I feel like the Eric storyline was a little problematic? I dunno. I don't want to speak for the gays or anything, but it seemed that the whole "he wants to be out and comfortably gay" thing was actually not what it was all about ... what he wanted was to be "on the scene", essentially living up to the stereotypical image that exists of gay men being, for want of a gentler way to put it, promiscuous partying ****boys. It had very little to do with how comfortable Adam is in being gay - he's just not the type of person who is EVER going to want to put on an orange suit and dance the night away in a club. He wants to train his little doggo, snuggle up with a boyfriend on the couch and have some hot chocolate. It came across not as Eric being mad that he's not "out enough" - but that he thinks he's "the wrong kind of gay" :umm2:.
I agree about Ruby to an extent, I don't think her and Otis made a particularly good pairing BUT they basically did half a season of character development (rounding her out into a real character, introducing her dad and the clear issues there, etc.) and then they just ... cut it short and turned her back into a caricature. A strange choice.
I fully agree about the baby-daddy twist, not a fan, that storyline was fine and had plenty more steam in it as it was with him as the dad. It didn't need that twist :shrug:.
