Just from reading the article I'm not really sure what to think about it just yet. I will tune in because of Jared Padalecki though.

Well, that casting makes me more likely to watch. After 15 years of Supernatural, I wasn't really that enthusiastic about more Jared.

Chuck Norris will not be happy about this.
I don't know if it'll work, the show was pretty conservative in its original form.
Alex Landi is getting all gay boyfriend roles

Yeah, given Norris's views on same-sex marriage, I can see him stewing about this. Serves him right. I don't think we need a lecture about the sanctity of marriage from someone who cheated on his wife and had an illegitimate child during their marriage.
I was skeptical about the premise largely because of Norris's legacy, but Alex will definitely get me tuning in - IMO, he's probably the hottest guy on US television right now. (Shallow note: if only one of his gay roles would be as revealing as Insatiable was.) Hopefully his character is treated better on this show than he is on Grey's.

As far as i remember, Walker has a conservative audience in the USA but it was not a particularly conservative show. In fact it has a black lead when it was less usual than now.
We'll see what happens (in terms of Grey's anatomy, that show took ages to have a gay character and it only works because Borelly is a good actor able to make likeable a character with many traits to be hated)

Well Walker is lucky it's on The CW. I don't know about that, the CW and MTV are two channels with a reputation for young, progressive audiences, yet their shows took just as long as the main networks to feature gay characters in any meaningful role and in many cases did a worse job at fleshing out those characters. I suspect it ultimately comes down to the showrunner's confidence in pushing those storylines and whether they receive pushback from network executives who skews more conservative than their viewers. Just look at Teen Wolf and Riverdale.

I'm not that sure of that. First it doesn't seem to be the show (if it's like the original) that CW usual audience follows. And in terms of gay storylines CW tends to underperform big time

Alex and Jared will probably get me to tune in at least for the first few episodes. Hope it is good

Watched the premiere. The Liam character seems to be a supporting role but he's close to his brother Cordell (the title character). He mentioned his boyfriend Brett at least twice during the episode but Brett did not appear in the pilot.
It seems Liam (and Brett) were parenting Cordell's teenage kids (along with Cordell's parents) while their dad was undercover for a year, so the writers seem to be tying Liam into the family side of the drama.
Overall I was let down by Liam (& of course Brett)'s role in the pilot but there's still room for more given what the pilot's introduced.

The ratings were apparently very good for a CW show, but that was to be expected since JarPad has a solid following from Supernatural.
I, too, hope Liam will get an expanded role as the series progresses but the early indications are not good. His boyfriend being a recurring guest who doesn't even appear until later in the season is not a good sign.
And this is the CW, whose reputation for meaningful gay male representation is pretty poor. I suspect tokenism and stereotypes are the best we can hope for. My learning from experience with this particular network is keep your expectations very low, then whatever scraps they throw at us will be less disappointing, and if they do miraculously give us strong gay drama, then we can be pleasantly surprised.

I wonder if the CW or Fox has any Male Gay writer? these two networks are really bad with Gay Male Characters however they seem to do great with Lesbiens

A very dramatic ending to the latest episode of Walker. It's already aired but I will put it behind spoiler tags just in case. Liam is shot in the heart by Walker's enemies - another dead gay?

Why are you even watching a CW show? Not to be rude, but we all know CW treats their gay (male) characters like shit.

I don't think they kill him. At least not so soon.
The backstory is very dramatic and this would be just too much too soon
