Pondering soap operas and gay storylines in these...

Mar 24, 2010 15:40

I've got a soft spot for British lads since I watched 'Beautiful Thing' at the movies back in 1996 in New York (and I guess my mom probably regrets having picked that movie now, because that's when my slash fascination started... *laughs*) and Scott Neal who played Ste, and therefore I'm a bit partial to Emmerdale's Aaron Livesy who is to me like a ( Read more... )

aw, that movie is just so dear to my heart!

Yep, it's one of the best feelgood gay movies I know. Mwah. :-)

I'm with you on this, i wish everyone would be just as not caring as me. You're gay? Big whoop! Now i'm off to do the dishes. I just don't understand how it is a big deal to some people. I remember hiding in my kitchen one christmas trying to avoid my dad's family with my portable dvd player watching Queer As Folk with my brother and discussing what he thought was a physically impossible sexual position when our younger cousin comes in and is apparently scarred for life. I don't get it. I really don't. Then again he is a good catholic boy so maybe he'd have been just as freaking out if he'd seen sex and the city - to be fair i get scared watching that.

Okay that was me, no clue why i was logged out.

No probs. :-)

And heh, scarred for life? *snorts* Your poor cousin. ;-) Hopefully he won't stay as sheltered as he is now.

But yay for being of the same opinion! *highfives*

Very well put!

I didn't actually check out Aaron's storyline on Emmerdale, I don't know why. Especially since I am following James Sutton's character on Emmerdale! I'm still hung up on him from Hollyoaks. :D

Thanks! :-)

*laughs* Aw, once a McDean fan, forever a McDeanie, eh? ;-) What's James' storyline like, then? *is curious*

Heee. McDean really got to me, and I don't think I'll let it go anytime soon.

James's storyline is kinda similar to the very first VL: he fell in love with his half-sister. They broke it off when they found out, but I'm still kinda hoping they'll get back together (oh, the wrongness!).
Since that has been resolved, there's not much going on with his character. But hey, I really only watch it to hear him talk. :)
