Queer TV you can always see
The Young & The Restless A tempest in soapland erupted May 21 when the devoutly Catholic Chris Engen allegedly walked off the set rather than play a gay scene that included a same-sex kiss. “Y&R” has finally introduced a gay character, Rafe Torres, after 30 years. Engen, who plays Adam Wilson, had been in conflict with the writers for several months about the direction his character was taking. So, Michael Muhney will assume the role of Adam on June 25. Since Adam has been heterosexual throughout his tenure at “Y&R,” it’s difficult to imagine how the writers will twist a gay storyline out of him. Monday-Friday, 12:30 p.m. on CBS.
