But arent most gay guys like Scotty? I just feel their relationship is a typical gay one. One is way out there and there other guy is more laid back and totally not in your face. If that makes any sense..lol. I relate more to Kevin. Don't particulary like the Scotty type of guy. :lol:

haha - well I relate to Kevin as well...but I don't know - I know an equal amount of the Kevin type and the Scotty type. I think one might assume there are more 'Scotty's' out there bc they are more vocal about the whole gay thing as a whole...but there are plenty of laid back 'Kevin' types like you and me that I know...the older ones are now coming out through sex scandals...ha - but now that being gay is more acceptable, there are lots of 'Kevin' types in our generation.

Last night was the first time I watched it and I will definitely be tuning in again. And me as another who really wanted to see that Tcker Boothe fellow.

Just a general question to you regular viewers: How does last night's episode stack up against the others so far?

Awesome - glad you liked it. It is one of the best shows on TV right now - mainly bc of the casting and writing. The cast just makes you feel warm and they give their all.

I think last night's episode was average - it was good, but not the best. Sally Field is amazing, as is the woman playing Sarah - both which usually have Emmy-winning material each week, except last night they didn't have a chance to shine.

Last night didn't feature Saul (the uncle) or Holly (the mistress) or much of that storyline, so there will be other things next week that'll be different. This was more of a stand-alone episode, except the sterile brother storyline sorta picked up. The little brother is a drug addict, but his new girlfriend is helping him stay straight - and Tommy, the older brother, pretty much washed his hands of him....you've missed some amazing scenes with the little brother Justin in that storyline.

And there is Kevin and the gay relationship - which I applaud ABC for giving a gay relationship equal airtime. Kevin is really likeable.

Another good episode, imo.

I can't blame Kevin for not wanting to give his sperm to his brother. From a legal aspect, I would imagine it could get sticky if the brothers ended up having a conflict and the biological father wanted visitation rights. I think Kevin's reaction came equally from being a lawyer and being a gay man who was somewhat insulted.

I'm another gay man who is more like Kevin than Scotty! Living in a rural community, it would be nearly impossible to act that flamboyant on a daily basis (not that I would want to anyway).

It took me a while to warm up to Balthazar Getty's Tommy but I finally am starting to like his character.

I think Nora's kiss with David was way too soon after her husband's death. I hope the writers slow this relationship down considerably.

    • Lol! I'm quite sure it would. 
    • But that is pretty much situation normal for all soaps. They do not tend to continue to show things like surgical scars. They also play fast & loose with hospital procedures.
    • re: prior two posts about Trump's new opulent plane contrasted with utter starvation in Gaza... Trump and Netanyahu are giving "Let them eat cake".  And it's horrific. In 2013, Pope Francis removed a bishop from running the Limburg Germany diocese because he was constructing an opulent 31-million-euro building. This is from Reuters obit of Francis: https://www.reuters.com/world/obituary-pope-francis-shook-up-church-with-simplicity-raising-conservative-ire-2025-04-21/ From the start, Francis sent clear signals to priests and bishops about the type of Church he wanted. He said there was no room for "careerists or social climbers" among the clergy, told cardinals they should not live "like princes," and said the Church should not "dissect theology" in lush salons while there were poor people around the corner. "If investments in banks fall, it is a tragedy and people say 'what are we going to do?' but if people die of hunger, have nothing to eat or suffer from poor health, that's nothing. This is our crisis today. A Church that is poor and for the poor has to fight this mentality," he said early in his papacy. -- Pope Francis stood up for the poor, the unhoused, the migrants of all faiths.  He lived simply and ordered that when he died, that he wished to be interred in a simple wooden coffin. I sincerely hope that the new pope Leo will follow Francis' example.
    • Co Sign!!!!   I have been watching the show regularly over the last few weeks and am pleasantly surprised by how much easier it is to watch each day. This definitely is confirmation for me that Paula and Jeanne wrote the stroke episodes, cause I felt the same way watching those. Could be more exciting for sure, but interactions now make more sense and everything seems to be a bit more character driven which is great. I will add though, there are still about 10 or so characters i'd love to see gone, and hope a few will exit in the future! Otherwise, happy with the changes so far. 
    • Sean Freeman looks good in anything. Would not change one thing. Arielle Prepetit looking cute.

    • There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in Gaza https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czrv5rl73zdo Quoting excerpts from BBC article: The baby's mother Najwa, 23, is changing Siwar's nappy. She weighs just over 2kg (4lb 6oz). A baby girl of five months should be around or over 6kg. "There was no food when I gave birth to her," says Najwa. "If I wanted to feed myself so I could breastfeed her, I had no nutrients to make my health better... She now only drinks formula milk, and we don't know how we'll be able to provide it for her." Israel has banned international journalists from entering Gaza to report independently. According to Siwar's doctor, Ziad al-Majaida, "Nothing enters through the borders, no milk, food or anything. This leads to big problems here for the kids. This baby needs a specific type of milk. It was available before, but because of the border closure, the stocks have run out for a while now." Since the beginning of the year, according to the UN, about 10,000 cases of acute malnutrition among children have been identified. Food prices have rocketed by as much as 1,400%. Charity kitchens, which have helped hundreds of thousands of Gazans, are shutting as food supplies run out. Twenty-five bakeries supported by the World Food Programme have been forced to close. Israel cut off all humanitarian aid and other supplies from entering Gaza on 2 March, and resumed its military offensive two weeks later The United Nations has said the Israeli blockade constitutes "a cruel collective punishment" on civilians. The UN's humanitarian director, former British diplomat Tom Fletcher, said that international law was unequivocal. "As the occupying power, Israel must allow humanitarian support in... Aid, and the civilian lives it saves, should never be a bargaining chip," he warned. From the BBC reporter: I put this point to Boaz Bismuth, a leading member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party. He (Bismuth) denies there is an aid crisis caused by the blockade. "There is food in Gaza... Israel wouldn't do such a restriction if the population didn't have food. I mean, I know my country perfectly well," he (Bismuth) said. BBC reporter: I put it to Bismuth that he was denying the evidence of people's eyes, that children were starving. "There are not starving children. I repeat again." He (Bismuth) said that there had been allegations months ago of famine, ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza "which was crap". ----  ----  ---- A UK-based advocacy group for Israel has the nerve to claim war may reduce obesity in Gaza https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/10/uk-lawyers-for-israel-condemned-over-claim-war-may-reduce-obesity-in-gaza
    • Joel Crothers would have been perfect as Owen (maybe because Margo wasn't too far off Denise). A shame he couldn't have played a dual role. Eliot did have more room to grow. I wonder if whatever allegedly happened with Denny Albee played a part in both their exits.
    • Andre is the standout in the cast among the males when it comes to fashion.
    • Happy Mother's Day 2025!
