Ambiguously Bi / Live-Action TV

Ambiguously Bi characters in Live-Action TV.

A No Recent Examples rule applies to this trope. Examples for episodic works shouldn't be added until end of season for the season introducing the ambiguity (or after 3 months, for episodic works without seasons). This is to allow time for the story to develop the character and resolve ambiguity. There is no waiting time for non-episodic works.

---

The following have their own pages:

• It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

---

• 2 Broke Girls: Caroline and Max. The series plays with their relationship but also makes it clear that both are attracted to guys. They also seem to have no problem with kissing each other and Max comments, whether jokingly or not, that she'd "come out" for Lisbeth of the Millennium Series, and that she's kissed girls before. Not to mention her other snarky double entendres.
• Evan "Buck" Buckley of 9-1-1. Although he's had relationships with women, his friendship with Eddie does lead to questions. He's also been Mistaken for Gay by a Christmas worker who saw them together. When Josh jokes that Maddie is setting up him and Buck, the only reason she says she wouldn't do that is that Buck is a mess, rather than saying he's straight.
  • No longer ambiguous — Buck is revealed to be bisexual in Season 7, and is dating a man.
• Accused (2023): In "Robyn's Story" Jamie insists he really loves his wife Natalie, though he also secretly dates gay drag queen Robyn. Both of them assume he's just gay and in denial, but it isn't clear if Jamie's also genuinely attracted to her.
• Agent Carter:
  • Howard Stark, notorious playboy and womanizer, has his feelings for Steve paralleled with Peggy's twice, easily interpreted that Howard loved Steve romantically, just as Peggy did.
    Howard: I know how much he meant to you, because I know how much he means to me.
    and
    Peggy: [as Howard is risking his life in an attempt to save Steve] I know you loved him. I loved him too. But this won’t bring him back. Steve is gone. We have to move on, all of us. As impossible as that may sound, we have to let him go.
• On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Leo Fitz acknowledges out loud that he subconsciously finds another male character (Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie) attractive, and he says this to a hallucination of Jemma Simmons, with whom he would later pursue a relationship.
• Almost Family: Julia's birth father Mark says he was mostly in straight relationships when he had been with her mom, indicating he might be bisexual or just hadn't fully accepted being gay.
• Penelope Taynt of The Amanda Show is utterly obsessed with Amanda and once had a thing with a guy who was just as obsessed with Amanda as she was.
• Gob on Arrested Development has a few moments in the first 3 seasons — including hitting on Gary the intern (and getting Gary to sit on his lap) and mistaking a middle-aged married couple for escorts but being prepared to have sex with both of them anyway. In Season 4, he has sex with Tony Wonder, and Michael's reaction implies he was aware Gob wasn't completely straight ("I knew it! I always knew it!")
• Arrowverse:
  • Arrow: Sin, who rocks boyish short hair and androgynous clothes, is this in-universe, as when Thea is helping her get ready for a fake date, Thea says she'll help Sin get her man — or woman. Sin herself has never said much on the subject one way or another.
  • Supergirl (2015): Kara had a crush on James and dated a lot of guys including her occasional Love Interest, Mon-El. Her close relationship with Lena has been a topic of spectaculation since Season 2, but the trope most applies to her interactions with Kate Kane in the Elseworlds crossover. Kara openly admits to having used her X-Ray Vision to see through Kate's clothes and Kate very openly flirts with her the entire episode.
  • It'd be easier to list which members of the team aren't in Legends of Tomorrow:
    • Ray Palmer who has relationships with several women, but his relationship with Nate can be interpreted in a less platonic way. Given their openness to say I love you, Ray kissing Nate goodbye on the cheek and forehead touching, it's easy to see why. He also comments on the attractiveness of several men.
    • Nate is very similar. He ends up in relationships with Amaya and later Zari, but he frequently makes comments about the attractiveness of other men, especially Ray. At Hank's funeral, they even give each other a kiss on the cheek without thinking. He also has a "man crush" on Dion.
    • Leonard Snart, although this is most likely deliberate, given that Wentworth Miller pitched the idea to the writers that the characters was pansexual.
    • Wally had a relationship with Jesse Quick, but is also quick to comment on Nate's attractiveness.
    • Zari spends her entire first season without a love interest but does end with a crush on Jonah Hex. In her second season, she ends up dating Nate. She constantly talks about her hatred and distrust of men. She also admits that Amaya is hot and doesn't give an answer when Charlie asks if she's straight.
• Being Human (US):
  • Sally tends to come off as this on occasion. For instance, while talking at Emily, Josh's sister, she says she could make her feel happy. Also when Nora comes over Sally promptly quips that she's hot and has nice boobs. However, she's only seen dating or sleeping with men.
  • In her final appearance on the series in Season 4, Zoe is in a relationship with a woman named Lori, but she states that she doesn't know what she is, basically neither identifying as a lesbian nor as bisexual and that she's figuring it out. In relation to her earlier relationship with Nick when Sally makes a statement about her being a lesbian, Zoe points out that when she got together with Nick he was ghost making it that they couldn't have physical contact, which adds to the possibility that she was never really attracted to men at all.
• Better Things: In Season 3 Sam is pursued by Mer, a younger English lesbian who hits on her repeatedly, convinced that she's not straight. Sam at first says she is, but doesn't dislike this attention either, saying she's always wanted to go through a "girl phase". However, if it's anything more Sam doesn't appear ready to explore possible bisexuality yet and Mer realizes this, backing off after being turned down on a proposition.
• The Big Bang Theory:
  • Amy Farrah Fowler makes constant remarks about how sexy her (female) bestie Penny is, and even kisses her at one point, but still vies for the affections of men and Sheldon.
  • Raj has shown to be attracted to women, yet has strong Ho Yay tendencies with Howard.
• Black Mirror: Striking Vipers explores the muddling of sexuality through technology. Danny and Karl are old university buddies, Danny is married to a woman and Karl is a player who regularly dates younger women. When they play a Deep Immersion fighting game to relive old times they end up having sex as a male character and a female character respectively, which becomes a regular thing. It's unclear if Karl has any interest in other men in real life, but it is clear that his active dating life with real women slows down and eventually ceases altogether. Danny finds the digital affair having a strain on his real marriage, but Karl insists that it's not "real cheating".
• Black Sails: Flint's orientation is hard to pinpoint. He is shown having sex with both Thomas and Miranda as Miranda was fine with Flint being involved with her own husband if Flint satisfied her strong sexual appetite. They continue to have sex with each other even after Thomas dies but Flint does not seem to enjoy it. He was also angry with Miranda at the time and they aren’t shown in any other sexual encounters after it.
• Brooklyn Nine-Nine:
  • Jake has had a number of female love interests and is still bitter years later about his childhood crush dumping him at his own bar mitzvah. Despite this, he has a habit of commenting on the handsomeness of other men and asks out Holt's art teacher in one episode (though it's unclear if this was a joke or not). He also has no problem with kissing Holt on the mouth to break out of jail, and later comments that he had really soft lips. Season 6 plays this up a lot, to the point that it happens nearly Once per Episode.
