I don't want to be rude, but if you don't want to even show a kiss, i don't see any reason to make a gay storyline at all. Nobody expect steamy sex scenes on a soap, but if you won't allow any kind of PDA it makes no sense for me to plan a gay storyline. And to be honest, it's pretty weak for a country like Australia

I think we should wait and see, the show may surprised us (regardless of what the producer said). Soaps like to gauge the response of their audience. I'd say let the storyline play out and see what they ultimately decide to do with the characters. It's still very early.

While I don't like the idea of not showing PDA, I still think they should tell the story anyway. It was years before we saw male affection on soaps and in television, but shows still had gay characters. Luke and Noah didn't kiss for over a year and we never saw them in bed. Heck it took them two years to have sex. Should those stories not have been told? Where would we be if they hadn't? You have to start somewhere. Unfortunately in many situations, baby steps must be taken.

Sorry but this is 2011, if you don't want to show a miserable kiss (luke and noah kissed twice before the ban, and the ban was dued to conservative groups pressure, not something they did on purpose from the begining) i don't think it's worthy. Of course you can intrudece a gay character and tell an interesting story with him (not everything has to be about romance) but if you have a couple and you don't want them to act like a real couple, the story just doesn't have any reason to exist. And i don't think it's good to the show either, because they will recieve a lot of backlash, specially if they only do that to a gay male storyline.
And the country is another thing to consider, i can accept that kind of storyline in Brazil or in Korea, but not in Australia and not in 2011. It's the same kind of failing that we have in Morangos con açucar in portugal, but at least in portugal we have the example of nightime soaps, that start the same way but evolved positively in the following years, so the tendency probably will be the same in the daytime teenage soaps

Does anyone have a link to Chris' story away from YouTube? I'm in the UK and can't watch the clips from Antony thanks to the copyright.

picklehorse -- go to page 5 in this thread -- I posted several links to non-youtube sites with Chris's story a couple of weeks ago.

Wow, how did I miss that? Must be blind, but none of those have full listings for the story. Thanks anyway!

One of the dailymotion accounts posts a Chris update roughly each week -- so at least you will be able to keep up with the current storyline. I looked around, but couldn't find any other places with just Chris's story.
