Telemundo's 'Dangerous Affairs' Heats Up with Gay Love Story: VIDEO
The Telemundo telenovela Relaciones Peligrosas (Dangerous Affairs) has a gay storyline that's heating up.
Diego, a closeted football player being pressured by family to marry his girlfriend, is secretly falling in love with their best friend, Alejandro, and in a recent episode their relationship is exposed during an argument at the local jeweller.
Plus, things are about to get very steamy.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
Also, not a regular viewer of this show so any comments from folks who are would be greatly appreciated.
"Is anyone else a little bothered that all these shows use European blooded actors, while the viewers are of all or part native blood?"
Not at all. I am sure they are giving the audience exactly what they want. A refreshing change from the endless "diversity" propaganda that the US networks are always forcing down everybody's throat.

As someone who has watched this entire telenovela since it began in January, I seriously doubt things will be "getting steamy." (Plus, it's my understanding we're in the final weeks of the whole show, so it's almost over anyway.) On at least two occasions, they've panned away from the couple kissing, and at other times they talk about kisses they haven't even shown. That's about it. If it weren't so pathetic it would be rather funny. In fact, the steamiest thing they've shown (imho) was Alejandro's fantasy of his straight friend, Sebastian, who let him sleepover one night after they'd studied late. They were sharing a double bed, shirtless, in their underwear, and Alejandro had a fantasy of touching Seabstian, who is very hot indeed. I was actually hoping Seabastian would be Alejandro's love interest, as Diego's kind of a clod.
Telemundo chickened out on a similar gay teen story on the telenovela "Ninos Ricos, Pobres Padres" a couple of years ago. After one closed-mouth kiss, the boy who was having a hard time dealing with being gay, got into a motorcycle accident in what appeared to be a suicide attempt, and for the remainder of the telenovela was in various states of paralysis. While the rest of the teens were having fairly blatant sex scenes, the gay couple sat around and held hands.

They've just added MORE episodes to this show (now 108) so obviously the audience is responding well (thought the ratings had been bad for a bit and they got rid of some characters)
While the initial inspiration for the show was FoQ from Spain, this show diverged greatly from that plot very FoQ's storyline since about episode 3 of this series.
I saw all 7 seasons of FoQ and this show really only has stuff from season 1 and it's all out of order so I don't think you need to know anything about FoQ to watch this series.
This show is shot in MIAMI at a bilingual American school (it's not Mexican and the students are American and from other countries DR, parts of South and Central America) but most of them speak both English and Spanish.
Alejandro is gay and out to everyone including his parents. He made a great It Gets Better video and his coming out was actual really great. Diego is bisexual and he kissed BOTH Alejandro and Nora for the first time around the same time but started dating Nora (while continuing to hang out with Alejandro) Alejandro told Nora Diego kissed him after the first time and she didn't believe him and Alejandro and Diego had a fist fight (Alejandro TOTALLY held his own). Anyway, Diego's dad is a rabid homophobe and suspects his son of having something with Alejandro so he's been pushing his son to be with Nora. When he found out Nora was brought to the US as a baby but isn't legal, he pushed Diego to marry her (as a means to "straighten him up"). NONE of this has anything to do with FoQ from Spain. The storylines in that show were completely different with different characters, etc.
I actually really like all the drama of the Telemundo program. But you have to really like telenovelas as a genre to enjoy it.

I've gotten hooked on it. It's a pretty good show, but the men - oh the men. They are each and every one the handsomest bunch ever assembled on TV. I might point out one in particular: Gonzalo García Vivanco. Check him out.

This show started out steamy. That dream sequence was quite risque but Ale passing the ice to Max was as close to a kiss as this show got. Also, the sex video between Gonzalo, Rodrigo and Oswaldo was all but forgotten until a few episodes ago. Partway into the series, the producers shifted focus from the teens to the awful Miranda and Maurico storyline. This show has been one big crapfest.

No BOB, no one cares who's "European blooded". Jesus what a question. What in the hell's the matter with you?

As expected, they showed the two characters in Monday night's (6/18) episode for a total of 15 seconds. They're back at school and nada. Diego won't even sit next to Alejandro while all the kids in class are watching their libraian's courtroom trial on the web (the main story). I couldn't make out the context, but Diego said something to Alejandro about something ''being sick'' as he scurried over to Nora's side.
Steamy.
