General Hospital Night Shift

This week we speak with Tom Chroust, former head writer of Forbidden Love. Chroust started at the show as an intern in August 1998 and eventually became head writer at Fl from July 2007 to June 2008. (He now is part of the writing team at All That Matters.)
During Chroust's tenure as head writer at Fl he shepherded the internationally loved romance between Christian Mann (Thore Schölermann) and Olli Sabel (Jo Weil). We talked to the out writer via email about that storyline, as well as other plots and characters he enjoyed working on. We also asked him what he wished he could have done differently and lots more!

Every day until the results are announced for the 2009 AfterElton.com Hot 100 poll we're leaking beefcake at a steady rate of a hunk a day (two slipped out on Monday, but we've adjusted the stream). 
Today's fan-fave is out actor Chad Allen, who has transitioned from child star (Our House) to teen dream (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) to out actor and bona fide gay role model (Save Me, General Hospital: Night Shift, the Donald Strachey Mystery series). All this, and he still finds the time to promote Arbor Day:

Oh, and he's currently auctioning off his tidy whiteys for charity. Now that's putting your money where your mouth ... would ... like to ... be ...? (sigh)
To find out where Allen placed on this year's list, you'll have to come back for the results. But for now, enjoy this assortment of pictures...


With Jeremy Jordan in The Little Dog Laughed


And just for fun.

In The Spotlight — Emmerdale
This week we bid a fond farewell to Emmerdale’s Paul Lambert (out actor Matthew Bose) and Jonny Foster (Richard Grieve), by taking a look back at their relationship as they exit the series for a new life in Australia – oh, yeah, and to give their troubled marriage a second (or is it third?) chance. It’s been a long hard road for this couple that found their love tested time and again.

During Paul’s years living in Emmerdale, he endured a series of unsuccessful relationships and tumultuous events including the night he rescued his neighbor Grayson Sinclair (Christopher Villiers) during an assault (and somehow managing to learn of Grayson’s bisexuality in the process0.
