As we go into the weekend, here's a handy shortlist of the biggest stories of the week on AfterElton.com. And to get you into a playful mood, each Friday's final post will feature a pic up top that desperately needs captioning. Each week we'll pick our fave suggestion from the comments and run it in the following week's post. Have fun!

But in the InTurn online reality show, the straight boys balked at their gay kiss challenge, and one of them went home as a result! Meanwhile, the lovable Germans of Forbidden Love dropped by but didn't have much to do until Olivia got drunk and wound up in bed with them. And over on Hollyoaks, things are heating up between John-Paul and Kieron.
