For those of you who do want to know about this, Christian LeBlanc
(Michael Baldwin), who is Michelle Stafford's best friend is also gay
just as Stafford is.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I say. Next, you'll be telling us he's shacked
up with that guy who plays his brother.

Is it true? I know that he and Greg Rikaart (Kevin Fisher) are very
close and perhaps they were lovers in the past but that they are
living together now I was not aware of.

But...did you know that CLB is male, and MS is female? Talk about your

I'd heard it. Who is gay is more interesting than who is a lesbian *to

characters, either.

Okay, have you heard anything about the ex Brad Carlton actor Don
Diamont who is now on the Bold and Beautiful? For a long time it has
been rumored he is bisexual.

All I've ever heard are rumors like this one. Never anything deeper
than that. And I haven't read about him in a long time. There's a guy
who is on B&B, which I don't watch, a pretty blonde boy who plays
Rick. He's always seemed gay to me. He even sings show tunes. I heard
him sing a couple of times on DAYS. He's actually very good.

Other actors I've wondered about over the years are Nick Scotti, who
played the original Tony Visconti before he disappeared into Hollywood
anonymity; Paul Walker, who went on to do those Fast & Furious flicks
with Vin Diesel (who I have heard is absolutely, positively, doesn't
shout it from the rooftops but doesn't hide it, gay); Brandon Beemer
from B&B.

By 'whom'. I think the more important fact here is that being gay
isn't a handicap. Both actors excel at their craft (as their numerous
nominations - and some wins - for Emmys, daytime Emmys illustrate),
regardless of their personal preferences.

I've heard the rumors since before he (Don Diamont) was on Y&R; they
were around at least as far back as when he was on Days of Our Lives.

If he is in fact bi, he seems to exercise the heterosexual component
of that pretty extensively. Maybe he's just very discreet about any
male-male activity he's engaging in--or maybe the whole thing was just
a rumor in the first place.

He used to model for International Male (as did Shemar Moore), and
that's a good way to get sexuality rumors started.

Should we just go ahead and re-compile the list of all the Y&R actors/
actresses through the years whose sexuality has been called into
question? OK, well, there's . . .

On second thought, let's not and say we did.

If he was a good actor, he would show the same love in his eyes for
his "wife" on the show as the does for his "brother".

Christian can't live with Greg, unless Greg's HUSBAND doesn't mind the bed being a bit over crowded!!

What business is it of ours if an actor is gay straight, by or trans? Does that somehow affect their work as a professional thesbian? {actor}

If Christian wants us to know, then he will tell us, until then, let's all just enjoy the show!!

6 years later isn't the only issue; trying to come off as an intellectual by using the word "thesbian" is a problem. An actor is also known as a THESPIAN, a gay female is a lesbian. A gay female actor, I suppose, could be mashed together to become a thesbian, but since you were referring to Christian LeBlanc, you just sound ridiculous.

Indeed, reading this thread with Google Groups
reader is like opening a time capsule. We look
inside and see posts from regulars who are no

The original poster was trolling in 2009 and thread

Michelle may have originated the role, but I like Gina just fine.

Michelle always played Phyliss as "crazy", Gina's Phyliss isn't nuts, but
angry.

I don't thing the recent set of storylines with Jack and Phyliss, her
return from the coma, thier close relationship afterwards and even the
infidelity would not have been believable from Michelle.

Her Phyliss was always about Nick. Jack was always her rebound/fall-back
man, Nick was always number one.

Right. In her early days, Phyllis was all about Danny Romalotti. She
tricked Danny into marrying her by getting pregnant and telling him
the baby (Daniel Romalotti) was his. Turned out later... surprise!...
Danny was not Daniel's father.

In thinking about it, I remember that Danny divorced Phyllis when he
found out about her lies and deception, and he got custody of Daniel.
What I don't remember are the circumstances surrounding why he got
custody. Which is so unusual for the man, especially someone who is
not the biological father. I'm sure somebody here will remember.

I do know that Daniel still thinks of Danny as his father and
visa-versa, and as the years went by things mellowed between Danny and
Phyllis. Hmmm, with Phyllis unattached this might be a good time to
bring both Daniel and Danny back to GC come to think of it.

I don't remember just where the 'accident' involving Phyllis, Christine, and Paul fits into the picture, but if it were before the divorce/custody case, would make Chris even angrier!
