Exactly. They've rushed it and in doing so made it look like one snog from Maria has turned him. It's badly done and embarrassing.

Usually people are gay it's just pressures of society that make them 'conform' and act heterosexual. This story line is a little different as Marcus is happily gay but falls for his best friend who happens to be female. The idea is very interesting but as I've already suggested I'm finding it badly done.
