Welcome to the final edition of Gays of Our Lives for the year. We’ve got a lot for you this week.
First up, our second annual Gool Best And Worst polling has us asking your opinions on what you loved and hated this year in gay soaps. What was the best show both in the States and from our foreign neighbors? What storyline did you love the most? Who is your favorite straight character? And who do you think is the best couple? We’ll be asking these questions and a whole lot more.
In Gool Theater, if you don’t want to hear me gush about One Life to Live yet again, you’re out of luck. Find out why (as if you don’t know) when we take a look at this past week’s clips. Plus, after a few weeks absence, Good Times, Bad Times (German »

Welcome to another edition of Gays of Our Lives. This week we start with Gool Theater where Luke and Noah’s new story arc begins. And if you think Oakdale’s cutest gay teens have had some strange storylines before … this one takes the cake. Plus, Fer faces losing his boyfriend when David might have to move away in Física o’ Química, Simon ‘Doctors’ a boy being bullied and helps to console a gay man who might lose custody of his adopted daughter. And Riley looks to be de-gayed on Degrassi: The Next Generation.
Gool Scoops And Spoilers has the dish on Emmerdale as bad boy Aaron Livesy acts out, Luke gets a really bad idea on As the World Turns (what else is new?), Kyle and Oliver celebrate their first Thanksgiving together on One Life to Live and the Walkers go to Hawaii for Justin and Rebecca’s wedding on Brothers & Sisters. »

Stuff happens, when you're either sleeping or or living the fabulous and fashionable life we know you have. So we're starting your days with a few tidbits to keep you the sparkling conversationalist your friends expect you to be.
From today's teaser photo, one of the strengths of Sesame Street that has allowed it to last 40 years is that they localize the characters in the 140 countries it plays in. You're looking at Kami, a Muppet that's part of the South African Sesame Street where the AIDS crisis has left so many orphans living with the disease. Kami is female and HIV+, teaching the kids what they need to know about the disease along with the alphabet. This National Geographic piece has more global examples.
Speaking of Sesame Street, it's evidently a piece of the left wing, communist agenda to indoctrinate children against the true America. This is all based on »

Have our Genoa City gays run out of gas, or get run off the road?
Genoa City has denied a permit for a Gay Pride parade it seems. Or at least that's what a reported quote from Scott Hammer, co-head writer of The Young and The Restless says. Daytime Royalty is reporting that in the latest Soap Opera Weekly the lesser-known writer for Y&R says:
“At this point, we are not doing a gay story, and we never actually were doing a gay story. What we were playing with Rafe was the lengths to which Adam will go to accomplish his goals. And what we were really seeing was that he would stop at nothing. And, at this point, I don't see a future for Rafe and Adam."
Do we need to lower the rainbow flag to half-mast?
Now that’s pretty much a direct contradiction to his partner »

To bring you the best news for Daytime Drive By, I started following Michael Muhney, who plays our fauxmosexual Adam on The Young and the Restless. Through him, I discovered that Y&R is a very Twitter-savvy cast and with Y&R on summer break, the actors are all off just being themselves. In addition to Michael, I picked up Daniel Goddard, who plays Cane. Then I snagged Christian LeBlanc, who plays Michael Baldwin, then Michelle Stafford who plays Phyllis.
This has proved to be unintentionally hilarious. Over the weekend, you had Christian in Las Vegas, Twittering from the winner of the Y&R dream wedding contest as well as from various bars and casinos around the Strip.
But the real motherlode is the total bromance between Michael and Daniel. What follows are some of their bromantic exchanges. Remember to read each from the bottom up.
Seems like Daniel is »

What does it mean that there are three new entertainment projects where straight men are sexually involved with other men?
The three projects: Torchwood, Humpday and the Adam/Rafe storyline on The Young and the Restless.
Torchwood's Jack (John Barrowman) and Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd)
Britain’s Torchwood first broke gay ground with its leading bisexual character (in a genre show, no less). Now with the show’s third season (a five-part miniseries) running on BBC America for five days starting last night, that leading character, Captain Jack Harkness, is still involved with his male co-worker Ianto.
But this time around, we learn that Ianto is not gay or bisexual; he’s actually straight, but just happens to respond emotionally and sexually to Jack. Confusing? It shouldn’t be. Such emotions and relationships have always been part of the human spectrum. It’s just that, until very recently, we haven »

