A few months back, I was lamenting with some friends about the lack of long term gay story lines on TV when a Brit friend suggested I watch a UK soap opera called Emmerdale.
He advised me to start with episodes dating back to 2010, in which a young character was just coming to grips with his homosexuality.
Somewhere along the way, I became completely addicted to this show, not just for the gay characters, but just about everyone in this little village.
As of this weekend, I'm officially caught up and now I HATE this Brit friend, because now I'm like some junky jonzing for his next fix.
Hey Ulfian!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great - and I'm in your camp, loving this stuff but feeling like a junkie. :) WHERE are you watching this? YouTube?

Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was watching it on Daily motion, but it seems ITV is cracking down and demanding they remove them.
ReplyDeleteI find this extremely frustrating since ITV offer no viable alternative to watch their shows internationally.
A case of cutting their nose off to spite their face.
Now, I have to put up with just watching short snippets that are posted on YouTube.
