"Clara Sheller" Season 2 video clip update: Yowza!

Gilles immediately drops his pants and turns onto his stomach. Just how much experience bottoming has he had? I'd sure love to see some flashbacks of that.

The scene is scorching, and yet so tender. There's something very sexy about this JP when he's in love scenes, and of course Gilles is a work of art.

That was hot.

And amazing.

I love it when you really want something to happen in a TV-series / movie / book - and then those things actually happen...

Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

which is a shame.  I'd love to see Kevin and Scotty, or Luke and Noah in something that steamy - maybe we'd be surprisedat the top/bottom configuration in those relationships, too.  Maybe one day...

I know I only watch this show through clips on AE, but especially with this development, doesn't it seem to be more about JP and less about Clara?  Or are there massive arcs of Clara at work or something that we skim over here to justify the name of the show? 

Or if it did, it would be massively cut.

My GOD that was HOT!!!!

I haven't been following this show at all, but I'm guessing the "straight" guy is new to this? Because he seemed very uncertain about the kissing. Then he suddenly just lets it all go and rolls over.

The implication alone of what that would portend would send most most straight male American viewers fleeing from the room to go hide in a corner with their back to the wall!

To think we get excited whenever Kevin and Scotty on B&S share a closed-mouth kiss!

The famous aria (i hope i'm not the only one who noticed it) was such a beautiful touch from a beautiful show... FYI (for our young readers) that particular song (in a scene from Madama Butterfly) was about this japanese girl waiting for his one true love as ships arrive (or will arrive as she confidently awaits).  in this version the scene showed trains arriving and then gilles appeared in jp's door.... such a lovely scene... but with a better ending that what happend with Butterfly (in the opera)... oh god i hope this has a better ending - i mean... gilles deserves better... he's kind, loving, not to mention dreamy.  he deserves more than a girl of a mess like clara.  and i hope jp now realizes dreams do come true and hold on to that dream...

this is the best episode of CS so far.  i've given up on american t.v. ever since Ollian graced our computer screens so it doesn't really make sense to compare us with european shows anymore. 

What a tastefully yet realistic scene between the two men. Like someone said, you won't never find this on us tv. Vive la france!

Random comment number 5 reminds me of a comment which JP's mother's "boyfriend" Joseph made earlier in the season. Here's a rough translation:

Joseph: JP, I'll explain to you what's happening between you [and Clara]. Your friend Clara, she's egotistical, she lies: she's a guy. And your Gilles, he's sweet, courageous, he wants to create a home; there's a big void in his life, a strong need to fill this void, either with a child, or with someone he loves, profoundly; so he's a girl.

JP: So what am I then?

Joseph: Well you're a lesbian! 

J'ai une petite question:

As compelling as this story is, and further - as much I love to see them together - don't you guys think that JP should have been more, je ne sais quoi, embarassed - seeing that Clara is his best friend? Take away the element of homosexuality - and the elements left behind are still a bit shady at best. Anyway, incredibly entertaining. Ok, and just for the record - I was totally thinking that JP was going to umm, well, be the - well you know.  

ALSO: Can anyone identify the song that is being played at the end of (last few moments) the clip? I don't know much about the song and/or can identify the musician, but I do like it and would love to hear more.  

I have really enjoyed reading all the comments above.

This scene is the last in episode 4 with two episodes to go so there are a few twists and turns left to play out. The majority of the episodes are devoted to Clara, her work, her relationships with Gilles and JP or with her family and friends. Her brother, Mathieu is played sensitively by Jeremie Elkaim, perviously seen in a number of gay related French movies.

The problem with Clara is that she cannot see the wood for the trees. In a parallel story Clara has an admirer, Antoine played by the handsome Thomas Jouannet. She flirts with him, obviously really likes him but is blind to the possibility of him being her partner despite his obvious enthusiasm for her.

The comments above about Gilles  and his feelings for JP are, I think, spot on.

All will be revealed in the not too distant future, courtesy of ZTube31.

Haven't seen Clara Sheller before, but it looks like I've got some catching up to do.

Again, WOW.

Hmm, I didn't think you guys in the US had not seen or heard about how season 2 ends, so I won't spoil it (I've owned the season 2 DVD and soundtrack ever since season 2 aired back in October or so).

True what's been said above, JP and Gilles never slept together. In season 1 it is JP that's scared to go all the way and runs away, making Gilles find consolation in Clara's arms and bed. Gilles has moved on since, but not entirely as is obvious. JP hasn't moved on at all as you can tell from what he says to Gilles in the above clip (at 2:40). He's been in love with Gilles for the last 3 years and has not been able to have any serious relationship because of it.

I agree that the scenes between JP and Gilles are very steamy, yet tender. It's not been accepted by all Europeans as easily and on forum's I've been on some people were outraged - especially mothers fearing for their kids seeing it, as it aired at a pre-watershed time. But you know what? Clara Sheller is being aired again right this moment (today 2 episodes in a row) on France 4.. and you know when? At 2:00pm (and again 2 episodes at 8:35pm) in the afternoon.. so all those screaming mothers probably put their children outside in rainy weather... and watched it by themselves, with their husbands away in the pub.

For info - the 'Antoine' of the first season (Philippe Lefèbvre) played gay in "Sa Raison d'Etre" ("His Reason to Be" - 2008 made for TV, with Nicolas Gob in one of the main roles), mentioned on AE before, a very powerful 2-episode drama about AIDS and its consequences.

Thanks, j U d E. 

Have you heard if there will be a Season 3 of Clara Sheller? France 2 was indicating before the airing of Season 2 in November last year that additional seasons were planned and the ending of Season 2 certainly set it up for another but perhaps the problematic ratings put paid to that.
