VH1’s “Hit The Floor” heats up with bisexual storyline

The sophomore season of VH1’s pro-basketball drama “Hit The Floor” is ending with some surprise heat as a bisexual storyline is kicking into gear:
The star player is named Zero and is played by an often shirtless Adam Senn. The agent, Jude, is played by Brent Antonello. Jude also happens to be the son of the team’s owner.
Since Zero had been involved in an affair with a scheming cheerleader, the relationship with Jude came as a bit of a surprise.
But a flirtation begins after Jude kisses Zero and is initially rebuffed. But when Jude becomes interested in a photographer’s assistant (played by openly gay actor Scott Evans, the brother of Chris Evans), the player cannot contain his jealousy.
The final episode of Season 2 airs August 11th, with the third season beginning sometime in May 2015.
You can see all the related storyline scenes below. I like the tribal drums as things heat up in the last scene.

Chris Evans sat down with Jimmy Fallon last night on The Tonight Show to promote his new movie “Captain America – The Winter Soldier” which opens this Friday. Can’t wait!
As part of the festivities, however, Jimmy asked Chris’ brother, Scott Evans (who played gay cop Oliver Fish on One Life To Live), to come out and play the “Sibling-Wed Game,” where each brother is asked questions and they must try to give the same answer.
From the sound of things, it looks like Chris got the best of Scott a lot of the time while growing up. But they both are very cute in the segments. Chris’ joy over the childhood events is contagious.
