Bye bye Paul

Jonny Labey as Paul Coker.

So it's official. Paul Coker is dead. Apparently Paul and Ben was mugged and got split up. Ben returns home with no knowledge of Paul's death and Phil is the same homophobic biggot as always. I hate Phil Mitchell. I wonder how the character of Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid) is going to develop after this tragedy. I hope he will be ok eventually. But I'm really sad that this wonderful love story of Pen ended way too early. I hate it! I'm going to miss Paul Coker very much. He was such a lovely character! Eastenders will not be the same. Thank you Jonny Labey for this wonderful year. You will be very missed! 

Danny Miller & Ryan Hawley.

But at least there are some good news as well. Robert is going to move in with Aaron! And if it works they will get an own place with Liv! But of course it's not going to work. They're Robron! But at least I think Robron is going to stay for Long time! Everyone's Robron shippers! The creators of Emmerdale might be most of all! So I think we're going to get a wedding eventually! I can't hardly wait!

No way José!

Harry Reid.

I borrowed that picture from instagram. But no, no I just won't accept that! Pictures likte this has been out there for I while but I still don't believe it! Proof 1: Jonny Labey's going to leave Eastenders, not Harry Reid! Proof 2: Paul has Ben's name tatooed on his finger so that's why people might think it's Ben who died. Proof 3: Harry said in an interview abaout a year ago that he love's playing Ben and that he want's to do it for a long time! And proof 4: Pauls mu just came back so it would be very soapopery to kill him off now. And proof 5: Ben is really happy right now and that kind of happiness can never be good for a troubled kid like Ben. Or are you really that cruel Eastenders that you've fooled us all to believe that Paul/Jonny was going to leave the show when it really was Ben/Harry? I do not approve to that! I do love Paul but if one of them have to die it has to be him. I just love Ben and I'm really grieving Pen right now. Let me do that in peace without breaking my heart!

Parents...

Chryed and Syed's family. And Amira.

Watching Chryed I also got reminded of how awful his parents are most of the time! Ok, they are muslim, and the storyline is really important, but I just hate when parents are homophobes! It's the most heartbreaking thing to ever witness! And Nitin Ganatra and Nina Wadia (Zainab & Masood) made a really good job portraing dirtbags! I lost count how many times they disowned Syed! But, fortunately, they came to turns with it eventually. When Christian and Syed finally got married they were almost even sweet!

Sam Strike & Kellie Bright.

And speaking of Eastenders, Zainab and Masood has not been the only ones. When Johnny Carter (Sam Strike/Ted Reilly) came out early in 2014 his mother Linda Carter just couldnt accept it! I mean, in 2014! His dad, Mick (Danny Dyer) was much more supportive and relaxed about it. But Linda was just awful! Ok, she has gotten over it now but I just can't forgive her for it! She is always going to be poison to me!

Lari & Ilkka.

Another classic homophobic biggot is Ilkka Väänänen (Ari-Matti Hedman) from Salatut Elämät. We all thought that he might be ok when he didn't make any fuzz right there and then when he saw Lari and Elias on the sofa when he forgot his wallet. But we were so wrong! Another dad disowning his son and he even tried to "cure" him by sending Lari to an anti-gay camp. Just awful! Poor Lari! I wonder what would have happened to Larias if Ilkka weren't such a jerk?

Clemens Löhr & Alexander Becht.

This is actually quite interesting. When Nik Breidenbach played Alexander Cöster in GZSZ we was a homophobe, but when Clemens Löhr took over the part he was not. Not as much at least. Early in the days, Alexander of some reason believed that lenny was gay and Lenny tricked Alexander that he was just because he was a homophobic bully as a father. Not really nice at all. But when they changed actor and Lenny got together with Carsten everything was forgiven and forgotten. I like the new Alexander better. Definitely.

Jo Weil & Thore Schölermann.

Even the wonderful Oliver Sabel had a homophobic mother. His aunt Charlie was really nomal, but his mother Henriette was bitter and religious and didn't want her son to marry the love of his life. Christian that is. But she finally came around. But she was that unimportant that there's no good pictures of her on the net. That might as well be just as good. I never liked her.

Dennis Grabosch & Hartmut Volle.

Roman Wild in Alles Was Zählt even lied about his parents living in Australia because they were homophobes who had disowned him. It was just because Roman's little brother Florian moved/fled to Roman that we got to meet Roman's biggoty father Egon. I would rather have been without that acquaintance. Really. He never became better. He was just creapy.

