It feels reductive to loop Danny's otherworldly 22-year-old beauty into his importance as a representational TV presence, but I'd submit to you that giving young gay boys a crush object in possession of the most beautiful smile you've ever seen in your teenage life who's gay just like you was a radical act in and of itself. There was also the fact that, for a certain age demographic, Danny was the first out gay character on TV that they had a crush on. military's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy that said guy had to have his face blurred out when he appeared on screen. Danny, of course, was not the first out gay cast member of The Real World, but he was one of the most compelling people the show had ever seen, owing in part to the fact that he was newly out of the closet, experiencing gay life in a libertine city like New Orleans, and navigating a relationship with a guy so bound by the bigoted strictures of the U.S.

The Real World Homecoming: New Orleans has given us a chance to reflect on how important Danny Roberts was to many young queer people who watched the original series. Which is why I'm going to take this opportunity to recall when The Real World's Danny Roberts guest starred on Dawson's Creek. A snapshot of the year 2000 in all its simplicity. Homecoming is as much a reckoning as it is a reunion, and while that comes with mixed emotions, it also gives us a chance to remember the culture of our youth as it once was. There's the generalized mourning for the young people we were then, the baseline joy that comes with seeing old friends (and/or frenemies) again, the anxiety that comes with seeing visual evidence of how we're all 20 years older now, and the rubbernecking curiosity as producers look to dredge up old drama among the show's cast members. Watching the New Orleans cast reunite over 20 years later has churned a unique blend of feelings for many of us who watched the show as preteens, teenagers, or (ahem) early twentysomethings. If you've been watching The Real World Homecoming: New Orleans on Paramount+ and feeling a sharp ache for the landmark TV of your youth, you're not alone.