  • Charles clearly loves women, probably a little too much. Despite this, he's very In Touch with His Feminine Side, and has such a strong friendship with Jake that it calls the "heterosexual" part of Heterosexual Life-Partners into question. He even says at one point that his ideal marriage would be a polyamorous relationship consisting of himself, a wife, and Jake. That's not even getting into his habit of making homoerotic Accidental Innuendos.
  • Gina constantly thirsts after hot guys and makes it clear that she has a thing for Terry. She also very eagerly offers to teach Amy how to kiss at one point, and implies in another episode that she has an attraction to Téa Leoni from Bad Boys (1995). She also has a lot of lesbian friends to set up with Rosa when she comes out. The subtext more or less becomes text when she points out to Rosa that if their life situations were different, they would make a perfect couple, to which Rosa agrees.
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
  • Faith routinely has sex with guys — though, if her treatment of Xander is any indication, she never has any emotional or romantic feelings for them — but also has huge Les yay/Foe yay with Buffy, and occasionally Willow. She also has some innuendo with Lilah in her first Angel arc (it's been said in interviews that this was so strong in early takes that the actresses were ordered to tone it down). Her having a crush on Buffy is seemingly confirmed by the First as the Mayor in Season 7, and her actress, Eliza Dushku, said that she always thought that Faith definitely had something for Buffy. In Season 8 Faith herself denies this, but it isn't like this would be the first time Faith has lied about something personal, and the very same arc included some heavy-handed lesbian innuendo between Faith and Gigi.
  • Buffy was definitely in love with Angel and Riley (and whatever she had with Spike), but her legendary Les Yay with Faith was hardly one-sided, her and Willow have all the signs of a Pseudo-Romantic Friendship, and Season 5 kept drawing parallels between her and Dawn and Willow and Tara. In Season 9, she thinks she slept with Willow after a night of partying but didn't. This ambiguity is likely due to the Buffyverse having No Bisexuals.
  • In the first three seasons this was the case for both Willow and Xander, having explicit crushes and relationships with men and women respectively, but also creating lots of subtext and various (intentional and unintentional) homoerotic comments. Then Willow came out as a supposed lesbian and they both...became even more ambiguous (especially when Spike was involved, in Xander's case). Even after becoming Tara's girlfriend, Willow admitted to having had a crush on Giles years before and found Dracula sexy. According to Word of God, he was told that Willow couldn't be made bisexual, as at the time it was still widely believed it didn't exist, and people would instead assume her dating Tara was only a phase.
  • Anya occasionally has Ship Tease with Willow, particularly when they cast a spell together and she asks if it will get "a little sexy" (referencing how Willow and Tara's relationship was paralleled with their exploration of magic).
  • The group of Darla, Angelus, Drusilla, and Spike were implied to be in a sort-of poly relationship on top of the usual Darla/Angelus and Drusilla/Spike couples, and are shown to be very affectionate (in their own way) with each other and plenty of others regardless of gender. Vampires in general are implied to be bisexual by nature, but these four were the only ones that got more than a comment or two towards it.
• Charmed (1998): although Phoebe only dates men throughout the series, she shares many close moments with the demonic seer Kyra. As both have premonition powers, they're able to sense that they care about each other, and Phoebe even has to view Kyra's vision by Holding Hands. She also refers to seeing Kyra's vanquish as "the most terrible" thing she could have seen.
• Rebecca from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend sleeps with many guys and the entire plot revolves around her crossing the country to chase after an old boyfriend, but she's also really into Valencia, to the point of trying to make out with her in the second episode. Naturally this is part of her obsession with becoming her, but even next season when their relationship is at least closer to normal, she still seems rather fixated on seeing her naked. In the Season 3 episode Oh, Nathaniel, It's On!, Rebecca refers to herself as having "bi tendencies" and calls herself a Kinsey Scale 1.8, with the Kinsey Scale ranging from 0 (straight) to 6 (gay).
• Community:
  • Annie is shown dating and expressing interest in several men over the course of the series, but also shows interest in kissing Britta at one point, as well as acknowledging the potential for her to be a sexual prospect. She also exhibits no difficulty in roleplaying sex with a female character during a D&D game, albeit while playing as Hector the Well-Endowed
  • Jeff dates, sleeps with, or shows romantic/sexual interest in multiple women over the course the series, but also appears to appreciate the attention of other men, such as in Advanced Gay
  • Troy shows interest in women throughout the series, though he also expresses a penchant for "butt-stuff", "can see why women find Clive Owen attractive to the point where [he] might just as well be attracted to him", and shows an extreme level of attachment with Abed, to the point that it resembles a long term romantic partnership, and is even referred to as such (albeit jokingly) by other characters.
• Daredevil (2015) has Russian crime boss Anatoly Ranskahov. When Wesley pretends not to know about Anatoly's death while talking to his brother Vladimir, he asks whether Anatoly has "a girl — or a boy — he might be celebrating with". Since Wesley is unfailingly polite and would probably not risk insulting a Russian man's beloved brother by insinuating him to be bisexual without cause and Vladimir lets it slide without comment, there may be some truth to it.
• Das Boot: Carla is romantically involved with Simone, but also implied to have a thing for Philip.
• Dickinson: Emily recalls some signs that Ben was in fact attracted to her brother Austin, fearing he liked him more than her. However, this should be taken with a grain of salt, since it occurs to her in one of her dream sequences and is reflective of her insecurities.
• Doctor Who:
  • Ace. Although she sometimes has romantic subtext with a male guest character, especially Mike in "Remembrance of the Daleks" and Sorin in "The Curse of Fenric", she also forms some very intense relationships with other young women. Especially in "Ghost Light" (in which she dresses up in male Victorian evening dress in a way that in a classic Hollywood movie would scream "lesbian" and then runs around holding hands with a girl, with whom she has two separate Cat Fights, one on a bed) and "Survival" (in which the scriptwriter explicitly declared that the very "Women Who Run With The Wolves" relationship between her and werecheetah Karra was deliberately homoerotic). However, her appearances in adult-aimed Expanded Universe material with more overt sexual content depict her as straight.
  • Clara. There are multiple versions of her throughout history because… It's a Long Story. One of her, a guest star from some time ago, was in a relationship with a woman at one point. The one who is now a main cast member has a man as her only known love interest but, aside from the one who was with a woman at one point being her too, she also regularly makes homoerotic comments. For example: she mentions that Jane Austen is a "phenomenal kisser". When shown a picture of Amy Pond, she loudly admires the fact that "That woman's made of legs!"