Scott & Lisa Evans.

Surprise surprise, there's also American religious homophobic and biggoty parents. When Oliver Fish in One Life to Live finally came out his parents didn't approve ofcourse. Fortunately for us, Fish chose Kyle and not his mother. A fun fact is that it was Scott Evans' real mother Lisa who played barbara Fish for some episodes. We can't really accuse Lisa Evans for being agreat actor, but who is in a soap opera hey? Except for Danny Miller!

Daniel Hugh Kelly.

And I don't think anyone could accuse Winston Mayer for being a cozy and sweet guy. He was just awful! A manipulative stridspitt (that's swedish. Try working out what it means if you can!) that only cared about himself.He even tried to kill Noah's (Jake Silbermann) great love Luke (van Hansis). Luke got shot and couln't walk for while just because of this awful man! Every time he came back the Nuke storyline just got a little bit more angstly. Did not like him at all.

Nicolas Herman & Bernard Allouf.

Words can't enough how much I detest Yves Barrel, the father of Nicolas Barrel from Plus Belle la Vie. He is just pure evil! Homophobic, murderous, violent, manipulative, abusive... He is just it all. And that's not a good thing. The only good thing about him was that he disappeared eventually. The bad thing was that Nicolas disappeared about the same time. I miss Nicolas! It's a wonder he ended up such a nice person (when he wasn't a druggie) with that father. He and Egon Wild is kind of the same character. And that's no good thing!

Joshua Pascoe and Steve McFadden.

And let's go back to where we started. Eastenders. ben Mitchell (Joshua Pascoe/Harry Reid) has not had it easy. Phil Mitchell, his father, is not a very nice man. Ben has a homophobic father who kind of maid him get a beard not to loose him, his mother came back from the dead and he also was in prison for killing his stepmother's best friend. But I believe that was an accident... Anyhow, I don't ever think Phil Mitchel will approve of his gay son. Even though he is trying. But fake it you make it is not reallyPhil Mitchell's strong side. But I am open for being convinced otherwise!

Are you shitting me?!

I found this on Instagram. Is this some kind of sick joke? I am not even bothering to google translate it. They are rubbish on Finnish anyway. And Estonian. But really?! I don't think I could handle some kind of Kalias! I mean, Kalle and Elias? That is just ridiculous! Ok, they are good guys, and would probably have a good time together, but is this some kind of Hollyoaks where every gay guy have to screw one another?! I really hope it is a joke... Anyone who knows Finnish? No, really, I don't think I want to know... Come on Salatut Elämät! How much more can we handle?

Jonny Labey as Paul Coker.

And speaking of rubbish, what the hell is this?! Now when things finally are looking good for Ben and Paul. I do ship Pen quite hard, so I think it's such a waste! I like Paul Coker. I think he is a very loveable character, so this I do not approve! I read something about an explosive departure. I really hope he won't die! Because we want him to come back to Eastenders in the future, with or without Jonny Labey! And the thing with bringing back dead characters a la Bobby Ewing in Dallas, is just so old fashioned! No, this makes me really sad.

Kieron Richardson as Ste Hay.

And speaking of deaths, what's this?! I just can't take any more! Even though Ste is not my favourite person right because of that Starry twaddle, but I don't want him to die! Stop killing off all the gay characters! I am hoping for Ste to get his senses back and stop fooling around with that boring Harry. Ok, I really don't think that they will kill Ste, I mean, he is one of the Hollyoaks inventory. But he has bin in Hollyoaks for ten years now so you'll never know!

And speaking of Harry, he might have something going on with the newcomer James Nightingale, played by Gregory Finnegan. I would like that. Anything that might break up Starry is good!

Pen 4-ever?

Jonny Labey & Harry Reid.

Do I really need to say that I am excited!I really hope that Eastenders will give Pen a go after they almost muffed it the last time with Abi and some made-up baby! I really do think that Ben Mitchell and Paul Coker deserves a chance this time! And before the new Johnny Carter shows up and screws everything up!

Here's Johnny!

Ted Reilly as Johnny Carter.

So, this is going to be the new Johnny Carter. I think he's cute! I've seen him in both Suspects and Grantchester before. It's not stated when Johnny is going to return to Walford but let's hope that Eastender has something good in mind this character. That does not include Ben Mitchell or Paul Coker. Please.

