Forget About Obama, This is the First Gay Couple in Day Time Television!

Popular super couple Noah Mayer (played by Jake Silbermann, above right) and Luke Synder (played by Van Hansis, above center) finally did the nasty on the conservative P&G soap opera, As The World Turns. This is certainly the most hotly anticipated sex scene in recent daytime-TV memory.

Having first kissed on August 17, 2007, "Nuke" rode a wavy of popularity as the first male couple on soaps. Immediately thereafter, however, an unofficial kissing ban was put into effect regarding any sexual contact involving the chaste couple.

We know they're never going to market it heavily, but we're so glad Luke and Noah sealed the deal regardless of P&G's blessing. Nuke fans have been campaigning non-stop and the internet is blazing with commentary.

What's sad about the show's decision to not promote the sex scene -- which happened off camera -- is that the moment did not score the valuable cover stories that it surely would have in the soap digest world.Missed the big moment? See it here!
