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. I cant believe you think Finn and Kasim have chemistry. I think you just like the fact they gave Finn a love interest. Also Kasim needs to cut his hair. Lol

  2. I hope Finn & Kasim can find their way back together, but Emmerdale is annoying me again with the same thing they did when Aaron & Jackson were getting together. This one has too much Emma & Tracy, and that one had too much Chas and Hazel. I empathize with Kasim feeling crowded, and Finn seems pretty tone deaf not to notice it. Of all the issues Lawrence and Ronnie face in trying to get together, at least there’s no overbearing mother. Ross & Rebecca could be a good duo of troublemakers if the show develops them well. And Brenda’s input about Kylie Minogue and gays did make me chuckle.

    So glad we got back to the Iolo & Tyler that I love. Iolo being mean to Gwyneth doesn’t bother me so much because a) I don’t like the character and b) I once had a stepmother I didn’t care for. If Sean wasn’t so self-righteous, Iolo and Gwyneth could jib and jab one another and play it for comedy. When Iolo called the gift “that voodoo thing,” it made me wish the show was in English because I’m sure it was funnier without the subtitles.

    DOOL wasn’t as bad as I feared, but I was struck by how engaged Sonny seemed when chatting with JJ at the house and how detached he seemed when chatting with Paul at TBD.
