GOOL THEATER

Les Bleus

Yann wants his marriage back… but does Kevin?

When we last saw Kevin, he was having an affair with Tiago. Since then, Yann found out about the affair and confronted his spouse. That’s when Kevin told Yann (and the viewers) that he knew Yann had cheated on him too. Yann was willing to forgive and forget, but Kevin was in love with Tiago and wanted out of his marriage to Yann. That’s where we begin…

And that’s a wrap. I know a lot of fans are upset with how it ends for Kevin, with him quitting the force, ending his marriage and leaving town to be with Tiago. But I’m not upset with the ending. I never liked Kevin and Yann as a couple, mostly because I always felt that Kevin had to do all the work. And oddly enough, after doing all that work to create a domestic life with Yann, Kevin realized that it wasn’t what he wanted at all.

And frankly, that’s realistic. Many of us come to realize the relationship we thought would make us happy and the job we thought we were satisfied with, aren’t really working when we look more closely.

I think that Kevin found his life at a crossroads and he needed to make a change. I realize it’s not happily ever after, but for me this is a much more relatable close. My only regret is that we’ll never see Kevin again. I found him to be a unique and engaging character in the gay canon. He will be missed.
