And yet another gay couple was featured in the eight o’clock soap opera, “Paraíso Tropical”. Unlike Carlos Casagrande and Sérgio Abreu, who live as aseptic and “well-resolved” gays, the new character Hugo and his boyfriend are more attractive. The biggest obstacle in Hugo's life will be his prejudiced parents, who pay for his perks, such as a safe car and trips to Europe. This is actor Marcelo Laham's second work at Globo. His debut was in “Celebridade” (2004), also by the author Gilberto Braga, as paparazzo Ivan. In the episode that aired on Monday (26), Taís (Alessandra Negrini) acted as Hugo's girlfriend at a dinner with the boy's parents. According to websites specializing in soap operas, Paula's twin sister, interested in herself, will even offer to marry him. Having two gay couples on a primetime soap opera is new. Only the main thing is missing… And the gay kiss?
