Does Darren even know that Eduardo is crushing on him? He is jumping to a conclusion about the "date" I hope he doesn't email Price, it will only make things worse for him.
...We FINALLY get the 'old' Eduardo back (the more ethnic 'porcupine-headed' Latino, not the sandy-brown Tom Cruise knockoff, with the goatee), and yet, he regresses, in his MATURITY!!
...after all this time Ed was missing (he was the 2nd most 'gone' Male character, aside form Breyer), I was hoping NOT for a 'physical' change, but an emotional one; He is now a College attendee, was in that May-Dec. fling with Jake, and should have some goals & aspirations, to who HE wants to become, as a Young MAN entering the World...
...He bucked the ODDS, Man; tossed out by his homophobic Dad at 15, hustled his Body on the streets, caught stealing food at Kyle's B&B (by BRAD, no less), was allowed to stay...and, has become a part of his 'new' Family...but, should be entering a new stage of dating, employment, education, etc. ...and, I NEVER got the vibe that he was seriously interested in Darren!!
...Darren is low-KEY, Man, and we don't even KNOW if he's Gay; and if he WAS, it feels like a better 'fit' with Brad...Ed STILL comes on strong, with sexual bravado, and THAT ain't no way to snag a hot Comic Book geek...
...you leave a trail of "Captain Avenger" comic books, that lead to your BEDROOM! ...HA-HAAA!! ...Ah Ed, grow UP, Man, 1998, Cher's "Believe", & circuit parties, are PAST NEWS, Man.....
For those who think Eduardo was never seriously interested in Darren and vice versa you need to go back and reread the episodes where they interact with each other, it's as plain as day from their 1st & second meetings you just have to be able to read between the lines it's all there.
"...you just have to be able to read between the lines it's all there..." ....yeah, Man,I'm readin' that Darren AIN'T interested in Ed, romantically! ...ha-HAAA!!
...Darren isn't in ANY way 'down-low', but if he was "interested" in Ed, it would've seeped out by now; Dar had HOT chemistry with Price (..took NO mess from him, & had a bit of a 'Dom Top' vibe), while he seems sheepish, distant, & unresponsive to Ed's come-ons.....
...Ed wanting to 'party', while Dar is building (LITERALLY), the Comic Book collection of LIFE, seems to have NO interest in that, on his days off, as a Cop...
Darren & Brad would look sssssmokin' hot together, lyin' around in bikini briefs, watching Sports & reading "X-Men: Reloaded" & BANGIN' each others' BUTTS all day, on Sundays....Ed better not step in front of THAT,....If Darren is Gay, that is.... ; )
If by any chance Darren & Brad ever got together they would be the most BORING couple at the B&B and as for Price that ain't ever going to happen, Darren & Price have no chemistry what so ever and I can see Lance putting a stop to that before it even got started besides if any man got to close to Brad Price would put a hit out on them.
No one is saying Darren is "down low" he just hasn't verbalized he's gay which he doesn't have to do, his interactions with Eduardo is proof that 1 they have major chemistry and 2 Darren made it clear that there was something between him and Eduardo way back when he met Delia he just never defined what it was. Just because they don't share the same interest doesn't mean they're not meant to be together. Stop looking at the physical and pay attention to the emotional side of their friendship and you'll see they're meant to be together, Darren is the Yin and Eduardo in the Yang.
I'm not sure how this went from a trip to the comic book store to a "date" but I'm happy that Brad and Warren have a common interest in comics. Perhaps Eduardo should be less anti-comic since Warren clearly likes them.
Unrelated question: Is Brad never cold walking around in just his briefs? I mean, it is the dead of winter in the northeast.
It might sound crazy, but he could always fall back to honesty. Something like - 'I find you interesting and was wondering if you'd to have dinner with me. I would like to get to know you better' If he thinks he needs manipulation/games, he really should take a hard look at himself.
I think we can all agree that Darren's sexuality is unclear at the present time. Circumstantially, I'm not sure many straight men would feel comfortable a) living in a gay B&B b) with a guy who is openly flirting with them. But maybe he's an open-minded straight guy who loves the Legion more than he minds avoiding Eduardo. What do I know?
I do like that he and Brad have interests in common because Darren might open up to him and end the is-he/isn't-he suspense. Their friendship might also bring the Price/Brad storyline to a head. I would love to see more of that drama.
Finally, thank you @jjt: I don't care how warm-blooded Brad is or how high the heat is turned up in the B&B -- he's got to be freezing. I got goose bumps just looking at him.
Eduardo - calm down! It's not as if the comic store Darren and Brad are visiting is in the Swiss Alps. Darren will be home later in the evening. I don't get the feeling the comic book affinity is so widespread at the B&B outside Darren, possibly Richard (who likes cosplay), Kyle and now Brad, which came from nowhere. I'm also not sure Darren is definitely gay, he comes across as more questioning if not closeted. To "Unknown's" point, Darren would not live in this BnB if he wasn't comfortable. Speaking of which, I anticipate Jaime the baseball player divorcing and reuniting with Brad at the BnB, once again leaving Price in the cold. Time will tell. Lastly - Richard, get with the times: email Price? How about texting, Instagram or Whatsapp?
Why doesn't Eduardo show an interest in comic books? Comics may not be his cup of tea, but Eduardo could show an interest in what makes Darren happy. Then, Darren would be more amenable to go with Eduardo to Sunday tea!
Meet each other half way, fellas!
Leave it to Richard to eavesdrop. One of these days, he will regret it!
No need for Price for needless drama, when Richard's around!
Ha ha -- I just checked the last episode because I wasn't sure Darren's eyes were really "bugging out" at Brad. But sure enough -- totally bugging out.
As someone who's been in the military and is currently a police officer, Darren *must* be used to seeing other guys naked or semi-naked at this point.
Maybe if he's that taken aback by one particular guy's semi-nudity, that could be a clue that he really is attracted to Brad?
Anyway, speculating is fun, but I'm looking forward to getting the canonical answer soon.
I want to sympathize for Eduardo but he is still very young and into the circuit scene. he wanted to take Darren out to a bar and Darren was obviously not into the bar scene.
And yes Brad is annoying I've watched him over the years in this strip and all he does is parade around in his tighty whitey's , Who the devil wears tighty whiteys unless you're a 60 year old man with a paunch? Seriously it's bad enough that all the characters are drawn with these perfect bodies and rippling muscles. But Fox keeps doing the same lather rinse repeat storylines. That's even worse than an episode of Dynasty with Joan Collins. I mean Richard is like watching an episode of RuPaul's drag race. You can only take so much of it before you just have to shut it off.

When did Eduardo become such a whiny little bitch?
I've seen actual 12 year old girls with more maturity and perspective about boys.
Not a good look at all.

@ jjt,
His name is Darren
It might sound crazy, but he could always fall back to honesty. Something like - 'I find you interesting and was wondering if you'd to have dinner with me. I would like to get to know you better' If he thinks he needs manipulation/games, he really should take a hard look at himself.

And that ski cap on Kyle has to go!
@Wrangler, I thought Kyle looked cute in the blue ski cap :) His color. And it's cold in the northeast.

tighty whities for the win!

@jjt...you're right. At second glance, it looks adorable on Kyle.
We wear tightey-whiteys. Flat stomachs.
And you probably have skid marks
Better that than having a full on poopy butt like some of those in these comments... lol