  • The good ol' Doc themself. Eight was all but stated to have had romantic relationships with both male and female Companions (he kisses Grace in his only televised outing, and Big Finish all but states he and Fritz are in a relationship). The Eleventh Doctor has a metric buttload of playful Ho Yay with Rory Williams, full on snogging him once. There are other offhand lines, such as referring to Amy's male friend as "the good-looking one," or saying of the American founding fathers, "Lovely fellows. Two of them fancied me," or of a wedding, "I danced with everyone at their wedding. The women were all brilliant. The men... were a bit shy." However, he's accidentally been married to women on multiple occasions, and though the No Hugging, No Kissing rule exists he's had an Implied Love Interest relationship with more than one female companion in the new and old series, and he does have a granddaughter. However however, the Doctor's view of sex and romance has always been very alien. Being kissed and left totally bewildered by it is a Running Gag over multiple incarnations, and there are also a ton of instances like where someone said he wouldn't mind putting the "Dark Water" that makes non-organic matter transparent while leaving organic material present (thus hiding until the climax that the skeletons in a mausoleum aren't skeletons, they're Cybermen!) in a swimming pool, the Doctor was genuinely confused as to why. It would seem that they have a sexuality, but it's quite alien. On top of that, throw in regeneration; their idea of sexuality might be as malleable as other aspects of them that change with the incarnation. Steven Moffat once said that if you asked Eleventh, at least, what his sexuality was, you would probably first have to explain to him what the options were.
  • More than one male character has not minded his Ho Yay moments with the Doctor much at all, but it went no further than that. Also, as this is a show that, since the Revival, does not shy away from having characters who are gay or bi, ambiguous moments are more ambiguous than in other series. Considering we have Jack Harkness and an ancient reptile-woman Ace Detective and her wife as Recurrers, characters who have Ho Yay and Ship Tease moments but no further are a bit harder to pin down when it comes to their intended sexuality or relationship status.
• In the second season of Doom Patrol (2019), there are hints that Dorothy has a Precocious Crush on Cyborg, as she fawns over him as a "proper superhero" and when she's reverted to a child in "Immortimas Patrol", she's clearly eager to hang out with him. On the other hand, after hitting puberty in the third season, she dresses like a tomboy, in jeans with a jacket, she camps out on Danny Street, and when circumstances call upon her to summon a champion to defend her, she summons Space Case, a super-powered lesbian, and Dorothy can be seen staring admiringly at her a few times.
• Bucky Barnes in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In the first episode, he mentions attempting online dating and complains about running into a lot of "tiger photos". "Tiger photos" are a meme overwhelmingly associated with male profiles on Tinder and Grindr, especially those seeking to look manly.
• In Falling Water, when Tess brings her agent to meet her mother Charlotte, Charlotte asks if the two women are sleeping together, implying that the agent would not be the first woman Tess has brought home with her. Of course, it later turns out that Charlotte has been gaslighting Tess about her sex life for years to cover up the fact that she gave Tess' son to the Green, so it's possible that Charlotte is exaggerating.
• Fantasy Island (2021): The pilot episode establishes that Ruby feels attracted to women, and her husband encourages her to explore that. The ambiguous part is her feelings towards her husband. She seems to feel deep affection and perhaps some degree of physical attraction. She tells Mel she loves him and their family, and that she wouldn't change a thing. He replies that she doesn't love him the same way he loves her. Did she view their relationship as a Marriage of Convenience? Did she choose a conventional straight family over the openly gay life she secretly wanted? Or did she feel some level of attraction to Mel, just not as strong as his attraction for her?
• Chiana in Farscape. She is never clearly stated to have slept with a woman, but she flirts with everyone at some point, including several female regulars. Then it stopped being ambiguous when the gang encountered a shapechanging Emotion Eater monster that could permanently remove emotions from people after provoking them. It ate Chiana's libido (don't worry, she got better). While disguised as a humanoid woman.
• Fate: The Winx Saga:
  • Riven has an explicit relationship with Beatrix but at the same time enjoys teasing Dane a lot for his apparent homosexuality and seems all too positively interested in being the object of his sexual desires.
  • Dane an obvious crush on Riven, but seems to enjoy it when Beatrix joins in, and Musa's empath powers do say he "likes" Terra - though she doesn't know if it's platonically or not. When Riven asks if he's gay, he replies with "fuck off".
• Father Brown: Lady Felicia's made no secret of her attraction for men, but she also shares a kiss and some romantic tension with a female suspect in "[Father Brown S 3 E 8[ The Lair of the Libertines]".
• In one episode of Father Ted, Father Jack Hackett, a foul-mouthed, skirt-chasing horndog, climbs naked into bed with Bishop Brennan (albeit while sleepwalking), and, after waking up and realizing where he is, remains in bed with him.
• Firefly: Kaylee is in love with Simon, but looks just as ecstatic as Jayne when she learns Inara is with a female client.
• JP on Fresh Meat. Although he's shown having a healthy interest in women, he also experimented in public school with his male best friend. He angsts about what it means when he finds out that his friend is gay. Later on, he gets a little too much into kissing Kingsley on a dare.
• Phoebe from Friends dated numerous guys, but also showed attraction to many women like Ross and Monica's cousin in the eponymous episode or even Monica and Rachel themselves. When presented with the hypothetical question of who she would have a relationship with between Monica and Rachel, she immediately blurts out "Rachel!" without taking time to think. She also said that Monica has "the breasts of a Greek goddess" with a longing look on her face. In "The One Where Chandler Takes A Bath", she tells Joey she had crushes on all her friends except Ross and Chandler.
• Game of Thrones:
  • Margaery Tyrell married Renly and Tommen, attempting to sleep with both and succeeding with the latter. However, when talking with Sansa about romance, she lists the guys in a monotone voice, but perks up when she gets to "pretty girls." Then she talks about how sad it is that most girls don't get to try everything they want, and looks directly at Sansa.
  • Ramsay has an explicit relationship with Myranda but his "games" with Theon/Reek are filled with 100% nightmare-inducing homosexual undertones. In Season 4, he helps Theon/Reek bathe and even asks if Reek loves him.
  • Daenerys has more than a few quasi-romantic moments with Doreah and Missandei, and she seems amused when Yara Greyjoy flirts with her. She's only ever consummated things with men as far as we know, though. In the books, she does take Irri into her bed on a couple of occasions between Khal Drogo's death and when she eventually hooks up with Daario.
  • It's highly debatable with Selyse; she seems to ogle a naked Melisandre, but the look on her face is open to interpretation. Is it desire for the Red Woman, or jealousy of such a perfect-bodied, confident, powerful woman who gave Stannis a son? With the revelation of Melisandre's true form, some are positing whether or not Selyse was witness to this beforehand, since Melisandre was not wearing the necklace that supports her magic at the time.
• Gilmore Girls: Rory primarily dates guys, but when her friends mention that she and Paris would make a cute couple, she denies it on the grounds of Paris being "too high maintenance," implying gender wouldn't be an issue.
• Glee: Given all the gay and straight relationships a lot of characters come off as this, namely Rachel, Artie, and Sam.
• On The Golden Girls, Blanche is a Lovable Sex Maniac in extremis and has been with hundreds, if not thousands, of men over the years. However, a few episodes drop hints that she is, if not openly attracted to women, at the very least not opposed to the idea of experimenting with them. In "Dateline: Miami," she recalls a bad New Year's Eve where she considered kissing Rose at midnight to avoid bad luck (Rose stopped her in that case), and in "Yokel Hero," when a nervous Dorothy tells her "there's something we should do" (referring to cleaning up their latest Zany Scheme), Blanche casually remarks "Dorothy, I like you as a friend, but I think I'll pass." And let's not forget when Blanche went four days without having sex:
  Blanche: Dorothy, you have to help me. You have to DO SOMETHING.
