While it might not yet be as visible as the str8 couples we've seen a lot more physical intimacy between Smitty and Martin lately vs. the first couple weeks. And I think the handling of the Chelsea situation has been very forthright. I don't see them hiding away their gays yet.

I have so many episodes to catch up to... I don't know how I'm going to do it. I'll dedicate the next weekend on this.

And I think I saw her on a promo for THE CHI this past week as well, but I might have been wrong on that. 

One of the actresses certainly has a similar voice. I was wondering the same thing.

I think Telma and Jonelle are too old. 

Tonya Pinkins is a good choice. 

I like Tonya too.

If Claybon is married to a woman I'm the Archduke Ferdinand.

That part!

You know how some folks do. Deny what's dead in their face.

I was the Beyond the Gates Facebook page and they are speculating about Mike Manning's and Brandon Claybon's real life sexual preferences.

I have to sit back and laugh out loud at the pure ignorance.

Supposedly, Brandon Claybon is reluctant to kiss Mike Manning because he's married to a woman. 😐

I just can't.

Thank God, most people who post on this site have some sense.

If he won't kiss Mike Manning  then recast the role of Martin 

The 30 year old teenager looks like she could be Smitty's mother's age 🥴

Well given the last new episode had Smitty trying to make time for some bed time, I feel like they will get around to Smitty and Martin soon enough. Unless his secret pops out first that is.

It does seem that now that Tricia is on the rise...anything she's been in...is being actively promoted.

This is a name I forgot but you may have hit the jackpot with this suggestion. She would be fantastic! And visually I think she'd fit right in.

Brandon is very clearly gay. The joke is that Facebook viewers are so out of touch they don't know these things. All it takes is one look at his instagram and you can see whats up.

Some of the Canadian viewers are saying they got a new episode, can any Canadians confirm? 

I'm not Canadian.

but this tweet is from a reliable account

-- posting partial screengrab of the tweet,
(with images removed)
 because it shows who is in the episode.
I'll post the full tweet on the spoiler thread.
