Caroline already knows she has two mothers,but the good people of Los Angeles (where B&B is based) don't know the truth.She'll reveal it to boyfriend Thomas Forrester and her uncle-and Karen's brother-Bill (Don Diamont).The episodes that will include the Chappell's debut in mid-May.
The CBS soaps have aired gay story lines before.Besides the popular Olivia-Natalia storyline on Guiding Light,there was also Luke and Noah (Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann) on As The World Turns.But this is a first for B&B,CBS half-hour sudser that's been on the network since 1987.
Meanwhile,NBC's Days Of Our Lives is struggling to gain traction its first-ever gay story line that began last summer.Though the soap ended up making far sexier moves,bringing back fan faves like Deidre Hall,Drake Hogestyn,Patrick Muldoon and Christie Clark,the changes haven't made a huge impact on the bottom line.
