Er was toch ooit in een Nederlandse soap (Goudkust dacht ik) ook een homorelatie? Niet dat ik dat volgde, maar ik dacht dat het wel daarin voorkwam.

overigens als k google dan blijkt dat het in Nederland al een gepasseert station is dus dat de Amerikanen zo ver voor liggen lijkt niet echt te kloppen

Actors' approach

The actors have been known to bring some part of their real experience into the roles they portray. Hansis and Silbermann are no exception, and detailed what they find useful in their own lives in creating Luke and Noah.

Hansis explained: "Luke is all about the need to be loved and accepted. I think that need is universal. Life is about acceptance from the people who you want to love you. If that means family, a wife, a husband, a girlfriend/boyfriend, a best friend, you just want people to love you for who you are. Anyone can relate to that."

Silbermann cited a somewhat different take: "I don't bring any specific experiences to Noah. I think we can all relate to an unrequited love or a romance filled with obstacles. That's really all this story is."

As the World Turns executive producer Chris Goutman stated in a WGN radio interview that Hansis and Silbermann are "both very modest actors." He cited their ability to show the proper emotions in a very subtle and effective way (i.e. Luke's knowing smile and longing look at Noah, Noah's inner pain and fear of his father). When asked if they rehearse together to decide which facial expressions they will use to convey these emotions in a given scene, Hansis replied, "No. [They] rehearse together to make sure [they] have the lines right. But it's not usually about the acting, its just running lines. The acting comes when the cameras are on. [They] are comfortable with each other as actors, so if one of [them] does something new during taping, the other just rolls with it and it usually creates some nice moments."

Addressing the couple's possibility of marriage, children, and divorce, Hansis pondered "why can't people on soaps just date?" He relayed that "maybe five years down the line they should have a kid, but not now." Hansis further cited, "College has a whole slew of potential soap-worthy storylines. I think a lot of cool stories could come out of that."

Silbermann, on the other hand, voiced his lack of knowledge of what is in store for the couple. He did, however, state the audience "can assume it won't be smooth sailing."

Hansis clarified: "We have no idea what's happening until we get the scripts, which happens about a week in advance. We can talk to the producers if we want. I have done that once or twice, but they keep the writers and actors pretty separate."

Hansis and Silbermann cited their offscreen friendship when describing their ease in portraying intimate scenes between Luke and Noah. "It makes them easier," Hansis conveyed. "Jake is a good friend. I know he's got my back and is not going to make me look like an ass onscreen. I hope I return the favor. I think we work well together and I couldn't have asked for a cooler person to play opposite. Jake is just very down to earth and funny and open to different ideas. It makes every scene very comfortable."

Silbermann added, "I think we had become friends before the first kiss so not really. If anything, I think it makes it more comfortable."

Nou ik weet niet, als ik ze zo bezig zie. Dan komt het zo echt over.

Dat had ik bv niet bij Brokeback mountain, daar voelde ik direct. Dit zijn hetero;s die een homo proberen na te doen.

Mijn homo-intuitie zegt (gay radar) dat ze allebij homo zijn, of is dat nu mijn fantasie die op de loop gaat.

Nou in ieder geval bij van hansis, zou ik zeer verbaast zijn als hij hetero is.
