Those of you with BBC America

[linkxzelda]

A British soap called Hollyoaks has just started airing on there (a couple of days ago). As teen-focused soaps go it's nothing special but there's a very nice storyline about to start involving a young guy coming to terms with his sexuality. Lots of sexual tension, lots of attractive guys kissing and it's probably the most I've identified with a storyline on TV. We all have to come out at some point and I'm sure a lot of us have fallen in love with straight guys before.

Here are a few clips to whet your appetite. These are some of the largest moments that happen in the storyline so obviously there are HUGE MASSIVE SPOILERS in these:







John Paul tells his best friend that he's in love with him:

JP has his first proper gay kiss (awww). It's cut short though :/

JP and Craig finally have sex (but it ends badly -_-):

If you're reasonably young and enjoy trashy soaps I'd recommend giving it a go. BBC America starts airing just as JP joins the show, so you haven't missed anything yet

Hollyoaks is one of my favourite shows. It's great to watch. The best storylines are with Claire. The John-Paul and Craig story heats up alot - it sounds as though they're showing last summer's episodes in the US

I like Skins...is this show like it?

I just got down watching Season one of Skins thanks to the miracle that is the internet!

I caught the "Catch Up Special" and one other episode yesterday during a little mini marathon before I had to go to work...seems like something I could get addicted to definitely...anyone know where I can watch them online? All my usual sites for watching shows online didn't have them.

WHOA! The explosion at the bar last night! Crazy! They killed off the twins and Joey!?
