- The only one that isn't aware of the situation is Jack's mom.
Every once in a while, they bump uglies, Will freaks out, denies it, everyone else goes with it because he keeps them sane.
- I wouldn't rule it out entirely but there are in universe explanations for all those things. Karen's connections keep Grace in business (mentioned in the first episode and shown repeatedly) so odds are she has time to work on her faces because she's doing a few job for a lot of money rather than a lot of jobs for a little money. For Karen's part she has a frequent and enjoyable place to go to to get away from Stan and the kids and she absolutely adores Grace. This way she gets to spend the day with someone she likes without any real responsabilities, she's not lacking for money so what little work, and her important connections, are a free service which further helps Grace. Karen doesn't need to work for Grace, for either money or a place to be away from home, she can do that anywhere, she wants to be with Grace.
Let's see: Will and Jack are gay,but rarely go out and DON'T cruise. They date...but only "normal-looking gays" never any club kids or freaks.The most funny character is a nominally bi woman who also never "indulges" her bi tendencies.Who is also married.At the end of the show,only the straight woman gets a "happy ever after."
Traditional story lines....nominally traditional gender roles....no over-the-top or outrageous behavior (well..not very much.)Would a gay writer have written this trite show?Perhaps...If he were also Born again....!!!Dum-dum-dum-DUUUUUUUMMMM
- I'm sorry, what? It's not only the straight woman who gets a happy ever after. All the characters do. Will ends up with his life partner and a child, as does Grace and Jack and Karen live out their days together, rich and old. Everyone got a happy ending.
- And they go out cruising a lot too; Jack mentions it every other episode.
- They made out a lot. And there was the time Karen made the remark about "red hair on my pillow and lesbian porn in my VCR. And that one episode where they kissed goodnight before going to sleep.
- Not a very exciting WMG but since they had a child stayed together for at least 18 years after the end of the show, and New York legalised gay marriage last year, it seems like it would make sense.
- In "Grace's Secret" it's revealed that her father's best friend Harry sexually assaulted her as a teenager and that goes a long way towards explaining why she seemingly always looks for excuses to break up with the men in her life, because deep down she's afraid of the same thing happening to her again, so she was subconsciously finding excuses to end her relationships to protect her from getting hurt again.
