(TIME Warp) 16 Years after 'The Kiss' that was felt around the 'World'!

Luke Snyder and Noah Mayer were a supercouple that didn't end up together when As the World Turns ended 3 years later.  Luke was portrayed by Van Hansis, and Noah was portrayed by Jake Silbermann. On Internet message boards, the couple is referred to by the portmanteau "Nuke" (for Noah and Luke). They are notable for being one of American daytime television's first gay male couples.

The two made history on August 17, 2007, when the show "featured the first-ever" gay male kiss in American daytime. The YouTube video of the kiss was one of the top-watched the following day. The now "legendary" kiss stands as one of the most viewed selections in the history of YouTube with over 2 million hits.
