Noah: Wait. How are my pupils doing? I mean, are — are they getting worse? Is the surgery still on?
Reid: Fine, no, yes. I’ll call to schedule our next appointment.
Just a little fluff for a change. 😉

The other night, I started to do a quickie news post on the uphill battle to LuRe Luke and Reid to OLTL (based on a thread started on the ABC daytime message boards). There hasn’t been much activity in the last week, so I would guess the enthusiasm has largely died in the water.
As previously noted, some big issues included:
As I started to read the discussion board posts (interesting reading, I have to say), I went back to fill in the blanks of the Kish story (on and off screen).
Why is there a Kish article on a LuRe fansite? Because I think there are some interesting parallels and lessons that should be taken away for fans of Kish and LuRe. I have a similar post in mind for Otalia, but that one makes this look like a drabble, so it’ll have to wait until I have more time available! So, what follows is:
I will admit I have never followed Kish and have never watched OLTL. I’ve watched a few clips on YouTube (smuchshypush strikes again!) and have cobbled together the summary below through a lot of research.
Eric Sheffer Stevens appeared last night (18th October) on Showtime’s The Big C. As suggested by how little press it got, it was a small guest spot. Viewing information and episode review follow below the jump…
The ESS Crew sum it up well: “ESS looks quite yummy in glasses…the guy who plays his hubby…No Van…” And over at LRO, the thread on this episode features quite a lot squeeing about Andy’s wardrobe: thick glasses, plaid shirt, skinny tie. And oh yeah, while it’s a dinner, we don’t see Eric eating (!) though he does raise a glass for several toasts!
A brief bit of background. The Big C stars Laura Linney as Cathy, a suburban schoolteacher who has been diagnosed with cancer. She has not yet told her estranged husband, Paul or teenaged son, Adam. She also happens to have a cute, caring doctor (oncologist?).
In this episode, Eric plays a character named Andy, who is the gay partner of one of Paul’s colleagues. Though he is on-screen for several minutes, as a guest player, (and an apparently shy character) he only has 1-1/2 lines ("does “thank you” count as a line? that’s the half), and most of the line is delivered when the camera is on Paul’s reaction.
The video has apparently been posted and removed from YouTube multiple times already, so I don’t think I can embed it here, but it is definitely available for viewing online via episode streaming sites.
So, does Reid still think Luke cheated on him with a girl? What do you think?
As previously noted, this is the end of a three-part arc (basically the whole Oakdale Now storyline).
