British TV Show Hollyoaks Gay Interracial Love Triangle Storyline: Noah,Ste, & Brendan!!

I am very impressed with the British TV show Hollyaoaks!  I just discovered the program on You Tube yesterday. I really like the gay love triangle storyline between Noah, Ste, and Brendan. I notice that Noah is a confident, young, gay black man he is not conflicted with his homosexuality. It is very refreshing to see a young gay black man not be a tortured, depressed, character.

However, Ste the white British youth is very conflicted about his sexuality. Ste loves Noah and Brendan. Brendan is an older gay man and he clearly is not good for Ste. Ste and Brendan have a codependent relationship they basically are manipulating and hurting each other. Ste is clearly very attracted to Brendan but he realizes Brendan cannot give him the kind of homosexual relationship he wants. Meanwhile, Noah is a good person, he is a well adjusted young gay black man. Ste desires a loving relationship with Noah but he is conflicted about his feelings for him.   Who will Ste choose Noah or Brendan? I think the British are more progressive in dealing with race and sexuality issues on television than North Americans. I wonder, would a storyline between two gay teens in an interracial relationship ever occur on North American television?
