Reuben Milner & Jonathan James on Shortland Street (2018)

Shortland Street's gay storyline has been heating up. Medical student Jack (played by Reuben Milner) befriended the new surgeon Lincoln (played by Alex Tarrant), who vented about his relationship problems to Jack while naked in the locker room. Jack pushed aside his attraction to Lincoln, instead embarking on a random hookup with Connor (played by Jonathan James), who turned out to be Lincoln's cheating partner. This week, Connor looked to get back into Jack's pants, revealing his relationship with Lincoln was now an open one. Despite getting Linc's blessing in the August 7th episode, Jack put the brakes on after their shirts came off. Linc soon arrived to stop the two from sleeping together, leading Connor to break-up with him. Despite the drama, Jack & Linc agreed to continue their friendship.
