Yay Thanks

I am finding it difficult to figure Dan out..
I would say he has all the characteristics of repressed gay: He wants the conventional life with the pretty wife, the white picket fence, the fancy job, but when emotions run high, his true self shows, like when he kissed Malick.
Also, it was probably smart (from Dans persepctive) that he didn't touch Stephen, because after talking to him, Dan let his guard so much down, that he was ready for a kiss right in front of the hospital.

Based on those things, I would say Dan was gay. Also because he twice have used Chrissie to prove his "straight-ness", both after Malick, and when Stephen made his move.
But Chrissie confuses me. Is he in love with her, or is she just a friend who he uses as a beard? Finding it difficult to figure out what the writers are trying to show us...
If Dan is in love with her, and is bisexual, then that might make sense... Stephen at one point said something like, "You wouldn't be the first man to want different things"... that could both be a reference to being bisexual, or it could be wanting the conventional life, while wanting men...

In a spoiler, it says that Dan will tell Chrissie "let's go into our marriage with no secrets" and then he tells her. Now, I don't quite know what he tells her. That he is bisexual? That he kissed a man? That he is confused? He might be gay? I don't knoooow!
But later, Chrissie will struggle to accept Dan's sexuality while being fitted for a wedding dress. Now, if he has told her "I am gay", then surely she wouldn't be in a wedding dress? So this makes me think bisexual again...
But, I don't know... I guess I haven't seen so many bisexual storylines that I know what to expect...
But I am thinking... If he is bisexual... And is in a committed relationship with a person he loves.. Why would he be kissing other blokes as soon as he lets his guard down? But then again, this is a TV-show... Probably for the drama :b

I am actually surprised just how excited I am about this storyline! It has had some long brakes, but now that it seems to be going, I hope more people will join in on the speculations etc

Gidi, I didn't have time to go and dig out the reference earlier. The returning character if you are interested is Dominic -- who had a brief storyline with Malick.

Here is the original article:

www.digitalspy.com/soaps/s19/holby-city/news/a515905/holby-city-confirms-two-new-characters-dominic-return.html

And the text from the article that focuses on Dominic's character:

Elsewhere, the reappearance of David Ames's character is bound to raise eyebrows at the hospital, as viewers last saw Dominic leave Holby in shame after jeopardising the career of colleague and mentor Antoine Malick.

The pair had a one-night stand but Malick later rejected Dominic, causing him to lie under oath in order to get revenge. As he makes his return, Dominic will have to work hard to regain his standing with his colleagues as they wonder whether he can be trusted.

I was blindsided by this announcement, it didn't even occur to me that our soaps were vulnerable to cancellation. Really sorry to see Holby go.
