GOOL THEATER

With the further unveiling of Kyle and Fish relationship on One Life To Live, the introduction of Good Times, Bad Times’ Lucas Sanders and much more, we have a great deal to cover this week representing the best and the worst in soaps featuring gay characters. As always, I invite you to share your thoughts about the week’s shows at the end of the column.

NOTE: PLEASE BE AWARE THESE CLIPS MAY CONTAIN THE OCCASIONAL NSFW WORD OR TWO!

Coronation Street – This clip introduces Sean’s new love interest, Leon. And well, I can see why Sean would be interested…

But what I can’t see is why this guy would give Sean the time of day. I guess the point of this storyline is going to be that love is blind. It would have to be. Deaf, too. And stupid.

I do have to admit I did find the entire scene kind of funny, and I love Sean’s self-deprecating comments; self-awareness always scores points with me. However, I have the dreaded feeling we’re going to see a hundred different variations of this scene before this storyline comes to a close.

I suppose I should put on my optimist cap and hope for the best, but this show’s track record with Sean’s storylines is not good. Alas, the storyline’s premise (and the upcoming events over the next several weeks which I won’t spoil here) don’t give me much hope that I’m wrong.

Leon’s got the look Sean wants to know better…
