Hmm, yes Parker and Liberty have indeed had sex before Luke and Noah.... a late teenage gay relationship that's been going on for almost a year was trumped by the sexual impulses of a 16-year old and her determination to bed a 15-year old after knowing him for about a month. Poor Mick Hazen (Actor for Parker - he's genuinely 15 years old and from the few times I've met him, seems more interested in playing (paintball, baseball, basketball - maybe anything that ends with "ball") than acting out a mature relationship. Liberty's actress is a very young 21.) But in either case, Thursday's episode has gone down in infamy.
The soap magazines are questioning why, of course. Other relationships were built up over at least a few weeks, especially the ones that have hinted at familial inappropriateness or incest, which is fortunately missing from the Luke and Noah relationship. This one seems almost like it was on the fast track. Which is incredible, considering how most relationships on soap operas are treated slowly. There is some indication to believe that this storyline may have been written to appease right wing-conservative thinkers who have been harassing Proctor & Gamble and As The World Turns for their "gay storyline".
For more on that, just post a reply.
