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. Is there going to be a column this week?

  2. I can’t wait to see the Whites gone from emmerdale. They have never fitted into that show and I so dislike them (its turning into hate).
    Let Robert be the new owner of Home farm that would be interesting!!

  3. I think Harry’s point was that they’d be happy enough to take him to bed but that they wouldn’t be willing to treat him as an equal either as a romantic partner or as a friend.

    I hate it when characters act selfishly then get indignant when people refuse to defer to their desires. When it’s Tracy or Kerry expecting people to protect them from their bad choices, I get annoyed but can get over it. When it is Chrissie and Lawrence ruining other people’s lives and then using their money to get away with it before whining that other people get away with much smaller slights against them, I want them gone. Characters like Robert, Charity, or Ross will cross the line, but they won’t begrudge their victims fighting back.That’s just the cost of walking the dark side.

    Why even bother with a custody hearing? Ste is a recovering drug addict with a history of domestic violence who relies on his boyfriend’s father to avoid being homeless and has a medical condition that caused him to abduct his children and punch a cop.

  4. I don’t even have any idea if they are trying to make Chrissie look that awful. What she said about Val was awful, but she didn’t mean to hurt Rebecca and she was torn about helping her – it was Lachlan who moved her away. My main view of Chrissie is that Emmerdale is very…confused about her.

    As for Ross, he’s been scum for several years now. At least now with his anger over his father it makes some sense. I just hope they aren’t going to have Victoria sleep with him. I have a bad feeling they will.

  5. I don’t really see any chemistry between Robert and Rebecca. It doesn’t help that they are essentially the same character and the writing for Rebecca is incredibly degrading. I’m so tired of seeing some “Robron” fans raking her over the coals when they turn a blind eye to Robert and Aaron both doing horrible things. This story pretty much made Rebecca look awful from the getgo because she has no loyalty beyond Robert’s sizable bulge.

  6. About A Place to Call Home: James is just ignoring his feelings for Harry for now, because he’s in a relashionship with Henry.

  7. Robert and Rebecca have a really appealing chemistry. What a great twist it would be for Robert to cheat on his fiancé (Aaron) with the sister of the fiancé (Chrissie) whom he cheated on with Aaron. No need to turn violent this time, though, and it would accentuate the fluidity of his sexuality. I can identify with Finn because I’ve had imaginary relationships before – mostly with guys at my gym. Finn and Aaron could develop into a fun comedic duo like Paddy & Marlon and should have more scenes together. I laughed when Finn asked if Robert liked Kylie Minogue and quickly realized he probably didn’t because he is bi.
