Jake Silbermann has been playing a blind man for about six months now on As the World Turns but his TV alter-ego Noah Mayer is about to get his sight back.
But he surely won’t like what he sees now that his ex-boyfriend Luke, who he still loves, has become involved with Noah’s surgeon Dr. Reid!
He talked to AfterElton.com’s Gays of Our Lives column about that and more:
AE: How do you think Noah will react when he finds out what is going on with Luke and Reid, even though Luke and Noah aren’t together?
JS: How do you think he should feel? I mean, I think anybody who sees their significant other for a long time with someone else would be feeling a number of things.
AE: Like what?
JS: Pain. Also, I think Noah was acting presumptuously on his own part and not thinking clearly without his sight and maybe we’ll see him act more clearly when he gets his vision back.
AE: In terms of what?
JS: In terms of his affection for Luke. (Pause) It was important for Noah to know that he could be on his own. He knew before that he was a self-sustaining, independent person. I think in any relationship, it’s important not to need to be with someone, but to want to be with someone. He needed to prove he could be alone and not need Luke because then that wouldn’t be fair to Luke either. A relationship is better when they are independent and you’re with each other by choice.
AE: How do you feel about the show coming to an end?
JS: It’s very sad. It’s the end of an era and it’s been very good to me. I’ve made a lot of very dear friends as a result of this and it’s been a really great experience for me. That said, I think it’s really sad for the fans. For so many people this has been a stable thing. It’s been in their lives for far longer than it’s been in mine and I’m totally aware of that.
AE: How would you like to see things come to a close? At the end of the show, the last day, where do you want Noah to be?
JS: As an actor there are so many different avenues that I would love to go with this character, but I’d really like to see first and foremost an ending that satisfies the fans. The fans have been through this and I want them to be happy. I want them to know that they have some kind of closure to these characters and I think a number of fans have expressed to me that they would like to see Luke and Noah together in the end.
