap opera wedding. |
