Hi, I'm just curious what One Life To Live's history is with Gay storylines. I watched from 93 to early 96, then didn't start to watch again till Susan Haskell retured to the show (so last summer). I haven't really seen any Gay characters on it. Can somebody brief me on the show's history concerning this topic. Thanks for any info

There was an early storyline back when Susan Haskell was on ... (Ryan Phillipe previously with Reese Witherspoon) played a young teen that was coming out. Andrew Carpenter was the neighborhood priest who was counselling him. Many thought that Andrew and Billy (Ryan P.) were lovers. Actually, I think Marty might have started a rumor that they were ... that was before she turned her life around!

Then remember ... Nora was dating (and eventually married) a politician that was in the closet.

Aside from that, I don't think there were other gay storylines!

I remember both s/l's. Speaking of Andrew, maybe his adopted son River can return with Cassie and turn out to be gay. (no pun intended) That would be a really great s/l and bring back three great sctors to boot. I know Laura Koffman is free from AMC now.

I love the idea of River coming back with Cassie and Can Andrew return too please And having River be gay would be pretty cool. OLTL could use another positive gay storyline--i get the feeling the Daniel Colson storyline wasn't a great portrayal. Thanks everyone for your input.
