Gays of our Lives (May 26, 2009)

AE: Are you currently dating anybody?
TB: I'm not. I just broke up with a wonderful man. Well, I guess he broke up with me. I can't talk that much about it, because it's just too long and too boring a story. I've had some wonderful, wonderful men that I've loved. I'm friends with most of my exes. It's just too raw right now for us to make the transition to friends. There was a real surprising breakup.

AE: What do you hope to accomplish with coming back to the show after all these years?
TB: At this point in my life, there are two parts of me. There's a man who's got to make a living, and that is important to me, becoming successful. There's another part of me that is about making a difference. That's very, very important to me, and that's all I'll say. Hopefully, we're on the road for that. We're steering in that direction.

AE: I read that you signed a one-year contract. Do you know if you're with the show for a year?
TB: I don't know. That's really not my say. I told them that if the storyline is going where I want it to go, I'm yours, baby.

GOOL THEATER
This week in GOOL Theater, All That Matters continues its dark and twisted storyline revolving around Jenny who is masterminding her own kidnapping. Meanwhile, Roman continues to be haunted by Bulle, his gay basher. And we take another cute, but inconsequential visit to Forbidden Love. Finally, we say goodbye to another gay character as Matt Wilding exits Waterloo Road in its season finale.

All That Matters

*THANKS TO ESKIMOKISSPROJECT FOR THE CLIP!

Ugh! This show frustrates me so. One week it’s a fun, campy and spirited ride and the next it all seems so silly and pointless with no direction. It’s as if they don’t know where they are going with any particular story so they just make it up as it goes along and hope it turns out okay.

I’m liking Jenny’s do it yourself kidnapping, but that’s mostly because of the actress’ spirited performance. Her reasons for doing it are unclear (at least to me) and the triangle that is the basis for the conflict isn’t all that interesting. So basically, at its core, the whole drama seems much ado about nothing.
