To me a lot of the time, it felt like Bruno and Pol would have the same story over and over. So it's best that he's not there until Pol chooses what he wants. I don't really know the drama with David and the show. But I do know that Pol would treat Bruno horribly and Bruno would get screwed over, so it's best that he's gone then if it's just gonna be Bruno being disappointed in Pol.
From the trailer and the description of the coming season, I'm guessing that Pol's ex from when he worked at the grocery store might be HIV positive and there is a chance that Pol has it too. (I mean it could be many things as well, but they say it will change him forever and that's just where my brain went.) Though I doubt that Pol will have it because he slept with many characters in the series, after that and that could mean they are as well. Perhaps it's just a wake up call to him, that he needs to be more careful and practice more safe sex?

The annoying thing, is we know from promos that they did film kisses and close behavior between them. The network or the show or someone else decided to cut them out and censors them. But yeah lets see TK's parents enjoying each other instead cause that's more important.
Though I'm glad they showed them talking things out and TK supporting Carlos, it was a bit short. I do hope we see more of their relationships and more storylines for Carlos.

Well they kinda jump into the middle at the start. I mean tackling TK's nuclear breakup, them figuring out what they were, addressing TK substance issues, then the whole TK getting shot. I don't think they ever really dealt with anything Carlos related, it was mostly about TK. So now it's time for him to get a story, I just hope it's not a cliché storyline. Plus with this kind of show, they do seem to go all about the drama.

I love how bossy Lexi was planning everything to make sure the engagement went through. I really do think she's gonna battle it out with Jay for Best Man at the wedding.

I just really hope whatever they have planned for Ethan and Luke that it's not a cliché affair behind Vic's back. Though have been done and done, they are just boring in my opinion. Lets come up with something new, that hasn't been seen already five million times. Honestly wasn't that big a fan of Robert and Aaron's affair behind Chrissie's back, though I didn't mind that as much because I loathed her character. But still it showed us nothing new and it's just a waste of time.

is the Mack actor gay IRL? I looked at his IG and he's got a rainbow flag with his preferred pronouns listed. I have no idea, maybe he's part of the rainbow or he's just an ally.

I thought Aaron and Ben had decent chemistry, but so much bad history to suddenly be romantic around each other. Aaron made Ben's early life a living hell, but that's all swept under the rug and they're gonna start dating? Yeah that doesn't really make sense. If they had actually had them be friends first and built on that, then perhaps they could had worked. Did like seeing Ben call Aaron out, Aaron is such a mess right now (I honestly don't think he's ready for anything right now) Aaron wasn't behaving the best and needs to sort himself out.
I do wonder if they plan on Mack and Aaron having a sexual relationship as well (off screen cause of covid) or Mack is just to stir up Aaron's dark Dingle side and stir up trouble. I do think Mack and Aaron find each other interesting and they like playing off each other, cause neither of them are boring with each other. Or they are just trying to find ways to play each other and mess with each other.

was it ever said whether Christian was gay or bi? I thought they said he was gay, but like daleeryohm mentioned above he couldn't stop sleeping with women I always thought they were both bi, but Olli leaned more towards boys and Christian leaned more towards girls. And they were great loves for each other, but Christian just couldn't stay faithful.

Couldn’t they find a more compatible, age appropriate guy for Ollie? They just don’t match. Though that kinda reminds me of Olli and Tom back in the day.

So they brought the show back with only a few of the characters or most of the cast? And what exactly is the premise?

Of course George has a darkness to him, it's a soap and he came across too nice at the start. Plus he's with John Paul and he's always had horrible taste in men.

I looked in at the start of their something cause I was curious and I do want Aaron to be happy. But honestly, it still feels rushed and forced. I don't think it's even been a year since Ryan left the show. I knew Aaron would find love again, (it's Aaron, of course he's gonna get a new man) but it doesn't feel organic or genuine happening so quickly.

