Maureen and Janet have three sons and have also raised Morgan’s niece.

Congrats Maureen. I sure didn’t see this one coming, but its wonderful that she feels comfortable and another great example of how soap operas can open doors. Maureen played a heterosexual character on a show which debuted one of the most popular lesbian loves stories – Otalia – Olivia and Natalia.

Currently, two soaps have LGBT characters – Days’ Sonny Kiriakis and Will Horton and Bold and the Beautiful’s Karen Spencer and Danielle (to my knowledge Danielle does not have a last name yet.)  General Hospital’s off-the-canvas Lucas Jones is openly gay. Young & the Restless has a gay secondary character Rafe is also openly gay with no storyline. Rumor has it Y&R is supposed to out a major “younger” character – possibly Kyle Abbott, possibly Summer Newman or even Fen Baldwin?

I’ve long posited that LGBT characters on soaps have paved the way for much acceptance and I think the same holds true for the actors.
