Luke Snyder, This is Your (Love) Life
Originally published at LoveLure's Luke and Reid Blog. Please leave any comments there.
Back in early May 2010, I was thinking about Luke and Reid’s conversation where Luke took the blame for Noah’s accident. I’d never actually seen those segments, so I thought I’d see how close to the mark Reid actually was. The next thing I knew I was curating a YouTube history of Luke’s entire love life. Some incredible acting by Van Hansis - most of it heartbreaking.
It occurred to me that I never actually posted it here. There are lots of bios of Luke available, including good ones on Wikipedia and SoapCentral. The Luke and Noah Fans page also has a great episode guide that goes through his storyline episode by episode using LukeVanFan’s clips. But there’s not something in between that just gives the highlights.
So that’s what I focused on. I created a YouTube playlist that includes most of the major highlights from Luke’s life since 2005. It’s not quite complete, and there are several episodes out of order. Plus they come from different sources, so it’s a bit hard to follow - over time, I hope to clean all that up and embed the video here so you can watch the videos and read the narrative without having to switch windows back and forth.

After watching the videos to put together this playlist, I wrote back in May: “Hasn’t the poor boy suffered enough? GIve him some happiness before the show ends, please!” Not only was he kidnapped twice, almost raped, and held at gunpoint in addition; had reason to believe both dads were dead at various times; but his love life’s been an (ahem) train wreck. How ironically UNprescient I was.
If you haven’t seen Luke’s story already and don’t want to be spoiled, DO NOT continue reading.
So, without further ado….
