Gays of our Lives (December 15, 2009)

Welcome to the final edition of Gays of Our Lives for the year. We’ve got a lot for you this week.

First up, our second annual GOOL BEST AND WORST polling has us asking your opinions on what you loved and hated this year in gay soaps. What was the best show both in the States and from our foreign neighbors? What storyline did you love the most? Who is your favorite straight character? And who do you think is the best couple? We’ll be asking these questions and a whole lot more.

In GOOL THEATER, if you don’t want to hear me gush about One Life to Live yet again, you’re out of luck. Find out why (as if you don’t know) when we take a look at this past week’s clips. Plus, after a few weeks absence, Good Times, Bad Times (German) is back with some fresh clips and we get the first look at the new gay storyline on Emmerdale. And As The World Turns was pretty good this week, but with a caveat.

How far will Nick go to win back Kyle Lewis? Will Aaron Livesy continue to deny his feelings for Adam on Emmerdale? This week’s GOOL SCOOPS AND SPOILERS just might have the answers. Plus, Dr. Simon Bond has a merry Christmas on Doctors, but can he handle a crisis that might put his career in jeopardy? And Ravi finds himself embroiled in his ex-lover’s relationship woes on Hollyoaks.

Sadly, another soap is gone. As the World Turns has been cancelled, and we’ve got the latest news about that in GOOL NEWSBEAT. As for One Life to Live, we’ve got interesting casting news and the dish about an honor recently bestowed on that soap. Plus, Nicholas Rodriguez provides insight on his new storyline and the dish on what Scott Evans (Oliver) wants for Christmas. We’ve also got the word on an upcoming event featuring many of your favorite foreign soap stars as well as the latest news on The Young and the Restless, True Blood, Big Love and The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

All this – and more!