  Dorothy: Blanche, there is nothing I can do, so get that look out of your eye and let go of my hand!
• The Good Place:
  • Tahani Al-Jamil. She's been attracted to both Chidi and Jason at separate points, but has a lot of borderline-flirty moments with her best friend Eleanor as well.^note Jameela Jamil has stated she played Tahani as a closet lesbian.Eleanor is canonically bisexual and has an expressed an attraction to Tahani, sometimes openly flirting with her, and Tahani doesn't appear to mind this. We also find out that in at least one of the reboots, Michael set the two of them up as soulmates, and Tahani seemed quite eager to impress Eleanor upon their first meeting. Then there's this bit of dialogue...
    Tahani: Oh, this is silly. So, "Tahani" means "congratulations" in Arabic. And "Al-Jamil" means "beautiful," so my full name all together means...
    Eleanor: "Congratulations, beautiful."
    Tahani: (smiling) Thanks, Eleanor. You big flirt.
  • Chidi's girlfriend Simone is an unusual case, as in "real life," she only ever expresses interest in men. However, Janet (who quite literally knows everything) creates a hyper-realistic simulation which includes Simone. By Janet's own admission, the unpredictability of life means the simulation can't be 100% accurate, but since she knows everything there is to know about Simone, it's about as close as it gets. In one run in the simulation, Eleanor and Simone chat, which then turns into them flirting and holding hands, and Eleanor leaning in for a kiss (Chidi stops her, much to her annoyance). Simone appears to be just as into it as she is, indicating that if the simulation is as accurate as Janet says, she might be bisexual and not averse to the idea of hooking up with Eleanor.
• Gotham:
  • Although Oswald “The Penguin” Cobblepot makes his attraction to Ed Nygma explicit, his actor Robin Lord Taylor has suggested that if a woman had treated him with the decency that Ed showed him, he would likely fall for her as well; supporting Taylor’s theory, Oswald does not take Sofia Falcone kissing James Gordon very well, even though he does not explicitly express attraction toward her.
  • Though Jeremiah Valeska has a girlfriend/follower in Ecco, he also outright calls Bruce "the one thing, the only thing [he] love(s)," at one point. Because the character is delusional, though, it's unclear if his love is more along the lines of extreme idealization, or if it's actually romantic.
• In the third season of Halt and Catch Fire, Donna seems to have a small crush on Diane, Mutiny's new financial backer. She is visibly disappointed when Diane doesn't want to take her to a networking function, and when Diane offers her the use of her house for a weekend, she sniffs Diane's clothes and even strips down and tries them on. And then there's the matter of her drug-fueled fantasy of having a heart-to-heart conversation with Cameron...
• Ste Hay in Hollyoaks who identifies as gay, but had a long relationship and two children with Amy Barnes before coming out (and insists that he was genuinely in love with her). He later sleeps with his friend Sinead, has another child and then (after his marriage to another man breaks down) dates Sinead for several months and claims to be in love with her too.
• Lix Storm from The Hour. She dresses quite ambiguously for the 1950s setting and flirts with women on occasion, but she's had several hook-ups with men as well.
• The title character of House is attracted to Cuddy and has had sex with female prostitutes, but also has a lot of Ho Yay with other males, including jokingly (?) hitting on Chase numerous times and plenty of maybe-romantic moments with Heterosexual Life-Partner Wilson. His actor Hugh Laurie has agreed with the statement that Wilson is "the other love of [House's] life."
• Most likely due to Alyson Hannigan's role as Willow (see above), Lily from How I Met Your Mother is often implied to have bisexual tendencies and has a lot of Les Yay with Robin.
• iCarly:
  • Sam seems to like guys, but almost none ever last more than one episode, including the one in "iMake Sam Girlier" that such a big deal was made over (an episode that seemed to lampshade Sam's Butch Lesbian behavior). She and Carly have a lot of Les Yay.
  • There is also speculation that Carly's brother Spencer might be bi, because of the episode where he dreamed he was wearing a dress and dancing with cute guys saying, "I think I like it." He also crossdresses regularly enough to know his dress size by heart and had a special relationship with a bathroom assistant that was tinged with Ho Yay. The 2021 revival seems to debunk this when he and Harper compete to see who can get the most dates at Nevel's wedding, with Spencer complaining that he is at a disadvantage because Harper goes both ways. While she actually goes "all ways", why would Spencer say this if he was bisexual?
• In From the Cold: Anya claims to Su Yin and Polina that she is attracted to both men and women. However, she truly falls in love with Faina and the Season 1 finale implies that her marriage itself to Lee, Becca's father, may have been a ploy, along with her and Chauncey sleeping together. It's left unclear if she's attracted to men or not.
• Interview with the Vampire (2022): Daniel Molloy has been married twice, has two daughters, and speaks fondly of his first wife. However, he met Louis de Pointe du Lac in a gay bar where he was a regular (the bartender addresses Daniel by his diminutive "Danny," which Daniel doesn't allow complete strangers like Louis to use). Yet present-day Daniel, when reminded about it by Louis, writes it off as "a good place to score [drugs]." Further complicated when their actual conversation (as seen in the dream/flashback) is revealed to have been Louis offering Daniel drugs in a very flirtatious manner. At the very least, Louis (an openly gay man with mind-reading skills) is confident enough that Daniel is interested in men (even if not exclusively) to hit on him in a gay bar and look puzzled by present-day Daniel's reaction. Moreover, when Daniel accepts the invitation to Louis' apartment to interview him there, he adds, "I mean, if something happens, you know, I'm cool." It's left ambiguous whether he's talking about sex, drugs, or both. According to invokedWord of Saint Paul from Eric Bogosian, Daniel is attracted to Louis.
• iZombie: Major, Liv's love interest. While he's mostly interested in women, he implies when under the effects of a Truth Serum that he's been checking out Chase Graves and has been a little bi-curious about the idea of being with him sexually or romantically.
• In Kamen Rider Fourze, Tomoko Nozama develops a fixation with Yuki and appears to have a crush on her, but later has a romance with Ryusei, implying she's attracted to both guys and girls.
• Both protagonists of Killing Eve:
  • Eve says she's straight, and for the most part, this seems to be true, but her subtext with Villanelle is so blatant that Bill (who is bi) asks her outright if she's sure she doesn't swing that way at all. By the end of the first season, Eve seems unsure herself. It could be her preference is "men and Villanelle."
  • On the other side of things, Villanelle is up for having sex with men and women alike, but has only ever been known to be infatuated with women. It's possible she's homoromantic and bisexual, or that she sleeps with men when it's more convenient (or when it helps her plans), but is personally into women.
  • Eve's friend Elena is this in a less blatant way. She has Ship Tease with Kenny, but is a Hero-Worshipper towards Carolyn to such a degree that Eve laughingly says, "You have such a crush." Elena doesn't deny it, just replying, "You don't?"
