Gays of our Lives (October 13, 2009)

Another week and that means another new edition of Gays of Our Lives. This week in GOOL THEATER, we introduce yet another new drama: Spanish telenovela Rich Kids, Poor Parents (Niños Ricos, Pobres Padres), which features tormented gay teens Santiago and Diego.

Plus, Carsten and Lenny say goodbye in the German version of Good Times, Bad Times, we make another visit to People of the Valley, Luke makes a terrible decision on As the World Turns and One Life to Live has one of my favorite soap moments in a long, long time.

In GOOL SCOOPS AND SPOILERS, Forbidden Love threatens to get interesting when Christian faces a terrible tragedy. Meanwhile, Lucas gets a new job and goes head to head with Dex on the Dutch version of Good Times, Bad Times, there’s a hot new addition to Brothers & Sisters and Deniz learns a couple of secrets on All That Matters. Plus, the Trauma team faces a crazed gunman.

And in GOOL NEWSBEAT, check out One Life to Live star Brett Claywell’s (Kyle) thoughts on his kissing scenes with co-stars Scott Evans (Oliver) and Nicholas Rodriguez (Nick) while EastEnders’ John Partridge clears up the record on some comments that created a bit of a stir in the U.K. Plus, the German boys of Good Times, Bad Times are looking for story ideas and an update on Phillip Chancellor's future on The Young and The Restless.

The Ran Quadruplet

Boy, I’m lucky nobody was home when I watched this show this week…

Soaps don’t surprise me that often. Between the spoilers and my years of watching them, I usually know what’s coming up long before it happens. So I love it when a show managed to put one over on me. And I so did not see Eytan leaving his wife coming. But the well-acted scene played out beautifully as we discovered that Eytan never wanted to get married (though you’d think his refusal to come out of his house for a half hour would be a sign, but I digress). I truly did not think he was leaving until he reached behind the TV and pulled out the suitcase. It was quite the powerful, dramatic moment, and I screamed something out loud that I can’t say on a family website such as this. Needless to say, the scene made quite an impact on me and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Eytan left both his wife… and me… stunned.
