The actor who played Miquel was in another gay story line I found of youtube. I think that Portugal sees gay story lines as a public service message. In Portugal gays have more right than in the USA or Germany, but they don't have prime time shows to develop gay character faraway that the typical soap fanfare. Os nossos dias storyline is a daytime soap and o beijo do escorpiao is a telenovela, in that type of formats it will take time to gay characters being treated like straigth ones (in fact in any of the USA soaps the gay characters are treated like the straight ones)

I still have such fond memories of this show. When I discovered it on youtube being posted regularly by SafeLight I think he was only up to something like episode 4 or 5. So every week or fortnight I'd watch his latest update, and I really got hooked on the story of Paulo and Miguel. Sure it was a bit hokey at times, and melodramatic, but it also had real heart and the boys had great chemistry. I loved that they soon became the most stable couple on the show.
I also fell in love with the little glimpses of Lisbon, where the show was set. So much so that in September 2015 I went on a tour of Portugal and Spain, and even added a few days in Lisbon on my own before the tour started. I had such an amazing time, made lifelong friends (two of whom are about to have their very own gay wedding in Canada and I'm a guest), and absolutely fell in love with Portugal. So in a strange way the show sowed a seed that became a much bigger life experience.
