This season he seemed to be TK’s boyfriend and that was it. I would like to see him do more.
They did try to expand his storyline by showing his relationship with his parents, but yeah I really hope he gets more screen time and a better storyline next season. Part of the problem is that there are so many characters on the show and since he's the only cop, there's only so much they can do with him.

I think his role would have been bigger if Liv had returned for season two. He had a lot of scenes with her.

I agree with most of you about Rafael’s role. My guess is that policemen are seen kinda problematic nowadays so they’ve mostly shut down that role for him and focused on him as a boyfriend.

also, regarding the People Magazine interview, my guess is that there weren’t that many out bisexuals and that’s why the focus is on Ronen, cause they profiled many gays/lesbians/trans but not that many Bi people.

He's a very pretty white bisexual who's trending, so it's no surprise he got the focus. I wish they'd asked Rafael a little about his own experiences rather than just the romantic pairing on the show, since he is a gay man of color and has been advocating for the community strongly since last year. Of course I also wish that the other member of Ronen's found family weren't dressing him in ill-fitting pastel suits like a refugee from Miami Vice...

I haven’t noticed until today it was really weird in the pool like he was trying to hint their fucking around but It was like raf was tired of him filming him the whole thing was weird and a bit thirsty for attention to me lol
I think Rafael may be more guarded about any signs of impropriety when teasing the fans, whereas Ronen is caught up in all the attention the pairing on the show gets. If he is married, the hubby may not be fond of having that line blurred.

I was hoping Capt. Strand would take the promotion and that would the show be bigger than the firehouse, which would make it easier for more scenes with Rafael

Hi, i have a question. What do you mean by a man of color? Do you see him as a black man? It is not to start an argument it's just a doubt.

Man of color or person of color refers to anyone who isn't white, basically. Black, Asian, Latinx, etc

Has Rafael ever referred to himself as gay on camera ?

yes many times like when they presented an award last month at GLAAD, Ronen's People magazine video that just came out, other 911 interviews, etc

It feels like the only time I heard him refer to himself as queer was during a livestream, but I haven’t heard him say I’m gay.

Maybe because he doesn't have a need to saying that he's gay every five minutes.
