Nooo... I don't think you're seeing it. People keep saying that because that's all Bianca's hooked up with.

  • Sarah Livingston: Married a man.
  • Laura Kirk English: Flirted but not gay.
  • Frankie Stone: Slept with JR
  • Lena Kundera: Slept with MichaelCambias, flirted/slept(?) with Boyd.
  • Maggie Stone: Had romantic and sexual relationships with Henry, Jamie and Jonathan.
  • Zarf: Enough said.
  • Reese Williams: Had a male fiance and made out with Zach.
  • Marissa Tasker: Slept with the Chandler men.

Bianca has never had a woman who was a confident, secure, undisputed "gold star" lesbian as a love interest. That's the problem. We know that these "late in life" lesbians exist. Hell, that's the only tale they've told with the Bianca character the minute she came out of the closet. Every last woman was either straight until Bianca or chose a man over Bianca because of the cliched excuse of societal expectation. Bianca's the only lesbian who's been on this show who has never been in a relationship with a man, or even had sex with a man to sort out her confusion. The most she did was get tanked and go out on a botched date with Marcus back in high school. It's a blatant attempt at the "creative team" trying to keep their options open with female character... in case they might want to test her out with a male character -- since that's the story they're most comfortable telling anyway.

And, I have to say, from my perspective as an openly homosexual male, I can't relate to Bianca being out for nearly as long as I have, yet constantly falling for someone who has ZERO LIFE EXPERIENCE being out. She really seems stuck behind the eight ball and probably needs someone with experience, rather than yet another fresh-from-the-oven lesbian.

Exactly. We have no reason to believe that she only only likes guys since her past is a blank. I can definitely buy Marissa as bi. She just happened to fall in love with a guy in PV and now she might be falling for a woman. Being bi would certainly make Marissa at least 10% interesting!

To be fair, Lena was bi and at some point this was clearly established.

It would be interesting to see how Bianca reacted to him, as well. This could really open a lot of old wounds, maybe start some healing. I think he'd be really supportive. And I think even Jack like Marissa, of course Erica won't. LMAO IF this is done right, it could be a decently told story.

    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
