That's the problem unfortunately. It's exactly why I keep saying it's better off being a weekly series or a movie. The crew wouldn't be stretching scenes for 5 hours when they could be done in 15-30 minutes. That kind of production flaw actually doesn't apply only to this show, but to every primetime telenovela. ABS-CBN seems to have mastered working around it, but GMA's struggle is real and it shows far too often.
I'm still here for nightly gay sex scenes, but I doubt we'll actually get any concrete steaming hot scenes. They only do that for big blockbuster movies.
This show actually opened my eyes on how ignorant a lot of people still are with regards to homosexuality. Several family friends insist that everything is Eric's fault and he's the only gay one and that Vincent is 100% straight.
I mean, what kind of projected denial?
