Sorry just getting around to your recap. You and your sis seem like you have a great relationship even though I'm sure it was tense these last few months.
I am first and foremost a Luke girl, and I've been this way since day one. I've always wanted what's best for him, regardless of what was going on in his crazy life. But Nuke is still very special to me, and I love Noah, and I absolutely adore Jake. Amen, girl. These are my exact thoughts too. I will never hate Noah or Nuke. Sure, I hated how he treated Luke during his blindness but I never hated him. He was/is a good guy who made Luke happy for a long time. They were good together until they weren't. But since Luke is my priority, I didn't want Noah for Luke after not appreciating everything that Luke did for him. So yeah, I wanted something better for Luke and that happened to be Reid and I'm not going to apologize if I too jumped ship.
And I loved how Noah was willing to sacrifice his plans and take care of Luke. ♥ Noah, I have missed you. Yup, this is the Noah I've been missing since Mason arrived in town last summer. The Noah would do anything for Luke because he wanted to, not because Luke asked him to. But I have to say that I don't think Noah was going to sacrifice his plan/dream (I mean, there isn't a deadline on going for your dreams, is there?); he was just planning on sticking around longer til Luke got better. But that's how I saw it. Honestly, though, if Noah truly wanted to put Luke first and foremost (and not just now but forever), I could see and accept a Nuke reunion. It'd take a lot of work from both because even though the love is there, it takes a lot more than simple love to make a relationship work--they both know that now. But then I think that both guys finding other guys might be better for them; they need to experience life outside of each other and outside of Oakdale.
Janet--I gotta say that although I don't like the girl, I teared up at her and Dusty's instant family. Same with CarJack (though I do like them)--but things were wrapped up way too neatly.
Holden crying--oh my gosh! I loved that but was sad too. You could tell he was crying since these were some of his last scenes EVER, even if wasn't saying those words to the original Lily. But yeah, I felt it too.
Great recap, as always, but I'm not commenting on your last one because I will not talk about that last episode when the show had already been completely ruined for me.
Yeah, the relationship with the sis wasn't the best on the ATWT front, so we just resigned to calling each other names and then talked happily about everything else. LOL. Despite our vastly differing opinions on the show, it really hasn't taken a toll on our relationship overall, thankfully. :-)
I, too, intensely disliked Noah during his blindness storyline, because, as you said, Luke is my priority. So to have someone like Reid come in and tell Luke, "Hey, you're not as bad as you think you are" and for him to just love Luke as he is....yeah, there was no way I wasn't going to go for that. :-) We can be ship jumpers together! I'm totally cool with that. :-)
YES, about Noah. I've really missed that honest Noah, the one who put Luke first. The Noah from the Mason storyline. And I saw him just the way you did: putting his plans on hold just for the moment, to take care of Luke. I didn't expect him to sacrifice everything altogether, and we all know Luke wouldn't let him do that. :-) I'm happy that Noah was himself in the last few episodes, for Luke's sake.
And I agree with you about the two of them finding life outside of Oakdale. (Well, okay, I agree with you on this about Noah, because I refuse to accept Luke's ending, LOL. Reid is not dead in my mind, so he and Luke are just fine. :-)) I was actually super excited for Noah to go out and do his film stuff. After being blind and thinking he'd lost his dreams, I thought going to LA could only be a great thing for him.
Things with CarJack and Janet were way too neat, but seeing as the show is ending and all, I just went with it. Whatev, y'know? I'm happy that Dusty got his happy ending; he really deserved it after everything Janet put him through. And CarJack...well, they've been waiting for so long for things to work out!
Holden crying broke my heart. So good, but so sad. :-(
LOL. I totally understand about the last recap. In it, however, I made up my own ending for Luke and Reid, if you're interested. It's happy and loving and has lots of food in it. LOL! (But I'm totally with you...I will never forgive this show for this ending. NEVER.)
