Members Lust4Life76 Posted April 13, 2011 Members Share Posted April 13, 2011 I am going out on a limb here but I think Shane and Jack did a little "sexual experimentation" together and that's the motivation beind Jack's hate towards him. Trust me I am not putting this out there as a joke but it seems what with the nature of the harrassment and the fact that Shane always seems hopeful that Jack will reciprocate his feelings...I think that may be the big mystery that has yet to come.

Members All My Shadows Posted April 13, 2011 Members Share Posted April 13, 2011 Honestly, I really, really hope that's not the case. After the Kyle/Oliver fiasco, it's evident that someone at OLTL -- I don't know or care who -- isn't committed to telling a whole story featuring gay characters. And to hell with the "they had no connections" nonsense. I'd rather have connectionless Kyle and Oliver than Shane and self-loathing, abusive Jack. Never mind the fact that Jack = gay would be all about how Todd the rapist will cope with a gay son no matter what (I can already see the people jizzing over "OMG how will Todd react?!?!?!"). Al diablo con esa mierda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted April 13, 2011 Members Share Posted April 13, 2011 Yeah, granted I'm biased being a Kish fan, but I don't see them doing that. How exactly can you make Jack & Shane gay when, Kyle & Oliver are still in Llaneview never to be seen & rarely mentioned again, without opening up old wounds in regards to Kish being fired? Perhaps they should mend that fence first, before embarking on a new gay couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 I doubt OLTL are "going there" w/ Jack and Shane. And even if they were? No way would I want this to happen w/ Trishitty still playing Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 Before this story aired, I figured you could wait til the boys were a couple years older then tell a bi Jack story in which he and Shane went after the same girl, but he quietly held a torch for Shane as well; it would never really be articulated, even after they all became BFF in a weird Jules & Jim way, because they would both know it's there but Shane would be straight. I suppose you could still do that down the line with proper writing, but I somehow doubt Andrew Trischitta is the actor for the job, although so far he seems somewhat improved today (still watching, so the jury is out).

Members Khan Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thank you, Vee, for that Truffaut reference. How I would love to show this to people who believe soap fans on the Internet are uniformly unintelligent, inarticulate morons w/ no aesthetic sense and a sheep-like mentality.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 A Jules et Jim type story would be fascinating. I did think Jack seemed ever so slightly improved today--but maybe that was just cuz he had briefer scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 Jack going after Shane because one of them was gay, or they fooled around, or something related to being gay would have made this story so much better. I just cant even at wheezy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 Well, it ultimately wouldn't go anywhere. It would be background for the threesome's relationship (ideally, the third party would be Antonio Vega's daughter Jamie, who would end up with Shane), but never fully spoken of, at least not between them. Because that is how kids are, especially at that age, and Shane and Jack would just transition into being functional friends, with Jack the extrovert and Shane the more decent Joey type. And Jack would move on to other boys or girls, or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 It is kinda hard to believe that kids that age would tease someone about asthma, although some kids will bully other kids over anything I know, but "wheezy" sounds more like something you'd hear in elementary school.

Members Cheap21 Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 I noticed some potential gay tension between the two guys as it seemed Shane could have had a crush on Jack but I dont see OLTL going there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted April 14, 2011 Members Share Posted April 14, 2011 I just think Jack resents the fact that Shane's family appears to be less chaotic than his, so he's finding something about him that isn't "perfect," like his asthma, and choosing to bully and tease him about it in order to make himself feel better.
