[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 432941, member: 23"] I suppose there could be three possible reasons for them citing Colin: The first: they just got their facts wrong. The second: they're mixing it up with the first same-sex kiss broadcast on a British soap which I [I]think[/I] was Colin and Barry* (but I'm not 100% sure about that). Incidentally, I just did a quick search and it appears the first kiss on British TV was in 1970, between Ian McKellen an d James Laurenson in a BBC production of [I]Edward II. [/I] The third: it's down to technicalities. Gordon appeared onscreen years before Colin, but was only written as gay off-screen [I]after[/I] the original actor had departed. The recast Gordon didn't appear until late August 1986... twenty days after Colin showed up on [I]Enders[/I]. *[U][I]Edit[/I][/U]: It appears it was Colin and Guido in 1989, so I assume this means passionate kisses rather than chaste, affectionate pecks.
