Finally.

More than a year after Noah and Luke shared the first gay male kiss in the history of American soap operas, on As the World Turns, the couple took the next step: they had sex.

CBS says this has pretty much been the plan all along.

"For the last year and a half, we've been telling Luke and Noah's story in a sensitive, respectful way and their romance has evolved over time. The scenes in Monday's episode represent a natural progression of their relationship," a spokesperson for the CBS serial said about the unexpected love-making milestone this week.

What's your take? Was it worth the wait?

Kristina Sisco Romero will return to As the World Turns tomorrow.

The actress, who left the role of Abigail in 2002, actually directed the January 15 episode of the show.

"It was quite by happenstance, because my talent manager and I had seen some rumors on the Internet that they were thinking about bringing Abigail back to the show," Romero told Soap Opera Digest. "So she ended up calling Chris [Goutman, executive producer] and talking to him and she starting telling him about the things that I've been doing.

I just graduated USC with my Masters in writing and directed some things, so it came to the point where she asked if there were any opportunities. He said, 'If Kristina's really interested in directing, she can come out and shadow the directors and learn.'"
