You are quite right KevC. Spirtas is definitely gay and did his job at Days very well.

I doubt if most of the audience even suspected that he was gay given how well he seemed to cover it up.

The same is true about Kyle Lowder. I have heard that many in the cast were shocked when he married Arianne Zucker.

In daytime, I think the phrase "don't ask, don't tell" applies.

That's so crazy! I don't understand why it matters. Even if a soap hunk is gay, it's not going to stop me from thinking he's hot and nice to look at. :blink: These network people need to get a life and not worry about what people are doing in their private lives. I never knew Days was a conservative show. How ironic.

I could care less if Brandon Beemer is Gay or with Lance Bass. He's a very good-looking guy and if he's with Lance Bass who cares? It shouldn't really matter either way and his job shouldn't be in question because of it. Hollywood is full of Gay actors and they are coming out all the time. Can we say Neil Patrick Harris, T.R. Knight and even Lance Bass. Gay or Straight, it's 2007 does it really even matter that much anymore?

This was talked about in the chat last night and it was established that they just friends. And even if it were true and they were dating, Days would be bringing on a whole lot of trouble they don't need by firing BB. Whoever said he should be fired for this is on crack. GLADD would be all over Days so fast their head would spin.

But look at the "safe" choices they were given as leading ladies. Even Geary has now been relegated to playing Professor Wallingford against Elliott's dragon lady. Once they're out, any romance they're given is mostly played for laughs with a wink to the audience.

Because the main audience of soaps are women who want to watch these men they think they can have. And, it would take away in their minds the validity of the love he has with his on-screen woman.

Not saying I agree necesarrily, but I can see it.

WHO'S GAY; WHO'S NOT...

THERE HAS BEEN A LONG HISTORY OF GAYS IN SOAPS, IN FRONT AND BEHIND THE CAMERA.

Edge of Night had a huge gay cast for a 30 minute soap

Joel Crothers (Miles) died of AIDS

Dennis Parker (Derek) died of self-inflicted gun shot wound after battling AIDS;was in straight porn but had a male lover (I met DP at Uncle Charlies in the 1980s; he was gorgeous and sweet; I'm a fag hag and was there with my brother)

The guy who played Calvin Stoner was gay and also died of AIDS.

Now...the current crop:

GL has no gay male actors that I know of. I think Maureen Garrett is a lesbo (you go girl), but it's easier for single women in soaps to stay single without the gossip and without losing their jobs.

Behind the scenes: Doug Marland was gay and not in the closet but the rags don't care about behind the scenes people. My brother wishes Frank Valentini were in the family because he's so cute, but we can't confirm. Although, look at the show, it's the most homoerotic next to Passions with its hunks galore....

Christian LeBlanc (Michael on YR) is gay; he's more out now and no one seems to care.

No one on Passions will admit to being gay, but my brother's gaydar is on overdrive everytime he sees that show. WOW...I don't care who's married or not, I'd say that all the men are gay on that show. One can only hope...

Some get married to deflect. THere were many rumors about Jacob Young and the guy who played Nicholas Cassadine 2 and Tony Santos 2. But Jacob is getting married or gotten married. You be the judge....

We wish all our boys and girls could be free, but in the entertainment industry, it's all about selling an image.

It's ashame.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