I really want to see them flush out Felix and Benji, mainly because I love both characters. But also because they were lacking, nothing against Mia, but I would hope to see more on other characters, since she got so much attention last season. Like Andrew was in many ways the stereotypical, frat, bully jock who picks on others to make himself be bigger. But I'm sure there is more to him then that, just like there is more to Lake and to Pilar. Lets see more of other characters that got the short stick last season.
I also could see other characters exploring their sexuality in later storylines. But honestly I rather see the show focus mainly on Victor and his family, since there is still so little shows focused on Latino families and characters. Plus Felix, Benji, and their relationships with Victor, and their relationship with other people like their families. I don't want to exclude anyone, the others are important too, but there wasn't much of either boy last season. Though Felix got more as the best friend and since Benji is probably going to be the boyfriend. We need to see more of him, other than just being there to be on Victor's arm, he needs to be his own person too.

Perhaps Benji who just got out of a relationship with a very wrong person and whose been out for some time. Worries that Victor is rushing into things with him? Like sure Victor is out to his parents and sister, Felix, and some others know. Also what happened with Mia, the whole school might know soon enough. To go from one serious (even though it was a fake cover) relationship to another one right away, especially under the scrutiny is a lot to process, (plus Victor is a sensitive soul) especially at a young age.
Perhaps Benji worries that Victor isn't ready or should explore what else is out there before settling down with him. (Like in Schitt's Creek, how David talked about Patrick seeing what else was out there besides him as Patrick was newly out) But in Victor's mind, all he sees and wants is Benji, the show has never shown him desire anyone else close to Benji. I do think that Victor is ready to be out and to be with Benji, though doesn't mean there won't be some bumps along the way.
I do think that Victor and Benji will take that step, but way down the road in like a finale, or next season, or something. But hopefully then, they will show consent, they will show safety, they will show the deep feelings the boys have, and showing lgbt+ bedroom scenes in a positive light

Oh good, I get they are teenagers and hormones are raging. But I was worried that they would sex it up, just for the sexual drawl (like the CW) and not because it works for the story or characters. I mean I don't want them to censor them or not be realistic, but not have them acting like adults, when they are still kids. And honestly I always got the vibe from Victor, that though he's gay, he's kinda shy when it comes to more advance sexual stuff. Like he's not ready to take that step emotionally or mentally yet. I may be wrong, but I see him as the type, that is good with just hand holding and kissing for the moment. I wonder what the plan is for Covid filming? Like are they just gonna let some time pass, until it's stated to be safe to film certain things again? Or just have everyone stand very far from each other, what are they gonna do for school scenes? Or for any close moments between Benji and Victor or Felix and Lake? I have the same gut feel about Victor. I'm going to speculate that gay sex will be a barrier to Victor, given his religious upbringing, and the tension that creates with Benji (who is older and sexually active) may not be resolved until the tail end of season 2 (perhaps not even then). As for filming amid Covid-19, it will depend firstly on the authorities of the jurisdiction in which they film, and secondly the rules of the production itself. For instance, I notice B&B and Y&R are keeping actors very far apart (B&B is using mannequins and the actors' real-life partners for intimate scenes) whereas GH, which films in the same state, allows actors to get closer and even touch/embrace each other, but kissing is still off limits. Shortland Street is the only soap I've seen that has resumed kissing and sex scenes because New Zealand thought they had contained the Covid outbreak (that may change now that they've had a second outbreak). Love, Victor may be able to be less restrictive since the actors are all young, but they would need to sign off on that and not everyone will be comfortable, let alone what their agents and insurers will say! I think it's safe to say kissing/sex will be offscreen or use some digital tricks (maybe taking close-ups from last season's kisses). The other alternative is to postpone production until a vaccine is commercially available, but that would mean no new episodes until the very end of 2021, maybe even 2022. Euphoria is taking that step because they don't feel it's realistic or safe to resume filming under these conditions. They're going to end up having a 2-year gap between their first and second seasons, but they're proposing to do some "bridge" episodes to tide over fans until then. Maybe Love, Victor can do the same if they go down that route - some kind of mini episodes based on Felix and/or Lake, Mia, Andrew or Benji (characters not involved in the season 1 cliffhanger). Exactly with Victor's religious upbringing and the fact that he can get nervous and is sensitive, I don't see him at all ready for anything more advance sexual than kissing. I can see him freaking out over the fact that Benji is more advance/experienced and that Victor might be worried that he's not enough for Benji and that Benji will grow tired and bored of Victor quickly. Which could bring up a good conversation between Benji and Victor about sex and not rushing into anything until they are both comfortable and both want to take that step. How consent is still a very important thing, especially at a young age. I also see Benji being completely cool with Victor not being ready and Benji (who is also a big romantic) is happy with taking things slow and not leaving first base. It would show them talking about sex in a healthy way, being honest and communicating what they both want. Though there are several storylines that they could do that don't involve touching, it might be better to wait until more danger has passed. Though mini episodes could be good. I have seen some shows do filming with zoom moments (not all mention the pandemic) and have the characters talking to each other and approaching subjects.

