It's been long enough that I forgot again that Courtney Hope does soap operas mostly, so yet another instance of "why is Jesse Control on the TV wtf??!?!!" Today
ah yes. sally spectra. unfortunately i and my family mostly KNOW courtney "jesse control" hope as sally spectra because that's mostly the media my mom and my sister consume, and they HATE sally so much (i'm indifferent but i am VERY pro bi jack abbott, bi neil winters, bi victor newman, bi nikki newman, pan billy abbott, pan tracey abbott, bi sharon rosales, and bi nick newman. and also bi OR pan OR unlabeled hilary curtis (RIP HILARY), unlabeled but questioning some sort of attraction to men chance chancellor and lesbian amanda sinclair (same actress as amanda). and i LOVE that the bi x lesbian couple of mariah and tessa are LITERALLY the only stable couple on the show. i love it especially because mariah is canonically bi and bi people and other mspec people are VERY unfortunately stereotyped as cheaters in most mass media so i assume a trashy soap opera would stereotype a bi woman primarily attracted to women as a cheater as well, which they didn't! which i'm surprised! also i'm also surprised sally isn't bi, pan, ply, or omni: she has bi or pan specifically vibes to me, and i can see her in some sort of relationship with elena, who i personally see as a lesbian).
SORRY FOR THIS EXTENDED RAMBLE ABOUT THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS LGBT HEADCANONS BUT. SOOOOOOO MANY OF THESE CHARACTERS WOULD BE MADE MUCH MORE INTERESTING IF THEY WERE IN SOME WAY QUEER. ESPECIALLY JACK "SAD OLD MAN WHO HAS HORRIBLE, TORRID, UNSTABLE RELATIONSHIPS WITH WOMEN BUT SOMEHOW MANAGES TO HAVE STABLE, ALMOST ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEN AND ONLY MEN. FOR SOME REASON" ABBOTT. NEIL WINTERS X JACK ABBOTT FOREVER.