• Kiss Me First:
  • Leila. While she hooks up with and briefly attempts to hook up with Jonty and Kyle respectively, she's also all but explicitly attracted to Tess. They sleep almost naked in the same bed more than once, and during one of those instances, she's seen nervously telling Tess how beautiful she is.
  • Tess' boyfriend may be on-and-off, but her attraction to Leila seems pretty solid—she encourages Leila to strip before they share a bed, and gives a hoot of approval when she gets to see Leila's breasts.
• In Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, speculation is rampant as to whether ADA Rafael Barba is gay or bisexual. The one consensus seems to be that he is definitely not straight. The coordinated (and pastel!) suspenders, pocket squares, and ties certainly don't help. In "Forgiving Rollins", the perp says to him, "I don't know about you or your little 'Spanish dandy' here, but I'm straight as an axe." Barba doesn't even blink at the remark. The evidence seems to lean more towards this trope, however. "Funny Valentine" and "October Surprise" confirmed that he's had past attractions to women, and he certainly has plenty of Ship Tease with Olivia, but he also has noticeable moments of Ho Yay with Amaro, Carisi, and, strangely, a few suspects; the one from the infamous belt incident, the perp who attacked other gay men in "Criminal Hatred", and the crowner: "Comic Perversion". He called the perp good-looking, to which the perp replied that he "wasn't so bad himself, but he didn't swing that way" (to which Barba said nothing about himself); when Barba referenced what the perp did to his victims, the perp said, "I didn't realize we were having a menage a trois"; and when Barba mentioned the victim having bruising and tearing from violent anal sex, "I'm sure you've been there, bruised that, right?" Barba seems to point out that the male perps are "good-looking" quite a lot, actually. It helps that his actor, Raúl Esparza, is himself openly bisexual and already seems to share a lot of background with Barba. He's also indicated that he'd be fine with Barba being revealed as LGBT+.
• DS James Hathaway of Lewis. His only two love interests have been women, including one trans woman. However, he has some ambiguous background regarding reasons for leaving his training for the priesthood, he gave homophobic advice to his gay friend, which would ultimately lead to his suicide, and when asked by Lewis whether or not he is gay, he does not give a clear answer.
  Lewis: Are you gay?
  Hathaway: What's that mean?
  Lewis: You know what that means.
  Hathaway: What, that there's boys and girls and a nice neat straight line down the middle, and gay's if you like shoes and musicals and straight's if you read Loaded and eat Yorkie bars?
• Line of Duty: Kate was previously married to a man, though her onscreen relationships with men seem platonic. However, in series 3 it's easy to read Kate as being into Lindsay Denton, though nothing comes of this. In the final series, she also repeatedly flirts with Jo Davidson, presenting herself as attracted to her and even jokes that her short hair helps. This was a ploy to get close with Jo (an open lesbian), though again it's easy to question if Kate might not have been a bit interested in her for real too. Although creator Jed Mercutio says Kate's straight, many queer female fans of the show read her as at least bisexual.
• The L Word: In Season 6, a female contractor works on Bette and Tina's house who has a stereotypical Butch Lesbian style, while flirting playfully with her male employees. Both are confused about what her sexuality is (the "ambiguous" part being possibly all in their minds, as she could just be a butch straight woman).
• Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H has flirted with everybody except for Sherman Potter. Admittedly, he was just doing it to be a Jerkass half the time, but there are ways of doing that that don't make people speculate about whether you were sincere or not.
• Motherland: Fort Salem: Due to her delight at Raelle being a lesbian, and physical affection toward her along with Abigail that can come off as a bit more than friendly, Cally at times seems like she could be bi. Season 2 sees her become explicitly infatuated with Alder after becoming entangled with her through biddy-hood, although it's left unclear if that's due to an innate romantic or sexual desire rather than a result of their psychic link). Thus far the only sex and relationships which she's had have been with men.
• In Mustangs FC, Lara is disturbed when she starts developing romantic feelings for Ruby because, as she puts it, "she likes boys".
• My Dead Ex: Wren is definitely attracted to girls, pursuing Bethany over the series until the finale. She also makes comments about some men being handsome too, though it's not entirely clear if Wren finds guys sexually desirable or just recognizes their good looks.
• Mystery Science Theater 3000:
  • Depending on the episode, Servo and Crow can qualify. Both have shown attraction to women — the "Creepy Girl" for Tom (in "Catalina Caper"), and both Kim Cattrall and Estelle Winwood for Crow (in "City Limits" and "The Magic Sword", respectively). However, in "Racket Girls", they try to get married to each other. Crow also has an Awkwardly Gay Dream about Servo in the prologue skit of "Bride of the Monster", and Servo is very In Touch with His Feminine Side, with a propensity for skirts and dresses.
  • Mike Nelson also qualifies. "The Brute Man" confirms that he had a high school girlfriend named Carla, and segment 3 of "Terror From the Year 5000" involves his girlfriend Ginger. On the other hand: in "Laserblast", Crow pokes fun at him for thinking one of the male actors is cute, in "Werewolf", he implies that he dated a man named Steve who died (but is interrupted by the movie sign), and in "The Final Sacrifice", he says that he once kissed a surly old truck farmer (who was a durned fine kisser).
• NCIS:
  • Ziva, although it's also been suggested that she drops these hints just to torture Tony.
  • CGIS Agent Borin. In "Oil and Water", she and Tony are chasing a suspect, which she KOs with a left-handed swing of an oar. Her explanation is...interesting.^note The usual term used is "switch-hitter", whereas "swings both ways" is associated far more with sexual orientation than with baseball or softball.
    Borin: College softball.
    Tony: Southpaw?
    Borin: I swung both ways.
• The Office (US):
  • Michael Scott has been known to be a womanizer and has had relationships with Jan and Holly. And then there's his interactions with Ryan.
  Diane Kelly: Mr. Scott, who is this other woman "Ryan" who you refer to as "Just as hot as Jan, but in a different way?"
  • Michael’s Contrasting Replacement Character, Robert California, constantly makes aggressive sexual remarks and advances towards both his male and female employees. However, it’s never quite clear if he’s genuinely interested in any of them, or if it’s just another of his many strange tactics for asserting dominance over them.
• Morello of Orange Is the New Black. She dreams of settling down with a husband and became a Stalker with a Crush for Christopher but also didn't mind getting intimate with Nicky in prison. Whether she's bisexual or just resorting to Situational Sexuality remains to be seen. There's also Soso who mentioned offhand to Nicky when they were performing oral sex on each other that she may have tried intimacy with a girl before.
• The Outer Limits (1995): Miranda in "Lithia" might be bi, since she's Pelé's lover but later has sex with Mercer, assuming that it isn't just sitch sexuality for her (we might guess that many women have such relationships, as there are no men). Given she's never even seen a man before, it's hard to say what her (or indeed any woman's) sexuality is for sure.
• Parks and Recreation:
  • April marries Andy, and briefly mentions being aroused by a topless centaur painting of Leslie.
  • Leslie constantly comments on Ann's attractiveness and sometimes speaks to her in a flirtatious way.
