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. Regarding your wish that there’s some growth and change with the Scott character on Hollyoaks now that he’s gone through a suicide attempt, perhaps that ties into them introducing his brother, Damon Kinsella (actorJacob Roberts). Recall, Scott found out about Damon’s existence during the suicide episode, and the character will be introduced during the show’s upcoming trip to Ibiza featuring several regulars.

  2. I never got the impression that Todd was 100% against having children, just not this child in these circumstances at this moment in his relationship with Billy. I still hope that this story ties back more to the child Todd lost with Sarah, that maybe he feels opening his heart to another kid diminishes that loss or something. I also think it’d be more interesting if they flipped expectations and had Summer take to Todd right away versus Billy.
