Rumorama: What's the future for "General Hospital"'s gay doc?

Since most soap opera news sites hurt my eyes, I usually get my fill of behind-the-suds rumors from message boards. Over at the Television without Pity forums, one poster is reporting that Jason Thompson (who plays the Chief-of-Staff on both General Hospital: Night Shift and the daytime mothership) told fans that we can expect a third season of Night Shift. Even better, gay head writer Sri Rao should be returning for the third season.

That mixes interestingly with the rumor that Kyle might start working during daylight hours (possibly bringing his boyfriend, Eric, with him) once this season wraps up. That rumor didn't leave me very happy since (back in my soap geek days) I learned to avoid any soap where (current General Hospital Executive Producer) Jill Faren Phelps is in charge. (A lesson that has saved me lots of money from not having to replace TV sets broken by flying objects.)

So. I'm hoping the next time we see Kyle it'll be on a new season of Night Shift, but I'm curious how everyone else is feeling about Kyle and Eric. If you could choose, would you wait until a new season of Night Shift is ready to see Kyle again (under the same writer who created him)? Or would you rather see Kyle head to the daytime soap and go up against Nuke (even if that means a new creative team for Kyle)?

Since we haven't had much of a chance to talk about Kyle and Eric, I'd love to hear how you're feeling about their current storyline. I'm enjoying their story so far ... not only do Adam Grimes and Chad Allen have great chemestry together, Night Shift has nicely demonstrated why they would be drawn to each other.

Let's discuss it in the comments, and take our Night Shift poll after the break!