I all for things being equal when it comes to LGBT couples and their sexuality compared to m/f romances. I just hope it's not all sexed up instead of actual feelings and a actual healthy relationships. And they are still just highschoolers and not adults. I doubt it's going to be sexed up. That article almost definitely is overselling the sex aspect. The actual quotes from the producer don't back up the idea that it will be a whole lot sexier. I think it is more a matter of reinserting the stuff Disney forced them to cut. Like Andrew's locker room scene, where the pilot script had him in boxer briefs but the filmed version replaced it with baggy shorts. Or Victor sneaking a peek at Benji in the changing room and seeing a split second of Benji shirtless. Those scenes may be a bit more revealing in season 2, but it's not like they are suddenly going to have nudity. Maybe a few more shirtless scenes, Victor sleeping topless instead of pj's (how many teen boys actually own those?) As for sexual contact, well, even before Covid-19, I didn't think we would get them going at it hot and heavy. It'll be more implied than anything else. Probably tamer than daytime soaps at their peak. More Nuke than Horita, if you get the references. And with Covid, even kissing is out! They do need to address the topic because Benji was obviously sexually active with his ex, and their straight counterparts are, so I can't imagine they go a whole season with Victor still a virgin. They're a pair of teenage boys, for crying out loud. Oh good, I get they are teenagers and hormones are raging. But I was worried that they would sex it up, just for the sexual drawl (like the CW) and not because it works for the story or characters. I mean I don't want them to censor them or not be realistic, but not have them acting like adults, when they are still kids.

I may be wrong, but I see him as the type, that is good with just hand holding and kissing for the moment. Yeah most guys I know, sleep in t-shirts and boxers, they don't really have pjs. But it's Disney, they are gonna baby proof every sharp corner. I wonder what the plan is for Covid filming? Like are they just gonna let some time pass, until it's stated to be safe to film certain things again? Or just have everyone stand very far from each other, what are they gonna do for school scenes? Or for any close moments between Benji and Victor or Felix and Lake?

I'm assuming she's out simply because she was a bad manager of the show. Season two was an absolute mess that made no sense and was a waste of time and money. Also considering a lot of the blacklash the show has gotten over certain storylines, I can see why the higher ups at CW would want to change things up with the way the current world is. And she's shown on several occasions that she's a petty and immature person when interacting with people on twitter, refusing to take even the smallest amount of criticism. Even if people are talking about things that are personal to them and have triggered them. I used to say it was her privilege showing. Malex is the biggest thing that show has to offer, they have eclipsed Echo as the main couple without even trying. Especially since she had them apart for most of season two. So Malex will be fine, CW is stupid, but they're not that stupid. I hope your Right Me too to be honest. It's just Malex reminds me of a lot of the CW big epic pairings that have come before them. And I mean in regards to their chemistry, their connection, their history, their intensity, their popularity, the fans campaigning for them to reunite and be happy, their epicness or cosmic in the boys case. Or in the words of Logan Echolls, "Spanning years and continents. Lives ruined and bloodshed. Epic." They are that kind of pairing. The CW loves those kinds of pairings, they are their money shot. Usually with these kind of pairings I have seen the CW are more likely to milk them dry than to destroy them. Though sadly that causes it's own kind of destruction, but that is another story.

Bruno has allowed himself to be be walked over too long by Pol. Bruno needs to walk away from Pol and any other guy that Pol has enjoyed. Bruno needs to let go of his feelings for Pol and get himself in order. And then find a guy who treats him well and not his play thing. Where Bruno tells Pol next that the only thing Bruno can offer Pol is friendship. And if Pol starts any of his bs again, then for Bruno to walk away or for him to reject Pol and stay only as a friend.
They both have so much growing up to do, but Pol especially needs to pull his head out of his behind. Stop being so selfish and thinking mainly with his downstairs friend. We know he's more considerate and thoughtful a few years down the line when it comes to his relationship with Bruno. So that they will have to have a major shift with their relationship.

