Langford's Picks And Pans
Casualty
I don’t think Casualty has had a regular gay character since Toby and Ben a few years ago. I really loved Toby and Ben, together and as individual characters and wasn’t happy when the show wrote them off. So it’s nice that the show has finally added a regular gay character to the cast and I like Jamie quite a bit. I’m so glad that he’s not closeted and isn’t struggling with his sexuality, though it’s obvious that his father discovering he’s gay is going to be a storyline at some point.
As for the plot about the teenage boy with gender dysphoria, I thought that it was an interesting storyline. It was really quite sweet the lengths and risks that Zack took just to see Danny and make sure he’s all right. When Danny was...

Langford's Picks And Pans
Hollyoaks
Well, it looks like Callum and George are going to be just friends, at least that’s what I’m forecasting after weeks of wondering. And that’s fine. Romance would have been nice, but I like them both, and I always enjoy strong friendships between gay men and straight men. But I do hope that the show eventually gives George a love interest. Though as I said before, this is Hollyoaks,so I’d be surprised if they didn’t. I did think the scenes of the guys cruising Callum in the gay club were cute. He’s the kind of guy who would definitely attract attention.
Meanwhile, as for Brendan, I liked his scenes with Cheryl and especially with Darren, even if Brendan suddenly hanging out with Darren makes little sense given they’ve said about two words to each other since Brendan arrived in town.