Really Eastenders? Again?!

Abi Branning & Ben Mitchell.

Are you for real Eastenders?! Haven't we seen this before in hmm... Eastenders?! Yes we have. Is it really necessary to have all the gay characters making some girl pregnant? So, next on the list is Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid). Again! Is this the end of Pen? I refuse to believe that! This is 2016 and this is the year that every gay storyline is going my way! To show you how used this plot is just keep reading.

1982-ish - Steven Carrington

Jack Coleman and some baby.

Ok, it was kind of off-screen, and Steven Carrington (Jack Coleman) was actually married to the mother Sammy-Jo (Heather Locklear) but he was gay and he did make some girl pregnant. If he just had come out when he wanted, that would never have happened. So, already in the 80's in Dynasty for heaven's sake! 

2009 - Oliver Fish

Scott Evans and some baby.

In 2009 Oliver Fish  (Scott Evans) from One Life to Live was so deep down in the closet that he had to sleep with Stacy Morasco to feel better when he was drunk. And she wanted to get pregnant so win-win I guess. But Stacy died and daddy had a new boyfriend so Sierra Rose got to daddys instead and actually, even though I don't like babies in soaps, I would really have liked to see more of the really cute family of Fish, Kyle and Sierra Rose. It's a shame that USA is full of homophobic biggots among all the nice people there, so the characters had to leave the show, of course.

2010 - Syed Masood

Marc Elliott and some baby.

The first time Eastenders did it. Syed was the muslim guy who felt he had to get married to a woman to please his parents and who ever, and when his wife Amira got to know that her husband was gay she was already pregnant, but she left Walford and Syed got to meet his daughter for the first time in 2012. But Syed's boyfriend Christian Clarke (John Partridge) is delighted because they are planning to get a baby anyway and he does call Yasmin his and Syed's daughter more than once. An Amiras. But it seems that it is working out. But I am wondering, when is both Syed and Christian doing a guest appearance together? We miss you Chryed!

2010-ish Deniz Öztürk

Igor Dolgatschew and aothers and some baby.

In 2010 or something Deniz (Igor Dolgatschew) is drunk and sleeps with his father's girlfriend Jessica. That is the final stroke for DeRo I think. Ok, the got back together in the end but it was never the same. Roman died and Deniz got back to just girls and he meets his son Jonas once in a while. This was a really really reaaally lousy storyline fron Alles Was Zählt. I hated it. I don't want to talk about it.

2011 - Ben Mitchell

Steve McFadden and some baby.

There's no picture with both Ben and his daughter Lexi so we have to do with granpa Mitchell instead. Well, it seems like Ben doesn't really care about his baby, but he kind of was in prison back then so we never really had a storyline with those two. And I guess the writers kind of forgot about it at the time whe he got out or something. In 2011 Ben Mitchell (then played by Joshua Pascoe) slept with Lola Pearce while he was drunk and I guess it was some kind of gay-straight experiment. So, if Ben already has an "accident" child, why is he making another? We all know that he is gay.
 

2012 - Will Horton

Chandler Massey and some baby.

In 2012 Will Horton had an one-night stand with his ex Gabi and of course she got pregnant. Ok, this is not the worst baby-storyline and Arianna got to very loving fathers in Will and Sonny (Freddie Smith) but babies in soap operas are so boring! No, I do not approve Days, I do not approve.

2014 - Ste Hay

Kieron Richardson, Ross Adams and some baby.

So even in Hollyoaks. Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) had av very drunk one-night stand with the dreadful Sinead O'Connor in 2014 and that resulted in baby Hannah. Ste's husband John Paul (James Sutton) accepted it but Ste got and had a crush on some boring guy named Harry and I don't really care anymore. It could have been so good with Ste, JP, Leah, Lucas, Matthew and Hannah, but no. I am disappointed. 

2014 - Lari Väänänen

Ronny Roslöf and some baby.

And also in 2014 in Finland. Salatut Elämät also wants to do the baby storyline. Lari (Ronny Roslöf) also had a drunk one-night stand (there's a lot of those) with a girl, Sanni, who just happens to be the little sister of Kalle (Pete Lattu) Lari's future boyfriend. Boring, unecessary drama, the baby doesn't add any good to the soap, can't you just let Lalle to be happy?! I would.

