Kevin featured prominently in Millennium, so that's the story you want to scan to get up to speed on him.
I think, in a sense, you're right about Cody.
Your theory on Cody has merit, especially the thought that he might have a secret crush, but there is another possibility. We're seeing this through Kevin's eyes, and he's clearly pissed off at Cody, and thus he's jaded. He may not be right.
BTW, to clarify, Wade didn't invite Alex to live with him, he invited him to stay with him, which I assume both of them interpreted to mean Alex had a place to stay when he first arrived in the US. Think houseguest, not roommate.
Thanks for the review!
I think the fact that Jackie doesn't like Kevin, and that Alex doesn't like Kevin, probably are telling about Kevin's influence in Cody's life. They obviously had an acrimonious breakup, but we don't know why. Yet.
I'm glad you liked it! It's been quite a while since I've been to London, but I remember that parking was a problem, primarily from hearing people bitch about it. :-)

These parties were a lot different than they used to be. In the past, they’d been all but a prelude to an orgy, but now they were much classier. I might have attributed the change to the hostess, but Jackie certainly hadn’t made a revolutionary transformation into a genteel woman. I tended to attribute it to the changing attitudes toward sex and sexuality; being gay wasn’t something that had to be as hidden as it used to be, or at leas
Change is usually exciting and traumatic. I have to believe, having interacted with you for some time now, that you will manage that change remarkably well. Your new employers are very lucky.
I wondered where you'd gone to! I hope you had a nice vacation.
You really nailed Zach's situation when you compared him to a wishbone. I can see where he would be that way, though. He's moved into a completely new world, and he's left his old world largely behind. To him, it must seem so irrelevant now. And now that he's linked to Will, the support he used to get from his mother must seem much less relevant. Still, those parental ties can bind, so when the pull, it has an impact. It's unfortunate for Barry that he hasn't figured out the real dynamic there.
And thank you, Miles, for you kind words. I thought it would be fun, since the CAP crew was heading to London, to bring in our Bridgemont crew...or at least some of them.
Thanks Gary!
I think that what is really the most promising thing about Brad is that he's very self-aware. He knows what he needs to focus on (work and, to a lesser degree, family), he knows that he can't handle a committed relationship yet, and he is frustrated with the new dating scene he has to navigate.
As for Matt and Wade, I think you'll get a clearer picture in a couple of chapters.
Thanks Maarten!
You probably won't see any spoilers for the Bridgemont series in CAP, unless I screw up. That's why I used the senior branch (Freddie and Davina, etc.) and not one of the junior branches (George or Bertie).
Will wasn't really baiting JP at dinner, he was, with the others, just giving him a bad time in a friendly way. It's all good.
