Take your shirt off, it's Season Three of Dante's Cove!

As you know, I’m all about the fluff, so when there’s news about Dante’s Cove, I’m all over it.

Okay, seriously, I put Dante’s Cove in my Google alerts back when I was writing my article on the most groundbreaking gay sex scenes in television history and I’ve been too lazy to remove it. So today I got an alert that the third season trailer is up on actor Greg Michael’s (Kevin) MySpace page, and it looks like the show will be as hard-hitting, gritty, realistic, and powerful as the first two seasons, which is to say, not at all, because if what you’re looking for is serious drama, Dante’s Cove is not where you go.

No, Dante’s Cove is where you go if you’re looking for guys with their shirts off rolling around in the sand making glorious love while ancient curses drive immortal beings to wreak havoc on the lives and loves of everyone they come in contact with.

And did I mention the guys keep taking their shirts off? I really need to mention that because if the first two seasons are anything to go by, that’s the main focus of the entire series. I guess it’s all highly metaphorical.

There are lots of new actors joining the cast this season, including the man with the most perfect eyebrows in television history, Noah’s Arc’s Jensen Atwood (who promises he’ll be taking his shirt off, although he told Greg Hernandez that he doesn’t actually think it’s possible to take it off more frequently than he did in Noah’s Arc). And journalistic integrity does force me to note that my friend, blogger Rod McCullom, feels that Atwood has more to offer than just those beautiful eyebrows, and also has some stills from the upcoming season over on Rod 2.0.)

Also taking his shirt off joining the cast this season is former Lance Bass boy-toy Reichen Lehmkuhl, as well as out actresses Jenny Shimizu and Jill Bennett, who rumors have forming two sides of a hot love triangle with the Cove’s sexy Britt (out actress Michelle Wolff). Wow, a three-way with three out actresses. Pardon me while I make sure my local cable system carries here! network.

Where was I? Oh, right, guys with their shirts off. Series regular Gabriel Romero (Marco) told Hernandez that the first ten minutes of the season premiere would blow the tops of people’s heads off, and that he and Atwood were going to get to know each other in a very special way:

“I have a very steamy scene with [new cast member] Jensen [Atwood]. It was very powerful and was supposed to be the biggest orgasm of my life."
