    when she was playing the "slasher", etc., gives the actors more of a reach…that’s why I’d like to see Sami grow up, and Nicole not be so much of a plotter and planner -she may have it in her to be a nice person.  It’s kind of nice to see the characters do a 180 for a while…

    I think playing a gay person and having to portray sexual situations (passionate kissing, for example) is a far cry from playing a slasher or serial killer.  As I said before, I have no problems with homosexuality but I’d never want to kiss another woman ‘like that.’   Would any of you?  But then, I may be still hung up on 1950’s values.  I still have a hard time accepting bi-racial kissing. 

    Although playing the gay parts seems to becoming very popular to do so.  I think it started with Brokeback Mountain.  Those two guys got such acclaim for that movie that, IMO, wasn’t really that great, but they were lauded for so convincingly playing the not-so-stereotypipcal homosexuals .  And then the Madonna/Britney thing, which I think was purely for shock value. 

    So it appears to me that Crystal must enjoy such a part if she played one on whatever soap that was and then chooses to again play one in her own production.  That just seems kind of strange to me.  But then, she could be bi also. 

    I don’t mean to beat a dead horse, just my contribution to the topic.

    values.  Goes to something much deeper than that.  I don’t condem, I just choose not to watch.
