Its a daytime soap and modern daytime soaps are about putting young hot men and women into sexual situations very quickly. The pure, old-fashioned, hold-off-sex-for-a-year romantic couplings are these days saved only for the young, teenager storylines (which gets racier as the teenagers age of course). And as a person who has seen far too many daytime soaps (hence my screen name) a pairing between a black man and a white woman (which is extremely rare on daytime) usually doesn't involve too much overt sexuality. The writers like to pretend they are going the romantic route but instead they are too timid to make a white woman truly lust after a black man on screen (again with rare exception). As a result the relationships end up being half-hearted and tepid hookups with all the heated chemistry of a couple of sibblings. So to learn today that a TV show from one of the most backward industries of TV actually had a white female and a black male attarcted to another in a realistic and highly sexual way (although not too sexual since this is daytime TV we're talking about) is actually a bit of progress.
Not bad at all. Might we be seeing a lil' mo' balance now on daytime tv :?: :!:
