Thanks for the clip, Mark. Interesting to see Lucas interact with his immediate family (although calling Grandpa/Uncle Mr. Sanders?) And of course, beginning the flirtation with Dex. From the (funny) previews for tomorrow, is Dex already questioning? ;D
Oh, and was that Janine back with Jack?

Lucas is quite the charmer I'm already loving him and he's only been on for one day. Thank you so much for bringing this story to us. Yay

Oh, and was that Janine back with Jack? Yes, they were having problems because it seemed like Jack was responsible for the explosion that left Nina paralyzed. But as Ludo said, the charges were dropped and someone else is responsible, so they got back together.

(although calling Grandpa/Uncle Mr. Sanders?) Yeah, that didn't make much sense to me either. But who cares! ;D I can't wait to see what happens in the next episode.

markdutchviewer: Thanks for the clip. And I have just read through the pages on this thread, and I'm very grateful for all the background info and introduction of this show. Very much appreciate all the hard work you have put in. I think for me, this got to be the easiest new show to follow (besides EastEnders) given there are not very much complications involving the character we are interested in (unlike the complicated issues Rafe/Oliver/Kyle have to be involved in). It's a bonus that we have a bisexual actor acting out as a gay character. And about Dex, HE IS CUTE! I would definitely go for the idea of him being with Lucas. It will be interesting to see that Dex turns out to be bisexual as opposed to Ferry's bisexual sexual preference. I am very sure they look good as a couple, not to mention I feel a little chemisty between the actors. And I have point out I absolutely dislike complicated relationships within family members. It took me so long just to know the family tree of the Chancellor's family in Y & R. And now after reading on the Sanders' family, I was thinking that can the Sanders get any more complicated. Hehehe. Anyway, I can wait to see the next clip. I think we can almost for sure guess that Dex will go into auto-defensive mode, but it's still interesting to see how both of them play out. And one more question, is there anymore new male characters being introduced for the next season. Just in case, Dex does not turn out to be Ferry's love interest. And one last thing, maybe we can follow suit by coloring the spoilers to prevent people from getting "spoiled"? And again to markdutchviewer, thank you very much for introducing this new show!

I will color the spoilers and will just link to spoiler pics instead of posting them for everyone to see (but we usually don't get spoiler pics, that's just for this last week of the season). Complicated family trees. I guess it's a fact for ALL soaps. I agree that Dex is a cutie. I've been loving the actor Emiel Sandtke since 2005/06 when I saw him in the drama series "Vuurzee" (Sea of Fire). He joined GTST in 2008 right after filming season two of "Vuurzee". That season aired earlier this year so I was able to see him on two shows at the same time. There's no casting news at this moment. But there is room in the cast since two actors left and only Ferry joined the cast so far.

Spoiler info:
Earlier I posted about an actor being cast for one episode to play Lucas' one night stand. The source said the episode would air before the end of the season, but I just saw they changed their article. It will happen at the beginning of next season.

Lucas is FIERCE! Very sexy and sweet and takes things in stride. He's so mischievous. I'd love to see him on screen with Elizabeth Hubbard I bet they could chew some scenery! Poor Dex didn't know what to do with himself. Dex's mama is very sexy. Hubba Hubba.

I'm loving Lucas so much. The chemistry between him and Nina is awesome. Totally believable as siblings. And oh Dex! You're so deep in denial! Or at least... I hope you are! Loved Ronja teasing him. Hopefully Elizabeth Hubbard's character will get involved in this storyline.

Mark, Thanks so much for the clip. A very enjoyable 10 minutes! Loving the chemistry between Lukas and Dex, and I have to say, I'm in lust with Dex's father! ;D

Thanks for the new clip, markdutchviewer. As expected, Dex went to into auto-defensive "i'm-not-gay" mode. Hehehe. He's adorable in a dorky way. It will be funny if it turns out that because everyone around him (even his parents) assumes/thinks he's gay, then he gets all confused and decides to hook up with Lucas but then to discover he's straight all along. But of course, I would like to have Dex to be Lucas's boyfriend. They look so CUTE together. Just like it when Lucas purposely get into the stereotype queen just to agitate Dex. Hehehe. I think it's pretty obvious Lucas is interested in Dex
And I love how the equality issue being mentioned subtly. Like in the part where they mentioned they don't introduce each other as straight/gay to the people around them.

Another great ep! Poor Dex, being teased mercilessly by all and sundry ... even his own family immediately jumping to the conclusion about his sexuality. Hee!
Now I have to confess, while I do like Lucas a lot, especially his confidence and his snark, I was a bit uncomfortable with how he was purposely camping it up for Dex's benefit. JMO, but I thought he really went overboard, to freak Dex out a lot. I mean, if you're thinking/hoping he's secretly gay, this is NOT the way to go about it. It'll probably scare him even deeper into the closet!
That being said, I'm really disappointed about the new timing of the spoiler you mentioned, Mark (thanks for the clips again, btw) and that we may have to wait 2 months for the next Lucas sighting.
(BTW, harmonium, love your signature banner and the ever-adorable GL-R.)

justinate: About Lucas' camping it up, I guess he finds it fun to see how Dex freaks out (just look at how happy he is when he sees Dex's horrified face) and maybe to prove his theory that those guys who generally freak out when seeing gays are the usual closet cases. And thanks for your compliment! I love that show. And GL-R is so LOVABLE!! He got this very boyish charm and this lovelorn look. Just make your heart melts....

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

He's only been on for a short while and I already love Lucas. I admit his over camping it to tease Dex did get on my nerves a bit. But I forgave him because he's just so adorable and charming. I could see Dex being bi, but I don't think he's completely gay.
Sure I know guys who act those most freaked out by gays who I have a suspicious like boys themselves. I have a few friends who won't I think are not aware of it themselves or others in denial about even being bi. I love how the actor playing Lucas is so public and comfortable with being bi himself.
I did love his relationship with Nina and believe right away they're siblings. They talk and act like they only parted a day ago and appear very close. I thought it was really funny how Dex's family tease him.
I only started watching this storyline, do those who know the show well think Dex will end up with Lucas or Nina? Or will another male character hit it off with Lucas or will they bring someone in to the show for a relationship?

The show doesn't give too much spoiler details (which is a good thing IMO). I do think Dex is the only guy on the show that would be believable as bi/gay. There's no casting news about new characters at this moment.
