Kingdom

[dmagiclight]

I found two new coming TV series which will have LGBTQ characters the first is called Kingdom It is a Direct TV original series WITH Nick Jonas

The Other Is How to Get Away with Murder

Frankly, i'm not that sure that Kingdom will have any gay character. I know there's rumoured there's a secret linked to Nick Jonas character sexuality, but that doesn't mean the character is gay (in fact there are rumours that the secret has nothing to do with him being gay)

Maybe this thread should be renamed the Kingdom thread, since there is already a "How to Get Away with Murder" thread (http://gaydaytime.proboards.com/thread/1748/get-away-murder). That way if a gay storyline actually pans out on Kingdom there will be a thread for it.

[dmagiclight]

good point I was unaware of A thread for How to Get Away with Murder

God, I hope this will not be a(nother) fakeout. I'm so psyched by the image of Nick Jonas:
1) kissing guys
2) getting naked

If both happen at the same time, I will spontaneously combust.

If neither happens, I will have no faith in humanity anymore.

[jjose712]

I still think people are jumping on this too soon. The show looks good, but Nick Jonas only said he had naked scenes and the character has a secret linked to his sexuality, wich doesn't mean he is gay or bi at all (and i heard rumours the character is dating a woman)

[justinate]

Another interview hinting at Nick's character being "sexually ambiguous" - but I guess we need to keep our hopes low since it seems they are very secretive - not sure if they don't want to lose Nick's female fans (if the character is gay) or gay fans (if the character is straight).

They could just be stringing us along to get A bigger premiere episode rating I think he will turn out to be bisexual then never be with a man but we will have to wait and see

[jjose712]

Let's be fair, he never said that the character is gay or bi, he said that he has a secret linked to his sexuality, wich of course could have no link to his sexual orientation but to his sexual behaviour.

People think to link Nick's interviews in gay media with this role, but in my opinion his sudden love for the gays has a lot more to do with his singer career (wich is doing really fine right now) than with this show. Of course he has a show to promote and he did it in the interviews, but in my opinion if the "secret" was that his character is gay or bi, they will tell it, so i think it's not

Anyone seen the first episode?

I'm not quite sure if I like it yet... I need to watch a couple of more episodes to be sure.

It seems like the show has great potential but they definitely need to flesh out the characters more. I feel like I've seen some of these characters before and I hope there'll be some twists in the story lines.

It would definitely be interesting if Nick Jonas' character turned out to be gay or bi. There hasn't been (any?) gay or bi fighters/wrestlers on American tv before, so that would be a nice surprise. And it would be another thing to bring to the father/son dynamic, which seem like it's going to be a big part of the show. I would love to see that. 

So far so good.

[dmagiclight]

saw the first ep I liked it Nick character did not seem to be into the girls at all more focused on the fight so we will see

[moonstruck-me]

Thank you dmagiclight. I don't know why it doesn't show up on the websites I usually use... but thanks for confirming it should be there.

Kingdom was renewed for a second season -

[dmagiclight]

well Kingdom Is on it;s 4 ep and so far you have not seen anything even related to Nate's alleged sexual confusion I guess is A good word,It looks like the show is going to have him hook up with his therapist which is Meaghan Rath (Sally Malik) from Being Human us version which I love that show and her character on It
so the people who said that jumping to soon was right and he will be A straight character how ever the show does have some good aspects about so I might keep watching at least the first season anyway

[jjose712]

Anyway, they have to deliver something. You can't go the whole circuit of interviews saying there's a secret linked to his sexuality (that doesn't mean that the character is gay or even confused about his sexual orientation) and then don't go there.

I always was reluctant to the hype of "there's a gay character on Kingdom" because the truth is Nick Jonas never said that, he said there were nude scenes and there was a secret linked to the sexuality of the character, period.
Anyway, if my memory doesn't fail i think he said they will go there by the end of the season, so whatever it's that secret it probably won't delivered till the last episodes

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Nothing will happen until the last episode and it'll probably only be a heated look between Nate and another guy.

Oh well.

[moonstruck-me]

So, Nate's new physiotherapist is Diego, played by Jai Rodriguez. Could this be something?

[dmagiclight]

I sure hope so

[jjose712]

Well, Nick's character has sex with a woman in next episode. Anyway having sex with a woman can't be the secret linked to his sexuality (the scene it's pretty conventional)

[Haru]

yep something happened between Nate and this guy from high school

the way he touched him, his mother's face and later his aggressive behavior