I hope that the next we see them, that Bruno has not contacted Pol at all and has avoided him at school. That Bruno is focused on himself and his own studies. And hopefully that Bruno has found a relationship with a man who treats him right and they have a happy and healthy relationship.
Not because I want the drama of a triangle, but because Bruno simply deserves some happiness and a guy who treats him right.
That when they do interact again, that Bruno doesn't revert back to being Pol's doormat, and doesn't come running because Pol bats his eyelashes. That Bruno and Pol stay just friends and Pol has to work to redeem himself when it comes to Bruno and in general, since Pol has always been a selfish, self centered wanker.
I'm guessing the next time we see them, will be them rebuilding their friendship, Pol perhaps realizing he has feelings for Bruno, where Bruno rejects Pol, and this time around it's Pol holding a torch for his friend Bruno. Where it ends with them deciding to just be friends.

From what I have gathered from all that I have watched of their slow burn. Sully is gay and out, while Ash is probably bisexual and just starting to realize he likes both men and women. But the only person he has real feelings for are Sully.

What exactly is going on with them right now. Last I knew Ash kissed Sully and his brother saw and wasn't happy. Sully was done with Ash's bull and walked away leaving Ash devastated. But from little I have seen online, Ash has been looking at Sully with longing in his eyes.

I do think that Michael is going to absolutely lose it over the loss of Alex. And since Alex won't be back to the show until ep 12, I think Michael will have to face some things he's been avoiding.
And that Alex and Michael will have a real, deep, honest conversation on where they stand. I still don't think they will end up together until season three at the earliest. Cause you got to have the cheap drama.
But if the show ends this season with Michael still with Maria after building Malex up and giving us a hint that Michael is gonna go feral at the loss of Alex. And denying the insane chemistry and popularity of that pairing. To use them as a freaking carrot to dangle in front of people, than what's the point? She really will be destroying her own show if she keeps dragging them out, while everyone else gets smooth sailing. And Michael and Maria are being wasted being with each other, cause whatever chemistry they had is gone and mostly what happens in their scenes is basically sexual and boring.

I do think that Malex are Carina's baby, she knows they are a huge hit, so I have no doubt that they will rise from the ashes of that horrible scene. Knowing the CW, it will be big and it will be massive. Because they live for couples like this, they feed of the epics and the cosmics. They are their bread and butter of the network.
She can see the huge connection and chemistry between them. How things just flow naturally and organic between them and it's just magic to watch Tyler and Vlamis on screen together. But she's all about the drama, she's thrives on the drama. I see her more like Eris, the goddess of chaos. Where she doesn't want smooth sailing, she wants to play around with them as if they were toys to do her bidding. Never truly giving them a moments peace because the drama is more important than the story or the characters.
So I do see her using Malex as a toy monkey to make the audience dance to her tune. She thinks that she can pull whatever she wants and people will stick around and put up with her behavior because she has Malex.
One of the things I hate about all this stupid triangle stuff. (It's the CW, of course there is a triangle) Is that Maria is nothing more than a plot point in the grand design of Malex's love story. She doesn't deserve that, to be something used and played with like that. It limits her so much, she's Michael's friend with benefits, she's the "villain" who destroy her longtime friendship over a guy, she's an obstacle to keep Malex apart. It feels more like she's apart of Michael's story, than she has her own. Sure they have started to give her stuff, the visions that come from her family being experimented on back in the day. Though I don't think Carina will do the any of the racism aspects of the story justice. Considering the whole horrid Noah event and how she uses Maria as a prop now for Malex. I wonder if they will have her descent into madness like her mother or she will learn to manage them better?
I just hope that Alex gets to have some happiness with Forrest, I know like Maria that Forrest is just a plot point. A guy for Alex to spend time with so he can figure some stuff out. But Alex has already been through so much stuff, that I just want him to be happy, even if it's for a short while. This is Alex, she's gonna make sure he suffers in tragic horrible ways. Also I want to see a happy MlM love story, even for a short while. I love Malex, but it's just trauma, pain, angst, tragedy, longing, and drama over and over. There is no happiness moments to take a break and breathe. I'm sick of MlM and WlW always having the struggle while MlF get to have smooth sailing. I want to see some clear sunny skies for Forlex, at least at the start.