And of course, there's more gay characters with babies in soap operas, Brendan Brady and John Paul McQueen for instance, but Brendan was married and an irish catholic back then and JP actually got baby Matthew with Craig before Craig shove of, so I don't think that those count. But do you see know Eastenders just how old this is? Why can't you just come up with something new? I am not looking forward to this!

Another transgender!

Annie Wallace as Sally St. Claire.

I am ctching up on Hollyoaks because I have to bee in phase when Christmas day comes! Bring back McHay! But I was very positively surprised when I realized the new hedmistress Sally St. Claire is a transgender! Both in the series and in real life! Scottish actress Annie Wallace is the first ever transgender actor to get regular in the show. And I love her! She's kind of the female version of Patrick Blake, without the evilness. So this is the third transgender character in Hollyoaks. We've already met Jason Costello and Blessing Chambers before.

Annie Wallace as Sally St. Claire and Jeremy Sheffield as Patrick Blake.

Hollyoaks just keeps delivering LGBT characters again and again! Right now there's one transgender (Sally obviously) four gay males (John Paul, Ste, Scott and Harry), two lesbians (Esther and Kim) and also two bisexuals (Lockie and Grace). That is nine LGBT characters, nd it has been ten this year! I still miss Dylan very much! So, Hollyoaks, even though Eastenders has made an eeffort with both Paul Coker and Ben Mitchell, the wonderful Christine and the newcomer Kyle, Hollyoaks still is queen of LGBT in the soap world, all over this planet!

Pen

Jonny Labey and Harry Reid.

One of my favourite couples are really boring right now. I mean, Ben and Paul,  Pen that is, started off really good, but then they slowed down. A lot. And that is so frustrating! The romance is steamy, interesting and contains a lot of angst so I really love it! But they have about one scene together in a month, and that is not enough!

First kiss between Paul Coker and Ben Mitchell.

We all do remember the first kiss early this summer. It was so hot! The comment to the picture is not mine, but I think it suits very well! Then nothing really happened for a while, just some flirting, but then there was snogging at the undertakers.

Undertakers...

Witnessed by a corpse! And about two thirds of the brits were outraged. I thought it was fun. I mean, it's just a soap opera! It's not real who hard we really want it! The woman in the coffin was very much alive and she was paid for lying there! Nothing to be upset about.

Paul Coker and Ben Mitchell.

What I'm upset about is that Phil Mitchell interrupted the couple earlier this fall and that the guys never got to the point! Phil is really awful and if it weren't for him I am sure that Ben Mitchell and Paul Coker would be an itemn long ago! It's such a shame! After this there has just been som looks and a lot of Phil-Mitchell-and-Kathy-Beale-drama. And who would want to see that when there's Pen to watch! And of course, we have gotten to know Christine and for that weare really thankful. But that is a small confort when we are missing out a lot of snogging between these two cuties. So Eastenders, just get it on with!

Kiss me slowly, Chryed!

Ok, do you like I feel that Eastenders are really really slow right now? Hurry up with Pen! Ben and Paul, that is. Well, in the meantime, please enjoy every kiss there was between Christian Clarke and Syed Masood in the years 2009-2012 in this fanvid:

Oh, I do miss John Partridge and Marc Elliott in Eastenders. Well, Christian shows up every now and then when there's a funeral or a wedding. So please bring your husband some time and please stay for a while! Some gay snogging might infect Pen a bit. I would really like that!

Eastenders ftw!

Right now I love Eastenders! Not just because Eastenders has Ben Mitchell and Paul Coker who are two very interesting and loveable gay characters who's lovestory seems very promising, no also because of this:

Riley Carter Millington.

Earlier this month Eastenders went out with the fact that a transgender actor, Riley Carter Millington, were casted in the role as the character Kyle. And yes, Kyle is also transgender. I think more transgender characters and actors are very welcome in soaps and on television all over the world! I am very excited about Kyle! I hope he will be a loveable character!

Roger Sloman as Les Coker.

And then this happened! So that's the secret Les Coker (Roger Sloman) has with Claudette! He is a transvestite! And yes, Les Coker is the grandfather of Paul. And this is so important! Transvestism is much more common than we think, and usually, it's the heterosexual ordinary guy who has this big secret that not even his wife knows about. And it shouldn't have to be like that! There is such ignorance and stigma about transvestisim in the world, and that's why people think they need to hide it! It's really nothing weird or bad about it, trust me about that, I have experience, and the world needs to see that! That's why I think it's so important for Eastenders to tell this story. And for Les to come out! I am sooooo super excited about this! I am so looking forward to getting to know Christine!

