Gays of our Lives (June 16, 2009)

GOOL THEATER

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT SOME OF THE CLIPS CONTAIN A FEW NSFW WORDS!

The Young and The Restless

Now we’re getting there! Or closer anyway. At least we know that the mysterious Langley actually is the believed-to-be-dead Phillip Chancellor III, not that it was ever really in doubt. I mean, why bring back Thom Bierdz and have him not be Phillip? I admit I’m surprised the show didn’t leave that reveal dangling a bit longer, but I guess it’s the how and the why – not to mention the repercussions to follow – that are most important. And those repercussions should be mighty interesting!

Would he lie to you? Actually, he would

For a man who was behind such an elaborate charade, Cane is a terrible liar. It’s as if in these scenes, he’s lying to Nina and she knows he’s lying, and he knows she knows he’s lying, but because she has no proof, they are both pretending not to know what is going on when they both do know. Get it? Good,. I almost confused myself there!

Física O Química — Okay, before watching this clip, a quick recap. Fer is interested in David, but David is deeply closeted. But apparently not closeted enough to avoid nearly having sex with Fer in the school bathroom, not to mention also engaging in a few steamy make-out sessions where they could have been caught in the act.

Fer’s sex life is caught on tape … again

Well, actually, they were caught by Fer’s old buddy Gorka, who videotaped Fer and David making out in bed. What is it with Fer’s sex romps being caught on tape? And why does Gorka care? He cares because David, who is pretending to be straight, is dating Gorka’s ex-girlfriend. Now, rather than just tell her that David is a ‘mo, he has a more diabolical plan in mind, as we see in this clip.

Ah! That Gorka is as nasty as one remembers, isn’t he? Part of me admires the little snake for his ingenuity. While I’m enjoying Gorka’s wicked ways, I am decidedly not enjoying David and it’s hard for me to sympathize with the character. It’s one thing to struggle with your sexuality and not be ready to come out. But David not only uses Ruth as a beard; he almost humiliates her in such a cruel way, thereby turning himself into a coward. And as a viewer, it certainly doesn’t make me want to root for David and Fer to get together.

Something tells me this entire twisted love quadrangle is not going to end well. I gotta say, however, Fer and David have great chemistry. Even though they didn’t do anything and there was no physical contact between them, that shower scene was hot. Welcome back, FOQ, we’ve missed you!