  • One time, Ben and Tom go on Perd hapley's TV show, and we later see a clip of a nervous Ben saying "look, who hasn't had gay thoughts?" to which Jerry gives an understanding nod.
• An interesting case with Sameen Shaw in Person of Interest, because she has a personality disorder that precludes her experiencing a lot of typical emotions. Root, who is seemingly either lesbian or bi, flits conspicuously with her throughout several seasons, but Shaw mostly seems bored or annoyed by it, and is shown to have attraction (?) with at least one man during this period. When their relationship gets an upgrade in the final season it's unclear what Shaw's orientation is, or if she's only interested in Root.
• A third of the female cast of Pretty Little Liars, but most notably Alison Dilaurentis. Her affairs with older men serve as the motive for many suspects in the show's universe, and she was shown to be popular with boys her own age as well. She also had a private, unofficial relationship with the then-closeted Emily, though her attraction was implied to be disingenuous — even still, she assures Emily that she favors her above all others. Alison's extreme protectiveness over the three girls is evident, but her manipulation regarding Emily seems solely focused on keeping her from coming out and connecting with other queer women. She goes so far as to extort Paige, a later love interest for Emily, and delays their relationship by several years, though Alison likely intended to prevent it entirely. Additionally, she led Spencer in a romantic slow-dance with the casual handwave that it was only "practice" for dancing with boys, the same excuse she gave for kissing Emily, and it's heavily implied Alison would tease and flirt with all the girls under the guise of "practice." Confirmed, when she confessed her feelings for Emily to Paige
• Psych: There's little doubt that Shawn likes the ladies, but he's also really quite cool about flirting with/trying it on with the guys as well:
  Shawn: This is a great plan. Callum McAllister deserves to be commended.
  Gus: [sarcastic] Maybe you should date him, too.
  Shawn: [confident] Maybe I will.
• The Red Green Show: Mike Hammar can get quite flirtatious with the other male characters, is entirely comfortable with touching and being touched by other men up to and including pulling a snake out of Winston's hipwaders, and is implied to have had relationships with other men while incarcerated which he remembers fondly.
• Riverdale: In the pilot, when Veronica and Betty are doing cheer trials, team captain Cheryl thinks they're boring, so Veronica kisses Betty. Cheryl isn't impressed ("Faux lesbian kissing hasn't been taboo since 1994"), but that's beside the point. While Veronica is less "ambiguously bi" and more "all but stated outright to be bi", Betty notably didn't have any problem with the plan.
• Maura and Jane of Rizzoli & Isles. There's the Les Yay they have with each other, and Maura's put an awful lot of thought into what kind of women she'd be into if she were a lesbian, and she makes some comments that indicate that she wouldn't mind having sex with a woman. There's also the road trip to Connecticut in "Family Matters" where Jane creates a "mixtape" for the ride, which features the ladies crooning along to Ambrosia's "Biggest Part of Me." Later, Maura discusses a few revelations she's had to Jane, about "work, and (ex-boyfriends), and you..." and then states "If the next awesome person doesn't come along for a while, that's OK."
• Scream: The TV Series: Audrey Jensen is only seen dating women, but identifies as bi-curious, making her sexuality ambiguous to herself as well.
• Sean's Show: In a series one episode, the protagonist/author avatar Sean has fallen in love with a girl he met on holiday in Greece...but at the end of the episode he finds out that "she" is, in fact, a boy with a feminine name. This and some of his earlier musings lead him to conclude that he must be gay, and he bemoans that now he's going to have to be gay, come out and get a droopy mustache "so there's no one behind my back going 'is he or isn't he'". By the end of the episode, though he's changed his mind and decided to be celibate, and by the next episode he's back to pining for his ex-fiancée Susan.
• Sense8: Riley avoids clarifying just how "close" she and Georges were, to Will's bemusement.
• The Serpent Queen:
  • Catherine's servant Aabis has an affair with King Francis, but later is also shown sleeping with perfumer Angelica. The series doesn't really make it clear if she's bisexual or if she's a lesbian who had sex with Francis in order to assure her safety in France.
  • After drinking the liquid gold that Angelica has provided, Diane de Poitiers gives her a long, sensual kiss on the lips. Whether this is a strange power play or whether she's legitimately attracted to Angelica is uncertain.
• In Shake it Up, leads CeCe and Rocky have a ton of Les Yay. In one episode when Rocky is asked why she's going to a dance with a particular boy she says that the only two people tall enough to dance with her when she's in heels is that boy and the Captain of the girl's basketball team. Then she looks upset and says "and she didn't ask me".
• Spartacus: Vengeance:
  • Saxa sleeps with several of the male fighters. After she and Mira win a fight, she gives Mira a celebratory kiss on the lips. In Wrath of the Gods the first sex scene is her having a foursome with Gannicus, and she later gropes another woman's breast while making out with her.
  • Mira, while surprised by the above kiss, is not overly displeased. Her status as a (former) Beautiful Slave Girl means she may have previously slept with women, though she obviously wouldn't have had any choice in the matter.
• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Bashir and Garak have both been interested in women onscreen (especially Bashir), but they also have a relationship that led Alexander Siddig to ask if he was going to be part of Trek's first same-sex couple. (He wasn't.) Garak's actor, Andrew Robinson, has gone on record that he portrayed Garak as omnisexual and as definitely attracted to and flirting with Bashir from their first meeting.
• William Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation is only shown onscreen in relationships with females, human or otherwise, except in an episode where he falls in love with an alien from a species without sexual differentiation. While the alien self-identifies as female (and is persecuted for this by her species), the given description of her species' method of procreation suggests that she has some sort of insertive sex organ. This implies that Riker is either attracted to that or capable of disregarding it. Frakes went on record saying Riker is "try-sexual" as in "he'll try anything once."
• Strong Woman Do Bong-soon: While most likely just a way to poke fun at and get on Bong-Soon's nerves for his amusement, Min-hyuk's blantant flirting with Kook-Doo could be seen as such — especially considering the drunken escapades between them of episode six, complete with a dip into an Almost Kiss. It's mostly Played for Laughs.
• Succession: The sexualities of the characters in this series have not been plot-relevant thus far and are never confirmed or denied or ever really discussed in-universe (apart from Logan Roy’s deliberately homophobic bullying of his sons), and you can count on one hand the number of minor characters who have been clearly depicted as being non-heterosexual. However, despite it going mostly unaddressed, there are notable instances of select main characters in the series showing shades of ambiguous bisexuality.
  • Roman's ambiguous sexuality has had the most attention called to it out of any of the characters in the series. His father thinks something is wrong with him because he doesn't have sex with women and the woman he has shown the most attraction to is old enough to be his mother. His siblings make fun of him for not having sex at all with anyone. The most blatant example is in Season 2 when it's offhandedly shared that the male personal trainer Roman had in the previous season had once given him a handjob. Then, in what seems to be an ongoing trend, Roman has on several occasions acted downright flirty with powerful and horrible men he is trying secure business deals with.
