I watch a lot of television, probably too much. But can you really watch too much TV? I've yet to find out. Anyway, I especially love TV when they give us positive portrayals of gays, something that has gotten better but we're still fighting for. I've written about gays in television for many years first at the much missed After Elton, then New Now Next and now at TV Source. It's kind of a passion of mine and I look forward to sharing it with you.

  1. it would be awesome if it was trimmed a bit, he is hot with just the right amount of facial hair.

  2. Thanks for noticing how frumpy Johnny’s wardrobe is. Derek knows Johnny from one of those community theater productions (Christmas, maybe?). Their whole interaction was clumsy and heavy-handed, but I think it was supposed to be Johnny being an easy target for Derek’s frustrations that he couldn’t take out on Keegan. If it means we’re on the road to a story for Johnny, I’ll overlook it and move on. He needs more scenes outside the Vic, anyway.

    All the baby stuff is a turnoff (now we have baby stories in 3 UK soaps), but it may be the death of my interest in Iolo & Tyler. The possibility of a Will-Sonny-Gabi-style living arrangement is a drag on both of them as well as Kelly and can’t possibly have a happy ending. Maybe that’s the point. The Gwyneth situation was resolved too easily, but it removes her from this storyline so I’ll go with it. She’s no longer needed to create drama now that Macs is back on the scene – and he’s far more interesting and attractive. Oh, and that full beard doesn’t flatter Iolo.

  3. Is Robert going to learn that Aaron is having episodic amnesia about the events of two years ago and is starting to recover his memory?

  4. Mo had a surprising non-reaction to Darryl the first time it looked like he and Jack might hook up (technically all they did was hang out and kiss once) so I doubt he’d care at this point.
