It's the "Summer of (same-sex) Love" on the soaps right now. As we've previously reported, "One Life to Live" is gearing up for a major gay storyline in the form of Oliver Fish and Kyle Lewis. But "The Young and the Restless" has also been pushing the envelope with the recent development of very straight Adam sleeping with very gay Rafe to get him off the trail of Adam's gaslighting shenanigans ... plus, we've heard rumors that there may be a third gay character on the horizon. And we certainly couldn't forget "Nuke" (Noah and Luke), the popular couple burning up the airwaves over on "As The World Turns."

The Sapphic love is in full effect, too, with "Otalia" (Natalia and Olivia) causing quite a sensation on "Guiding Light" as it hurtles towards its dramatic finale. But no one holds a candle to "All My Children," daytime's go-to show for ladies in love (with other ladies).

So we thought it a perfect time to review some of our favorite Daytime Gay characters.
