Is it really necessary for Ian to explore heterosexuality this season?


I mean, it's already been established that Ian is not into women because when Karen went down on him back in season one, he didn't get anything out of it.

To be fair, he looked uncomfortable af. But the storyline seems like a filler and will be funny based on the trailer.

YEah, it's gross and unnecessary. He's gone through so much to accept and be himself. This is just bad writing. I'm really disappointed in who he chose to be with and my gut instinct is totally right on the money- he needs to find a real man and tell this firefighter dumbass to *beep* off.

He's probably just doing it to get back at Caleb. I doubt (and hope) it won't go on too long. I love his and Mandi's friendship.

All this will probably be that overused plot device to break them up, you know, the one where one person in a couple thinks the other is cheating, so THEY cheat, they discover the other wasn't cheating after all (they misunderstood the situation), they keep THEIR affair a secret and it eventually all comes out and breaks them up. I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm not... yawn.

You are...there is a clip where Ian talks to Lip after he talks to Caleb out. Caleb did cheat and that was probably the end of the relationship. So this is probably a one episode thing that Caleb put into Ian's head.

It would be kind of hard for Caleb to "not actually be cheating (it was all a misunderstanding)" after what we saw

reply

I agree, it's clearly cheating.