To read more about transgender, transvestism and cross dressing in soaps, read this post.  And of course, there's also a bit about Dylan in Hollyoaks. Read here. I miss Dylan...

Gays with girlfriends

What I really don't get is when out gay characters in soap operas gets girlfriends. I mean, I know all about bisexuality and pansexuality and that it doesn't always have to be black or white and some people really are just not that scrupulous. But the straight relationships including gay men in soap operas seems kind of like train wrecks.

Javier Calvo and Andrea Duro.

I mean like Fer and Yoli in Física o Química. Who came up with that smart idea? Fer had already been out quite a while and he had already been together with David for a while when he started dating Yoli of all people? Well, Fer did still love David and he really didn't like girls so that romance didn't last long. And it kind of seemed like he started dating Yoli by accident and then didn't want to disappoint her. I really don't think that is a solid band for a relationship Fortunately he got to his senses.

Pete Lattu and Jasmin Hamid.

And how about Kalle and Katariina. That was really not the most fortunate pull Salatut Elämät made. But at least they were cute. Kalle would be cute with anyone, actually. Well, I guess they just really liked eachother. But things got kind of weird when they both dated the same man, Valtteri Elovirta, who as we know ended up raped Kalle. Actually, it happens to be that Valtteri, the bastard, was Kalle's first love, and that he wasn't really a nice guy back in the days either. I wonder if Valtteri was the first guy Kalle kissed, the kiss that made the Finnish people write lots and lots of mails of complaint? Oh why can't just there be more early SE DVD's so someone, like sininentomaatti, could keep uploading Kalle's story? I also read that they show reruns of older seasons of SE during summer in Finland, but I both don't live in Finland and still don't know any Finnish so...

Rami Rusinen, Pete Lattu and Jasmin Hamid.

Anyway, there was some kind of drama between Kalle, Valtteri and Katharina and there also was some kind of sex tape and it just didn't end well. Kalle got raped for one, and the relationship between Kalle and Katariina is only a memory. But they were some kind of friends even after that Valtteri drama, even though they drifted apart.And also, it seems like Ismo bashed Valtteri (yay Ismo) and Valtteri ws sent to jail. An now Kalle is dating Lari! Oh joy!

Caroline Tillette and Nicolas Herman.

And then there's the wonderfull Nicolas and the wavy Pauline. Ok, she was quite cute but, she ws just not Thomas! Ok, so Nicolas faked his death to save Thomas, Thomas moved on and met Florian, the he discovered Nicolas was alive and both Thomas and Nicolas had angst because of one another. Nicolas was of course hoping for Thomas to still be single. But he wasn't and he did comfort himself with a girl. Logical o what? I think not! He couldn't even mange to have sex with his ex wife to conceive a baby. Well, that didn't work out, Nicolas was still sulking for Thomas and Pauline went somewhere with a new identity. That is what happens to maffia-doughters who kill their fathers. And Nicolas also kind of sucked up for Celine when she was his client. What happened to Plus Belle la Vie and what happened to Nicolas? But I still love him.

Harry Reid and Lorna Fitzgerald.

And once again, meet ben Mitchell and Abi Branning. Ben nows that he is gay, everyone else knows that he is gay, his new lover Paul nows that he is gay and I even think Abi knows that he is gay. Otherwhise she wouldn't be so suspicious of Ben and Paul. The only one who doesn't know that Ben is gay is his father Ben Mitchell. And I even think that he knows that Ben is gay, but he is in big denial. He doesn't wat a gay son and ben doesn't want to disappoint him. Kind of. So, Abi is a beard, but I think that Ben is really fond of her, that he do love her, but she just doesn't do it for him. I hope that he will ditch her soon and be with Paul full time. At least Paul seems to want that.Ad it is way to long since Eastenders had an interesting gay romance. EEven if you do count Tina's.

Stephanie Davis and Kieron Richardson.

