Adonis 2013 Competition! Who Gets Your Vote? DAYS Scott, Martsolf, Massey, Vaughan? Y&R's Dapper? OLTL's Gorrie, Or AMC's Wilson?

If you haven’t been rallying your soap stars fan bases, or checking out the shirtless pics of your favorite soap hunks, now is the time! It is Soaphunks.net’s tenth annual Adonis competition and voting is underway right now!

After several weeks of the competition, where one hottie gets voted off each week, we are down to just seven!

In the running still are from Days of our Lives, five-time winner, James Scott (EJ), another previous winner, Eric Martsolf (Brady), Chandler Massey (Will) and Greg Vaughan (Eric)!  Representing The Young and the Restless Marco Dapper (Carmine), and from One Life to Live, Robert Gorrie  (Matthew) and from All My Children, Rob Scott Wilson (Pete)!

This year there has been some changes to the voting rules.  Fans must vote for two guys, instead of one.   The two vote per week rule is in place and does not change till the final week when there are only two remaining men left standing.  This encourages a more fair voting process!

The bottom three is also key to be keeping an eye on each week, if your favorite lands there, better rally for him! For instance this week, Chandler Massey hit the bottom three for the first time! While, One Life to Live’s Robert Gorrie landed in the bottom three for the first five weeks, but still managed to survive!

Voting runs Sunday through Friday over the next several weeks! The voting results each week are announced on Sunday when the new ballot goes up with the remaining competitors.  You are allowed ONE vote per day from ONE IP address! Finalist profiles to help you make your selection are available by clicking here. To cast your vote click here!

So who do you think should win Adonis 2013 and why? Days of our Lives James Scott, Chandler Massey, Greg Vaughan or Eric Martsolf?  Y&R’s Marco Dapper?  OLTL’s Robert Gorrie? Or, All My Children’s Rob Scott Wilson?  Weigh-in on the hotties below!

Pride Month Celebrating LGBTQ+ Soap Supercouples: Nuke, Kish, Otalia & WilSon … Which Stands the Test of Time?

June is Pride Month, the time when across the U.S and the world there are celebrations and commemorations to recognize all who identify as LGBTQ and their allies.

Daytime soap operas have had a rocky road when it comes to the representation of same-sex couples.  The soaps have been at one time leaders in portraying key social issues of our time, as well as treading lightly on other subjects, as to its concerns to ‘turn-off’ its core audiences.

When you look back at the groundbreaking first same-sex weddings, and the first gay kiss, the soaps have come far in some ways in their representations of gay characters, but there is always work to be done to serve and to shed light on the under-represented.

As we reflect back to the then and the now, which LGBTQ soap supercouple remains your favorite and had made a lasting impact? Let’s take a look at four duos who captivated many viewers.

Nuke  – Luke Snyder and Noah Mayer – As the World Turns

Van Hansis (Luke) and Jake Silbermann (Noah) were a key part of the evolution of, and representation of LGBTQ character on the soaps.  ‘Nuke’, as they were known as, became the first gay male soap couple to share an on-screen kiss back in 2007.  ATWT also became known as the first soap to depict a fully realized romantic male couple as an integral part of the show.  There was plenty of backlash along the way for the long-awaited kiss to happen, but when it did, the show moved forward to tell their love story.

Otalia – Olivia Spencer and Natalia Rivera Aitoro – Guiding Light

When Crystal Chappell (Olivia) and Jessica Leccia (Natalia) began to play the love story of Otalia, they had to show their affection by a kiss on the head, or holding hands.  It took quite some time for GL to move forward to have two women, two moms, no less, share a lip lock. The complicated love story featured Natalia being conflicted to face her true romantic feelings for Olivia, because of her value system and religions upbringing, and that made this all the more riveting and frustrating at the same time.  In the end, the rabid fan base for this duo was so great that Chappell wound up creating her own series, Venice, to honor and serve them, remaining one of the LGBTQ communities greatest allies.

Kish – Kyle Lewis and Oliver Fish – One Life to Live

In 2009, One Life to Live’s Kyle Lewis (Brett Claywell) was an out lab tech in Llanview, who back in college had a relationship with Officer Oliver Fish (Scott Evans).  It imploded when Oliver denied he was gay.  For years, Oliver remained in the closet, before finally coming out to himself and Kyle.

Kish had been a big success with the media and One Life’s gay audience. LGBTQ-advocacy groups honored the couple and the story.  However, Kish was cut short when the network felt that the data showed that the storyline was not resonating with the show’s core audience.

WilSon – Will Horton and Sonny Kiriakis – Days of our Lives

Days of our Lives delivered daytime’s first-ever gay male wedding in 2014, between Will (then played by Guy Wilson) and Sonny (then played by Freddie Smith).

In an interview with EW, Days of our Lives executive producer, Ken Corday shared on the union, “Will and Sonny have been together for a while and it was the natural progression of their love story. We didn’t feel like there was anything we could or couldn’t do, we treated them like any other couple on the canvas and continued to grow their romance as such.”

In addition, the coming out story of Will Horton was critically praised and noteworthy for the performances of Chandler Massey, who won three Daytime Emmys for his work in the Outstanding Younger Actor category 2012, 2013 and 2014.  Freddie Smith also won in the same category in 2015.  Will has been played over the years by Chandler Massey and Guy Wilson, while Sonny has been portrayed by Freddie Smith and Zach Tinker.

There have been several other key LGBTQ couples throughout the course of daytime history including All My Children’s Bianca (Eden Riegel) and Reese (Tamara Braun). These two characters were involved in the first same-sex lesbian wedding on daytime. Problem was … Reese kissed Zach (Thorsten Kaye) before the wedding, making this infuriating for viewers at home.

Other notable LGBTQ couples through the years have included: Bianca and Maggie on All My Children, Mariah and Tessa of The Young and the Restless played bv Camryn Grimes and Cait Fairbanks, Maya and Rick on The Bold and the Beautiful, Lucas and Brad on General Hospital and others.
