There’s no denying that Mondays can be a bitch. It’s always hard to go back to the office after having a fun-filled weekend. Thankfully, two brand new shows make starting the week a bit easier for me. I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy The Carrie Diaries and The Following as much as I do. And that’s before both shows featured two gay kisses during last week’s episode. Since a new episode of each airs tonight, I thought it was a perfect time to blog about aforementioned smooches.
On The Carrie Diaries, Carrie (AnnaSophia Robb) and her best friend Walt (Brendan Dooling) celebrated Halloween in NYC. At the party, they meet Interview writer Bennett (Jake Robinson). During a chat, Bennett leans over and gives Walt his first man-on-man kiss. Still struggling to deal with his sexuality, Walt runs and heads back home to have sex with his ex-girlfriend Maggie (Katie Findlay). Side note: Check out our interview with Katie.
Over on The Following, two straight aspiring serial killers Will (Nico Tortorella) and Billy (Adan Canto) pretend to be gay to befriend a victim. After a series of flashbacks, we learn that during a drunken night, the two actually hooked up. This eventually leads to Billy developing real feelings for Will. Check out their angst-ridden kiss below, along with the Carrie Diaries’ one.

The Following Gay Kiss
Loading ...Which kiss was hotter? Are you watching both freshmen shows? While The Following had a great start from the get go, The Carrie Diaries opened quite softly. That said, as the weeks have gone on and good word of mouth has spread, the CW show’s ratings are improving weekly. I really hope it gets a second season renewal. AnnaSophia Robb is the perfect teen Carrie Bradshaw. I can’t get over how she and the writers have so perfectly managed to channel the original HBO series with regards to voiceovers and hilariously awkward segues. Sound off below.

Which was hotter… the awkward first kiss involving a questioning guy or the drunken kiss between two wannabe serial killers. Neither.
But if I voted for which was better, I would say Carrie Diaries because it was a real kiss that did not involve being drunk.

That’s the first extended footage I’ve watched of The Carried Diaries… yikes, that’s some bad acting going on right there and some clunky dialogue too.

Why is anyone voting on The Following? Apparently they’re both from The Carrie Diaries based on their titles.
The second one is better, though.

LOL, yea they forgot to change the heading above the second video, but it’s the one from the The Following. The one where two straight guys get drunk and suddenly decide to have full on sex – cuz it only takes beer to turn two guys gay at the same time. Whatever, it’s such an annoying storyline. It would be one thing if they both got drunk and one of them kissed the other and it was weird. But two straight guys (drunk or not) suddenly having sex with each other is not believable. And Billy is not gay, he’s just territorial and psychopathic. He got mad at Emma for making him a third wheel, so he decided to slam a random girl against his car multiple times. He’s not secretly gay, he’s just immature and wants his friend back.
