More liberal Knots Landing in Los Angeles wouldn't have even gone that far. Knots Landing did float married woman Laura possibly having a same-sex relationship with Ciji in 1982-83, but it was left to the viewer's imagination to see it as nonsense or a possibility. Not even they at the time would have done open flirting on screen, let alone open seduction attempts on screen or things going even further. Heck, they were barely doing a small number of scenes with a sapphic flirt in 1992-1993 when bisexual character Vanessa Hunt was on the show. Brookside in the UK in 1994 was the first pre-watershed (i.e. before 9pm) lesbian kiss. A gay kiss between two men on EastEnders in 1996 was still big enough to be the main headline on the 9 o'clock news.</p></blockquote><p></p>
