It seems that the veteran spanish series (they are in the 18th season, usually two seasons per year) is introducing a gay storyline (or not, it'not clear yet). The show has a prominent lesbian couple, who are front and central (and both actress are very popular), and as an hospital show, they usually have episodic gay storylines. In the last couple of seasons they have a secondary gay character (brother of one of the main characters) who appear from time to time. But it seems they are trying something different this time. They have one character, Boni, he apear two or three seasons ago. He is a paramedic, who studies when he was in jail (he kill someone driving under the influence). He was in jail when he appears for the first time, in the third degree, so he worked on day, and go to the jail at night. But he is free right now, and he gets the job. His character was centered in his personal issues, and his (bad) relationship with his boss, but right night he and his boss are friends so it's only centered on his job. Till now the character was implyed as straight, he hadn't any relationship (that i remembered) but by his comments all indicate that he is straight. A couple of episodes ago he was really thrilled because he was meeting a girl who knows online, and he said that he was in love, because they have a lot in common and they talk every day. But of course, he made a mistake, because the girl was a guy. He reacted very bad to the situation, but he miss him, and continue to text him and being in contact. In the last episode he is more and more confused so he ask Esther for advice. Esther is one of the lesbian characters, but he was in love with a guy at the begining, and only came out as a lesbian when she met Maca. He spends no time in guess the situation, and advise him to try a date with the guy, because the other way he will never know what happens. In the next episode boni and the guy will have a date, so we'll see how this will develop You can see complete episodes in this web page www.telecinco.es/hospitalcentral/

It seems the story will have a slow pace. Boni was teased all the day by his colleages about his "girlfriend" (only Esther knows that Boni love interest is a guy), and finally he decides to date the guy. He was very nervous, and drink a little too much, Mendi (the guy) has to go home soon, and he kiss Boni before he leave. And Boni looks very, very confused
The rest of Boni storylines has to do with his work, and there's nothing about this storyline in the preview for next week

It's always like this with soaps/series. They focus on different people and different storylines in the episodes. I'm sure they will continue with this storyline too. But I guess you're right, we have a slow burn storyline, but I don't mind. As long as it's done well Wow! we get a kiss too?

What problem does valeria have with Boni? Well, i don't remember well those episodes (i only watch the series from time to time), but i think she had a relationship with Raul, and Raul really hated Boni. As i say i don't remember well, but i think Raul wanted someone else to the job, and then he discovers that Boni was in jail. They get really bad. And Valeria always had a bad temper

Well, i don't know if tomorrow's episode was the end of the gay storyline, or only a temporary end. Boni has to deal with some hospital things, but he end dating Mendi again at Mendi's home. They get very well, but the truth when Mendi starts kissing boni, he freaked a bit. He can't deal with the physical interaction. Boni talks to Esther, and she tell him, that he did what he had to do, he tried but he can't. Mendi went to the hospital (so Boni's partners know now that he dated a man), he apologize for pushing thing a bit, but Boni tell him that he can't continue dating him. Boni tries to stay friend but it's pretty obvious that Mendi really likes Boni and he don't want to be friends.
And basically that's all by now. I really don't think that's all about it, because Boni is a minor character, and till now he didn't have any relationship on the show (at least that i remember) so i doubt that this end here. We'll se in next episodes

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

Someone (AlbercaTR) left this comment on the latest video uploaded on YT as a reply to another comment:
Regarding the comment by 10rOlDAN10, I've read a summary of 18x13 stating the following: "Por otro lado, [...] y Mendi recibe una paliza que pone en peligro su vida." I.e., Mendi is beaten up and his life is at risk.
In a summary of 18x14 we can read: "El estado de Mendi es crítico lo que provoca el derrumbe emocional de Boni." I.e., Mendi's health is critical, which causes Boni's emotional breakdown
(10rOlDAN10 wrote: The story between Boni and Mendi will last only 3 more chapters. And in the last one Mendi dies.)

Argg, i'm totally sick and tired of gay bashing storylines. So if finally Boni is not gay (i'm not really sure of that) i don't really understand the point of all this.

I didn't know Boni before homonikum uploaded this storyline, anything about his life, his former relationships but as Mendi reminded Boni in their first date "You said you had never felt so connected to someone as you do to me". OK, maybe Boni is not gay...but I'm pretty sure he likes Mendi, the problem is...how much does he like him? I think it's not so rare that a straight person could love a same sex person. Boni seems really interested in Mendi ....above all when he's able to forgive that Mendi is a man (an open gay man). He really enjoyed spending time with him as much as It seems quite obvious that it's not easy for him accepting to be romantically involved with a man. In my opinion Boni'd have needed more time. Time to realize what he's feeling for Mendi, while, instead, Mendi pressured him...letting Boni run away... Maybe the risk of losing Mendi...would help Boni to understand how much he cares about him and accepting to love a man. sorry for my bad english

I have to be honest, i don't like the turn of this storyline at all. Kill a secondary character only to make one main character realize something it's a little cheap. This reminds a film of the 90's (i don't remember the titlle) where a lot of characters had aids, the straight characters find love in the film and the gay one died with only his mother's company. HC can't be accused of being homophobic, because the show is very pro gay, but maybe because this is the fourth gay bashing i watch in a month, i'm not very receptive to this. It's obvious that Boni is struggling with his feelings, i don't know if he is gay or just fell for Mendi, but i think it'll be a lot more interesting letting the character discover that without an overdramatic plot. Maybe i won't be so against this if it wasn't a gay bashing, the truth is that the show like this dramatic twist, at the begining the kill a lot of main characters, and a couple of seasons ago, they killed Lola, who was my favourite character, and she was in the middle of the romantic plot of the season. Maybe the best is watching first and then judge