Bläch. Ste and Sinead. That is really so low from Hollyoaks. Ste's just gay. He has been since Brendan's moustache. I just don't get it! Ok, they have a baby, ok they had sex, but how could Ste choose Sinead before John Paul? I just don't get it! Ok, John Paul dumped Ste, but that was after he had put John Paul second for so long. Sinead is just a really comfused rebound! The only comfort is that Ste will snog Harry soon and that just have to be the end oh Stinead or what they are called. And also, Stephanie Davis has been sacked from Hollyoaks so it has to end quite soon. Oh thank gods for that, because this straight romance was just a low-water mark. Even worse than Fer and Yoli! I'm even quite keen on Starry know. I can't be worse than Stinead!

Ben & Paul

Jonny Labey and Harry Reid in Eastenders.

Yesterday a new, very important, chapter of Eastenders began. And I was NOT disappointed! That is - Ben and Paul. Paul Coker (Jonny Labey) arrived to Walford and there were sparks right away between him and Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid). There was some snogging in the episode and it seems like there is more to come. Actually, this s the most exciting (gay) storyline in all soaps right now. All the others are really boring. I am super excited! So, to be continued.

Summer of infidelity

The Emmerdale

Well, that's what Emmerdale markets their summer as. And I do love the picture! I love the colours, the balloons, how the characters are placed in the picture. And I really do love Aaron and Robert of course. I love how Robert is in the middle and Aaron and Chrissie is on the sides. So when are Robert going to come out as bisexual? It's really time! And just because it is so fab:

Aaron, Robert and Chrissie.

A close up! I really do like Aaron and Robert together. Can't Chrissie just go away? But I have to say, I am a bit excited about a summer with even more of a domestic triangle than we already has got. So, more Danny Miller and Ryan Hawley to the people! I really think that this summer is going to be legendary with both this triad AND Ben and Paul! It can't be summer soon enough!

And a bonus:

Danny Miller

Danny is just the cutest thing ever!

Finally Ben!

Harry Reid as Ben Mitchell and Jonny Labey as Paul Coker.

Finally it seems like Eastenders is going to start to deliver! I have been waiting for a romance for Ben Mitchell since the character came back this October. I really don't count Abi because SHE IS A GIRL! I really really hope that this will be a romance that lasts. It's been way too long since Christian and Syed left.

Paul Coker.

So, Paul Coker, who is played by Jonny Labey, is the grandson of the etablated characters Les and Pam Coker, and he is stated to be a fun and honest character who is always in the centre of the attention. It also says that:

His natural confidence is born of knowing and being comfortable with exactly who he is.

It really seems promising! He is going to show up in June and you can see some bits that is to come in the Eastenders official summers trailer below. I am really looking forward to it! And seems to be just what our beloved Ben Mitchell needs!

Crossovers

Julia Augustin and Jo Weil.

Did you know that Jo Weil is going to starr in Alles Was Zählt?! And he is going to play Vanessa Steinkamps boyfriend Nick Danne! That is just hilarious. I just have to see that!

Jo Weil and Igor Dolgatschew.

But I think it is a shame Jo is not going to Oliver Sabel in Alles Was Zählt to. He could start dating Deniz and faghags around the world would be so delighted! I told you before, I think it is so crappy that the German soaps have no ongoing gay storylinesright now! Too bad Alles Was Zählt didn't take the chance there.

Joe Gill and Harry Reid.

That got me to think about all the great crossovers we would like to see. I for one would love to see Finn Barton from Emmerdale together with Ben Mitchell in Eastenders. Yes I know that they look the same but anyway.

Parry Glasspool and Sam Strike.

Or how about Harry in Hollyoaks and Johnny in Eastenders. Could we get Sam Strike to come back to the series for such a storyline? I would love it!

Pete Lattu and Nicolas Herman.

Or what would you think about Nicolas in Plus Belle La Vie together with Kalle in Salatut Elämät? I think they are the most loveable and kind gay characters ever in a soap opera, so I think they would enjoy eachothers company. I really really would like to see that storyline!

Pete Lattu and James Sutton.

Or why not Kalle with John Paul McQueen... John Paul is the runner up for the most loveable and kind gay characters I think. If he is not tied with Nicolas and Kalle for the first place. I really do love John Paul. I think Kalle would to.

Pete Lattu and Jo Weil.

And speaking of gay characters to love, Kalle and Olli maybe? When I come to think about it, I really think Kalle would be good with any gay character from the soap world. Kalle is great, what even MissFinlandia says. And the possibilities are endless!
