Recent interview from Julie Plec.
The Alex and Michael relationship is really important to me, because I feel a big responsibility to viewers to sort of make them feel safe. I know that LGBT audiences have felt burned a lot in the past, by the whole "bury your gays" trope. I wanted to tell a story that doesn't necessarily have a happy ending — I can't make any promises — but that certainly avoids stepping into tropes. Their relationship is very fraught, and it's going to be a really long journey for the two of them.
On that note, Alex is gay, Michael is bisexual, and we will be exploring Michael's relationships with women on the show too. I think there's a real lack of bisexual representation on TV, and I want to make sure that my show fills a gap that I'm seeing. It also felt like a good opportunity to explore having a gay relationship in a part of the country that's not New York or L.A. A part of the country where you're still facing very real and very loud hatred. That sort of small town, country, cowboy mentality was incongruous with the life that Alex planned on living, and that's the story that we're telling — a guy who fell into conforming to what he thought he was supposed to be, and can't sustain that because it's not his truth.

I think Michael and Alex will be fine. Julie Plec did say that they were her favorite couple on the show in an interview.

It's tv. Producers erase those moments like they never even happen.

So from what I read it is suppose to be Michael and Alex played by Michael Vlamis and Tyler Blackburn who were both straight in the original. I loved the original so it seems a little weird for it to be those two.

Well this is the CW so my expectations are quite low for this.

Oh Leroy, why don't you take the plunge if Otis can't? Because the show is going to milk this will they or won't they storyline forever.

My guess is that it will be available after the 10 episodes run on the French channel Studio 4. It runs for 5 weeks and 2 episodes a week. So around the end of this year or beginning of next year.

It is just more gay baiting, the CW is good at it.

I'm loving this season also. Cameron and Lewis have a amazing little brother big brother relationship. I loved his coming out episode. It's a shame so many people are saying he planned it for public votes.

It's done already. They got back together and Sandro sold his part of his dad's business and they left together.

Yeah I gave up on this a long time ago. When I saw the direction they were going with this storyline was going nowhere.

Season premiere had bad ratings this is probably the last season. Last night had 483,000 viewers compared to season 3 debut had 1.35 million. I guess when you have a show off the air for almost 2 years people will forget.

unless he's on longer than they let it seem The articles say he is only on for 6 weeks. So by mid to end of July his storyline will be done. I hope we get some kind of good ending.

This is the last spoiler we get for the next 3 weeks. Marilyn and John flounder as they try to support Ty coming out.
Not sure how much storyline he has left or what the point of his storyline was suppose to be.

Not to sure about that. I think it's the soap just saying see we had a gay character on here. It's been ten years since the last time they had a gay character on and it and that storyline was only 6 weeks also. unless Ty says he's gay in a going away line, don't see how they are going to do this when he's been in almost 3-4 weeks already Ty reveals his truth to Marilyn and John. The search for Ty continues. Justin is trying to keep his sisters from falling apart. Raffy feels sidelined with a broken heart. Raffy’s heartbroken as Ty and Ryder repair their friendship. Marilyn and John try to heal their fragile family. Those are the last spoilers that are out so far.
