Guilty Pleasures... Robron Edition


Being someone who doesn't really watch a lot of TV, mostly because there are few shows, that as a gay man, I find of any interest or relate with.
That changed a couple of years ago, when a British friend introduced me to a UK half hour soap opera called Emmerdale.
It took me a while to figure out who was who, but what was obvious for me, was that this show offered a very fleshed out gay character, that defied the usual stereotypes.
What was even more interesting, is that with all the different story lines that go on throughout the soap, that the gay story lines weren't just background noise, but upfront and center, with ofttimes brilliant performances by a young actor by the name of Danny Miller, who has received countless accolades for his passionate, emotional performances.
What really surprises me however, despite the shows popularity in the UK, it's relatively unknown here in the US.
Every friend I have shared this show with now watch it regularly, both gay and str8. 
Which brings me to the reason for this post.
I often just post gay news and erotic things and though those things still interest me, there is more I could offer and this is me trying to do that.
 In 2017 I will be attempting to offer you more than just news, more than just porn but branch out into all forms of gay interest.
Starting today, I will be posting abbreviated, edited excerpts from Emmerdale, focusing on the extremely popular Robron story line (from the beginning and up to it's current timeline)
starring Danny Miller (who plays Aaron Livsey) and Ryan Hawley (who plays Robert Sugden).
Please feel free to comment or give your input on what kind of things you might think would be of interest.