  • Shiv casually arranges a threesome with her husband Tom and a handpicked female employee on their yacht in the Season 2 finale. When Tom is hesitant and asks if he can instead just watch Shiv and the woman have sex, Shiv enthusiastically agrees to this arrangement. In Season 3, it is hinted that Shiv has a history with Kendall’s lawyer, Lisa.
  • Kendall right in the pilot jokes (with a burrito bulging in his mouth) about giving his not-straight rival Lawrence Yee a blowjob with a reach around and cupping his balls, only to be terrified when he realises that his dad has been in the room the whole, has a flirty conversation with the waiter about being kidnapped and kept in a shed. Stewy and Kendall, friends since childhood, have a very tender, sexually charged, and nuanced relationship. Arian Moayed (Stewy) has acknowledged fan theories of Kendall and Stewy having been boyfriends in the past. Logan degrades him the most about being fucked by other men, and he checks out both men and women when looking for Sex for Solace. When Kendall reunites with Nate, a friend he spent a year with in Shanghai, they immediately share an intimate hug, followed by Nate eyeing him up and saying Kendall always knew how to get laid at a party. Kendall replies that he's looking forward to getting laid.
  • Tom Wambsgans, Shiv’s boyfriend, then husband, expresses no romantic interest in any woman for most of the series besides his wife, engaging in a sexual encounter with a woman at his bachelor party because he thought Shiv expected him to, trying and failing to be an active participant in the open marriage Shiv wanted, backing out of the threesome Shiv had arranged with another woman, and later having a brief, undefined fling with a business associate while he and Shiv are separated. It would seem he had a single-target sexuality for just his wife if it weren’t for Tom’s strong attachment and psychosexual behaviors towards Greg Hirsch, cousin of the Roy siblings. Tom starts bullying Greg as soon as he meets him, asking if Greg would kiss him if he told him to. He acts possessive towards Greg, showing jealousy when Greg wants to go work somewhere else or is spending more time with his cousin Kendall, and in Season 3, when Greg actually shows romantic interest in someone. He grows to genuinely care for Greg; in the two most selfless acts shown in the series, he protects Greg from the consequences of his own actions, taking the brunt of Logan’s wrath when he does not inform him of Greg’s mistake, and then in Season 3 when Greg asks Tom if he would absorb Greg’s part of the blame in a corporate scandal because Tom would likely be going to prison for it anyways and Tom simply agrees. In the most overt expression of Tom’s feelings thus far, in Season 3, Tom tells Greg about Nero and Sporus, how Nero murdered his wife and then married Sporus instead. Tom finishes this by telling Greg he would castrate and marry him in a heartbeat. And then when Tom makes the decision to betray Shiv in the Season 3 finale before Tom metaphorically murders his wife, he asks Greg, “Do you wanna come with me? Sporus?” Even as Tom spends the final season consumed with work pressures and an out of control rollercoaster of a marriage, he maintains a fixation on Greg, forcing a wary Greg to snort coke with him and insisting to his bosses that he will keep Greg as his assistant even after Greg betrays him professionally and they have a violent confrontation in the company bathroom.
  • Stewy Hosseini's life is clouded in mystery, with most of his motivations and memories revolving around the Roys, his lifelong friend Kendall at the top of the list. Other than some brief remarks about a girlfriend, any hint of his sexuality comes courtesy of the anguished, closeted banter of Kendall - one script has Kendall taunting him over being known for "giving toothy head" while at Harvard. To the surprise and delight of many Stewy fans, one last Kendall tongue twister made it into the series finale, when he shuts down Stewy's attempts at seeming complex by pointing out his "kissing guys on molly" as a sign of how basic Stewy is.
  • Series writer Georgia Prichett, in an interview when asked about LGBT characters in the series, stated that she believes the Roy siblings have an anything-goes sort of mindset in regards to sexuality and that none of them are closeted or are going to be restricted by sexuality if they decide they want to do something with someone. She also stated that she had advocated for Greg, cousin of the Roy siblings, to be written as gay, as up until mid-Season 3 he hadn’t been shown having any romantic interest in anyone.
• Supernatural:
  • Bobby and Gabriel show signs of swinging both ways. Gabriel's also very flirty, but it's not nearly as creepy as Crowley. And Bobby not only (according to Crowley) used tongue when sealing the deal for Death's location but also got this line when under a truth compulsion^note Dean was cursed by a goddess of truth so that everyone near him or speaking to him could only tell him true things, usually worded in such a way as to cause maximum emotional damage, with the end goal of driving him to suicide, which could be read as either an Unsettling Gender-Reveal or an Unsettling Species Reveal:
    Bobby: Did you know, my first girlfriend turned out to be a—
  • Pretty much every demon or angel can be seen as at least ambiguously bi, given their predilection for genderswapping their meatsuits/vessels. Take Meg when she possessed Sam and went after Jo, or Lucifer appearing in both male and female forms to essentially seduce his vessels. Although the entire concept of gender is pretty ambiguous — especially for angels — making the question of sexuality even more confusing. It's actually confirmed in later seasons that angels have no gender, though some of them do seem to prefer meat suits of a specific gender.
    • Castiel's primary vessel is male, but he's shown to have occupied a female vessel at least twice. In his male vessel, he shows sexual attraction to females more than once, but he also has strong feelings for Dean which are finally confirmed to be romantic in Season 15.
    • Crowley's primary vessel is male, and he was a male when he was human, but he's shown being flirtatious with both genders. He's implied to have some sort of past with the angel Naomi, has serious tension with Castiel, and goes on a weeks-long bender with Demon!Dean in which the two engage in group sex.
  • There's a reasonable argument for Dean Winchester having bisexual leanings despite his insistence otherwise. He gets giddy over Dr. Sexy and checks out a man's penis in a decidedly perverted way, and in the Season 4 episode "Sex and Violence," Nick Munroe turned out to be the siren, and took on a male form to gain Dean's trust. Writer Ben Edlund and producer Phil Sgriccia joked about Dean potentially settling down with Aaron (a gay character who hit on Dean in the episode "Everybody Hates Hitler") in the Season 8 DVD commentary, though actor Jensen Ackles has stated that Dean is a "manly heterosexual guy", but if anyone thinks that'll put an end to the debate, we have a nice bridge to sell you. Just check out the way he grieves for his "best friend" in the first five episodes of Season 13, a sequence that has been dubbed "the widower's arc" by some fans.
  • Sam Winchester, as overlooked as it is. He's never been shown to correct someone for thinking he's gay unless it's to tell them that Dean is his brother, not his boyfriend, and, two out of three times, his crossroads demons — demons who make deals with humans in exchange for their soul in Hell in ten years' time, sealed with a kiss — manifested as men, which Sam didn't seem surprised by. (Though Dean, who was present the second time this happened, was surprised and asked why the demon wasn't one of the hot women that he kept getting. Neither Sam nor the demon answered him.)
