* GetBackInTheCloset: The show attempted a lesbian love story in the early '80's with Donna becoming attracted to her therapist, but negative fan reaction nixed it and her therapist helped her understand that she wasn't really gay, just displaying transference, a phenomenon in which people become attracted to their counselors. And despite the aforementioned GayAesop, other gay characters like Michael Delaney and Kevin Sheffield soon disappeared after their ComingOutStory. Even Bianca was subjected to this after revealing she was a lesbian--she had one disastrous relationship after another, was raped (which many viewers felt was the writers way of punishing her), and even paired with a pre-op transgender woman (which viewers felt was a roundabout way of having her in a relationship with a man).
