Also... IF... and that is just an IF... Martin only wanted to adopt these kids years ago... to improve his image and political agenda... then... that's disgusting. There are people like that, I don't deny that... but it's just so wrong. Adopting should never be about advancing your career. I don't care how good it makes you look. I'm still not sure if that is the case. I'm just commenting, because I saw that sentiment and speculation being repeated a lot.
The entire thing with the adopted kids is going to be a problem in the future. I have no idea why these hot late 20s, early 30s looking gay men are written like they are in their late 40s, early 50s... the whole vibe around them is so dreary and... bizarre. They do resemble a middle aged straight couple in terms of dynamics. And a boring one, may I add. Again - it's just the beginning, so I'm OPEN for improvement and still happy that THERE is gay representation on the show. I don't want to sound ungrateful. No, no, no! (with the voice of Erica Kane)
And Martin... Smitty may be your husband, but he is not your possession. The whole "your promised to do this" manipulative shtick can work only between pathetic characters like Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan. I expect more from this show... so Smitty - step your sh-t up and shine bright like a diamond. Ditch that negative energy and find yourself a cute bear that can represent some different body shape than the usual hot as possible actors on soaps. LOL.
We'll see.