• Stiles Stilinski from Teen Wolf is very interested in whether or not he's attractive to gay guys, and asks both Scott and Danny whether they find him attractive, which becomes a Running Gag by the second season. After Sheriff Stilinski finds him at a gay bar, Stiles tells his dad that he "could be [gay]", and his dad's only argument is that Stiles can't be gay because his fashion sense is so awful. And that doesn't even begin to cover all of the Ho Yay moments Stiles has with Derek Hale. This seems to have slipped into explicit bisexuality with Season 3, in which Stiles, while planning to lose his virginity in order to be safe from what he believes to be a rash of virgin sacrifices, is completely willing to do so with Danny after the latter offers to help him out; the only problem is that Danny wasn't serious about the offer (and Stiles seems disappointed after realizing this). The Season 3B episode "Illuminated" has this exchange, when an explicitly bisexual character asks him about his preferences:
  Stiles: I thought you liked girls?
  Caitlin: I do like girls. Do you?
  Stiles: Absolutely.
  Caitlin: Great!
  Stiles: So you also like boys?
  Caitlin: Absolutely. Do you?
  Stiles: [stares into the distance and doesn't answer]
  • It was more recently stated by Dylan O'Brien that Stiles is not attracted to guys, and more or less admitted that the whole thing was Ship Tease, with deliberate Ship Sinking being written into the plot giving both Derek and Stiles female love interests in order to close the matter. Not that fans were happy about or accepted it.
• Tipping the Velvet (2002): It's left unclear if Kitty really had feelings for Walter, or he's just her beard, as she also tries to get back with Nan later.
• True Blood has Jason Stackhouse. For a ladies' man, he has a lot of interesting dreams about guys.
• Victorious:
  • Tori Vega. She had a few (one-episode) boyfriends or love interests and expressed attraction to a recurring male character, though notably had less romantic motivation than many leading ladies in her genre; despite this, she had significant amounts of Les Yay with Jade and Cat, and has commented on the good looks of both aforementioned girls as well as Carly in the crossover and a few minor or background female characters. She also performs several duets with a male character in which she addresses the subject as female, and even sings lead on the cast cover of "I Want You Back" without changing the female pronouns. However, her few solo love songs are either unspecific in their subject matter or use male pronouns.
  • Jade embodies this trope more than any other girl on the show. She's committed and (mostly) happy in her relationship with Beck for the majority of the series, but still has a ton of Les Yay moments and can seem rather suggestively flirty with her female peers, not to mention her ambiguously close relationship with Cat and the love-hate, almost-canon relationship with Tori, which seems heavy on the UST. She also has a nautical star tattoo and her preferred hideaway is the janitor's closet. And let's not even mention The Scissoring...
• Vikings: Floki is in a relationship with Helga, and is heavily implied to be in love with Ragnar.
• Warehouse 13 has Myka Bering. She regularly works with Helena G. Wells (who states that "Many of my lovers have been men") and has vast amounts of Les Yay with her, including the time H.G. snuck Myka and herself into a lab in a police station by implying that she was trying to "impress her". It's really only ambiguous because she technically never gets shown to explicitly sleep with a man.
• Warrior Nun: Main protagonist Ava Silva spends the first half of the first season dating a guy named JC, even having sex with him in their last episode together. However, there are hints throughout the back half of the season that she's developed a mutual crush on Sister Beatrice.
• We Are Who We Are:
  • Jenny is married to Richard, but then has an affair with Maggie.
  • Fraser shows some attraction to Jonathan, and later also an Italian boy he meets, plus Caitlin. As she's quite possibly transgender though, he may see her as another boy also when they kiss.
• The Wilds:
  • For the most part, Leah is portrayed as relatively straight, especially in season 1, with only the most marginal of subtext one might interpret as attraction towards girls. This mostly continues through season 2, however, towards the end of the season, she is hallucinating her first crush Ben Folds, who tells her he knows about all of her crushes. This includes a list of several men as well as "Amanda" and "Lana Del Rey," as well as some people with ambiguously gendered names.
  • After Toni tells her how she'll always love Shelby, Fatin says she feels that way about another woman. Though she doesn't say who, it's implied to be Leah given how they've grown closer. It isn't explicitly said to be romantic or sexual attraction, but context implies it's this.
• Mulder in The X-Files is pleasantly surprised to hear that Scully thinks Gary Shandling has a crush on him.
• Both Xena and Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess are infamous for this. Their "relationship" and the subtext behind it, despite all of the relationships with men they both had (and the former's continual Foe Romance Subtext with Ares), is still one of the best remembered things about the show, even by people who haven't seen it. Word of God flip flops around, but at one time it stated the characters were common-law married. Lampshaded in the Season 6 episode "You Are There", when a modern-day reporter (LongStory) asks Xena and Gabrielle about the "nature" of their "relationship". Just as the Warrior Princess and her long time side kick were about to answer, the reporters cameras cut out.
  Nigel: It's dead?! The battery?! This is the world's greatest story and you're telling me the battery is dead?! I don't believe this! Oh, man!
• The White Lotus: has sex with both men and women over the course of the season, but it is not clear if she does it out of genuine attraction or purely to get what she wants. Mia says that she is a "little bit gay", and she thinks "all women are". However, after sleeping with Valentina, she says that she needs a "proper girlfriend". This does not help clarify if she's really bi or not.
• Karen Walker on Will & Grace. Married to men several times, has had many male partners, but That Other Wiki has a whole section about her sexuality.
• The Witcher (2019):
  • Ciri is rather openly attracted to Triss, with her immediately perking up once they meet and her trying to look pretty the next day. It's not yet explicitly shown as romantic or sexual attraction, though in the books and games she's shown as attracted to men or women, even sleeping with a woman.
  • Jaskier just can't keep his pants on in the presence of ladies; yet in the same time, he calls Geralt's ass "lovely". He also spends his next 22 years of life being very attached to his witcher. His song "Her Sweet Kiss" also seems to be directed at Geralt, wherein he warns him away from Yennefer and calls him "my love". Even if it's not for Geralt, he's still referring to another man as "my love" and saying that he is "wanting" the unnamed man. He comes off as pretty jealous of Yennefer whenever she's around Geralt. And of course, he didn't know Geralt was a witcher when he approached him in the bar, so it comes off as him trying to pick Geralt up. Season 2 adds to this, as his new song, "Burn, Butcher, Burn", is a thinly-veiled bitter Break Up Song he outright admits is inspired by the heartbreak he felt when Geralt sent him away. He and Yennefer even bond somewhat over the fact they both miss Geralt. He also shows a great deal of sympathy for elves, part of which he cites as being because he expects people like him (albeit clarifying "artists" after a beat, almost as if it's a euphemism) might be next; a common argument white LGBTQ+ individuals cite for defending people marginalised because of their ethnicity.
• There's quite a lot of same gender subtext between characters in Zoey 101. Michael, for example, once called a boy attractive.
  Logan: Why do you waste your time with the drama club? Why don't you go up for the football team or something?
  Chase: Because the drama club is loaded with hot girls, and I've seen the football team. They're not hot.
  Michael: I don't know, man, Dave the quarterback's a pretty handsome dude.
  (Chase and Logan look at Michael oddly.)
  Michael: I've said too much.
• You (2018): Peach has noisy sex with a guy, though the real object of her affections is Beck. It's left unclear if Peach likes men too, is lesbian though still pretending otherwise, or just likes Beck specifically.
