Ethan Gold
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ethan Gold was a secondary character who appeared on the US television series, Queer as Folk for the second and third seasons.
Ethan is an extremely talented violinist, and attends the same art school as Justin Taylor. Justin notices his unique ability while Ethan is playing on the street, and the two shortly start up a relationship. Justin begins to like Ethan more than Brian, as Ethan is more romantic (in the traditional sense anyway) than Brian Kinney. At the end of the second season, despite throwing an expensive party for the release of his comic book, Justin dumps Brian and leaves with Ethan.
In the third season, Ethan and Justin are now living together, and the majority of the characters believe Ethan is a better boyfriend for Justin, as he is closer to Justin's age. Soon into the third season, Ethan is offered a chance to work for a recording company. He initially refuses, as part of the deal is that Ethan cannot reveal he is homosexual, but he later accepts it after Brian tells him theres no honor in being poor. Ethan then has a concert out of town, which Ethan doesn't want Justin to attend, but Justin goes anyway, and spots a fan flirting with Ethan. Soon after, when Justin and Ethan are celebrating, the same fan shows up at their apartment with a bouquet of flowers, and it is revealed that Ethan had cheated on Justin. Justin then moves out, and afterwards, Ethan is never seen or heard from again.