In this week’s Gool Theater, The Young and the Restless gives us one of the gayest weeks in daytime history. Between the return and coming out of Phillip Chancellor III (played by out actor Thom Bierdz) and the scandalous affair between Adam and Rafe, it was a very interesting week in Genoa City and we’ve got all the clips.
Also, Forbidden Love begins an intriguing new plot arc for Christian and Olli that warrants attention. Scoops And Spoilers has the lowdown on a shocking development in Christian and Syed’s relationship on EastEnders that could mean the beginning… or the end for them. And in Gool Newsbeat there’s some great casting news for United States of Tara and some not so great news that may spell an uncertain future for As The World Turns.

It's not often one hears the world of daytime soap operas compared to the writing of Shakespeare, but that's exactly what Michael Muhney thought when Maria Bell, showrunner for The Young and the Restless, described what Muhney's character would get up to should Muhney decide to join the show.
The Veronica Mars alum did decide to take the part and in doing so, landed square in the middle of what has become an explosion of queer characters on daytime television. In addition to the ground-breaking Luke and Noah on As the World Turns, there is the blossoming relationship between Kyle and Fish on One Life to Live, the return of Phillip Chancellor to The Young and the Restless where gay attorney Rafe Torres had already taken up residence, and numerous other secondary gay characters scattered across the daytime landscape.
But Muhney's Y&R character, Adam Wilson, might be involved in »

It's not hard to think of famous actors who happen to be siblings. There are the Baldwin brothers, of course, as well as the Wayans brothers. There is Matt Dillon and Kevin Dillon, and Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson.
Then there is Chris Evans and Scott Evans.
Wait — Scott who?
Perhaps you're not familiar with that last actor just yet, but with any luck, you will be soon. Scott Evans currently plays Officer Oliver Fish on One Life to Live, a character about to embark on a relationship with another man. If you're especially sharp-eyed, you might have spotted Evans on a recent episode of Fringe where his character died in a rather horrible fashion.
Oh, Evans also happens to be the younger brother of Chris Evans of Fantastic Four fame.
With his new storyline on Oltl set to unfold over the next couple of weeks, now seemed a good »

Yani Gellman and Michael Muhney
TV Guide is reporting that The Young and The Restless has just recast the role of Adam Wilson, the nefarious client of gay lawyer Rafe Torres (Yani Gellman). The role will be taken over by Michael Muhney, best remembered as Sheriff Don Lamb on gay-fave Veronica Mars.
Why the recast and why would it matter to AfterElton readers? File this under "rumors and speculation" for now, but soaps columnist Nelson Branco says that Chris Engen (who previously played Adam) walked off the set after refusing to kiss Gellman for a scene and has quit the show, leading to the last-minute replacement casting. Branco adds that Engen hasn't been happy with his character's villainous ways and has previously staged a few sickouts in protest.
We've asked the show for a comment and will let you know when we hear more about the situation, but for now »

Not unlike the puzzles that a certain teen detective has solved, the possibility of a Veronica Mars movie is somewhat of a mystery. Will it ever be written? Even more importantly, will a studio actually back a film based on a little-watched TV show? It won't take a "Nancy Drew" to solve this one, just a writer that can't seem to get this character out of his head.
Veronica Mars is the longtime pet project of series creator Rob Thomas. It began as a young adult novel, with a male teen detective as the main character. After writing other projects for television (Dawson's Creek, Cupid), Thomas developed it as a series with a female protagonist and Kristen Bell in the starring role. Other series performers include Enrico Colantoni, Percy Daggs III, Jason Dohring, Francis Capra, Ryan Hansen, Teddy Dunn, Michael Muhney, Tina Majorino, Brandon Hillock, Kyle Gallner, Tessa Thompson, Julie Gonzalo, »
