Members MarkH Posted June 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 Don't shoot the messenger. You can actually trace the first gay storyline back to Young and Restless, and then to Days of Our Lives. AMC and OLTL really took it and ran with it, though.

Members EastMA2 Posted June 2, 2009 Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 Me neither. I've never believed there was a kissing ban. Everyone from CBS to P&G has always denied there was a kissing ban. I think that was just the over hyper Nuke fans who didn't have the patience to let the story to take it's natural course and made a mountain out of a molehill.

Members MarkH Posted June 2, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hmmmm. For that, we're gonna send her back to Y&R as Grace Turner, and make the writers deal with her again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted June 2, 2009 Members Share Posted June 2, 2009 I actually don't mind her as an actress, and I'm certainly not the kind of viewer to go to the "She's a man!" place that others do. Still though... that post made me literally laugh out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 When the camera pans away from a couple about to kiss I imagine there's *something* going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 I don't think Y&R has ever really been conservative. The Bill Foster Euthanasia SL was one of the most grounbreaking things in daytime history.... and as far as CBS as a whole, let's not forget Maude's abortion. It has taken Y&R a LONG time to get around to a gay SL, but Bill WAS going to try it in 1977... he just did it too soon, and went about it in the WORST way possible. And it was a time when soaps were still primarily watched by women and gay men... and which one of those groups wants to watch lesbians? Neither one.

Members All My Shadows Posted June 3, 2009 Members Share Posted June 3, 2009 Yeah, I can't stand Nuke and even I thought that whole thing was messed up big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
