I would like to see Bruno dealing with his issues, his fatphobia and his antgayness. I don't know why you guys are so opposed to Bruno and Oliver being together, Oliver has a lot to teach Bruno and it would be nice to see a fem gay have space on a tv for once.

I think most people are basing it on the fact that Bruno had a crush on Pol, and Oliver is pretty different from Pol so it is hard for people to see them together except for the whole only two gay characters factor.

I think it's certainly possible there will be more between Bruno and Pol in season two. Their relationship seems a little more central than the ones between the other students. They are both the closest to Merli. Bruno is his son, of course, and Pol is his favorite. So while they both may get new love interests in season two, the real "action" may be how they each react to the other appearing to move on. I think it would be particular interesting to see how Pol handles Bruno having a boyfriend - especially if the guy is bad news for Bruno. Although Pol is physically attracted to women, I think it's possible he's in love with Bruno. The show made it clear in season one that Pol hasn't experienced love with any of the women he's been with. Such a body-soul split is just the kind of philosophical question that Merli (the show) likes to explore. Despite their differing sexualities, Pol and Bruno could be soul mates. We've seen this before in shows. I don't believe Christian had an interest in men in general beyond Olli. When he strayed, it was always with women. And I can't imagine Craig hooking up with another guy after it ended with JP. Christian was Olli-sexual and Craig was JP-sexual. Pol might be Bruno-sexual. The needs of his soul might defeat the needs of his body.

If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but less magical.

Well it is possible to fall for one person and want to be with them in all ways emotionally, sexually, romantically, mentally, etc even if they are not the gender you are normally attracted too. Sexually isn't so black and white, so perhaps Bruno is the only one that Pol can care for as a male and as a lover since he hasn't had anything real before.

Wow... Bruno looks so different with more hair... For a second, actually thought they replaced the actor.
I hope they explore Pol's situation a bit more next episode, especially with his family demands. I'm not sure how I feel about Bruno's offscreen boyfriend in Rome. It feels like a way to say he is gay without actually showing anything on screen.

I'm not sure how I feel about Bruno's offscreen boyfriend in Rome. It feels like a way to say he is gay without actually showing anything on screen. I believe it's more of trying to show that Bruno is moving on, but I bet when he spends more time with Pol, his feelings for him will re-emerge. I mean just take a look at how he looks at Pol when he visited Pol at work. The longing stares. And he is not convincing that he told Pol he has moved on. The writers know these 2 make good chemistry and I am sure they will exploit that. But I am just worried the new girl from Ukraine may hook up with Pol given she is a bad girl herself. And I believe she will see Pol as her next conquest. That's just me thinking.

It's a real joy to be able to watch this wonderful show. Thanks, RKFanvidder!
I ended up liking Bruno's hair by the end of the episode. He's so dreamy. <sigh>
I think that scene between Bruno and Pol is a good sign as far as there eventually being more romance of some kind between them. I mean, they could have been using that scene to dispose of their previous story line, but there were subtle clues that its not over between them. Bruno clearly hasn't really moved on and they still have a special connection. The look Pol gave towards Bruno after Bruno left was dripping with love, I thought. I suppose Bruno's boyfriend will come to town eventually. Perhaps he won't be such a great guy and Pol gets protective of Bruno. I would enjoy a story like that.
Other scenes I liked was when Merli reminded Bruno of the time he let him play with dolls and when Pol realized his father was just using the money he earned to buy luxury junk.

It was so sweet and honest... it's always really nice to see such a tender representation of a dad-son relationship like that!

I think Bruno longer hair suits him and he looks super cute.
There is still so much chemistry between Bruno and Pol, I think Bruno "thinks" he's moved past his feelings for Pol. But then they are around each other again and it shows that it's still strong. They have a special deep connection that I don't think either truly realizes. I think Bruno's Rome boyfriend will pop up later in the new season causing issues. And I think it will cause some jealousy issues with Pol that will be him having to address his feelings.
I don't think anything too big will happen between the boys, maybe a drunken kiss and some longing looks. But nothing too crazy, it's only a second season and there are other things to get up to.

Nobody has any comments on this latest episode? I guess nothing interesting happened, but I do like the new teacher and the assignment she gave Bruno. I wonder why Bruno is so intrigued by her? Bruno seems a little wiser and more open/vulnerable this season. He was actually kind of a jerk last season and very closed off, of course, because he was closeted.

Bruno doesn't have much of a story line so far, which is frustrating. That mention that Nicola might visit for a few days is foreshadowing, I hope. Looks like something is going to happen between Ivan's mother and Pol. At least she isn't someone who could steal Pol's heart away from Bruno. At least, that's my assumption. For all we know it could turn into a serious relationship. But I doubt it.
For those who are curious about what Merli said to Gerard when he called him out of class, he told him to get over the fact that Monica is with Joan and to open his eyes to the fact that there are other women in the world. By the end of the episode Gerard realizes that the new girl, Oksana, likes him. However, it looks like Monica and Joan are headed for the rocks, so Gerard might find himself pulled between Monica and Oksana.
Oliver has a bigger role this season and our tight focus on Bruno betrays our superficiality. It betrays my superficiality at any rate. It's true that Bruno is more central and a more established character - and also extremely good looking - but Oliver is also a gay character in a soap who has a fair amount going on right now and so we should probably discuss him more. In this episode Oliver is having problems with his parents being so critical of him and he takes it out a bit on Ivan, who has become his closest friend. When Ivan tries to comfort Oliver, Oliver kisses him several times, but Ivan puts an end to that. He's straight, but he's not offended or mad that Oliver kissed him. Having experienced that and gotten past it, Oliver and Ivan become even closer friends.
I think it's not out of the question that something could happen between Bruno and Oliver down the road. Oliver doesn't seem to be Bruno's type, but he could grow on Bruno. They also could just have sex and then have to deal with the complications of that.
