Since all our usual shows are on hiatus at the moment, several weeks ago Ben and I started binging Gray’s Anatomy. I watched the first few seasons back in the day, but lost interest when the Izzy-Denny storyline dragged on forever.
Having made it past that point now, however, the one thing that stands out is how all the major characters end up having sex/sleeping with/coupling with each other.
Having worked for years in a hospital, I know (because I accidentally stumbled upon some In flagrante delicto occurring in a few out-of-the-way areas of the building on more than one occasion) that this goes on, but as I said to Ben the other night, “These characters are like a group of gay men in the 80s! They’ve either already fucked everyone else in the group or they’re currently fucking someone else in the group!”
I know this is how the writers generate drama for the series, but except for a few episodes when they were called out by hospital management for these trysts, it’s been largely forgotten in subsequent seasons.
To the series credit, it’s always been very gay/bi friendly, and I have to commend them for that.
