STORY: A comedy that follows three Chicago EMTs who despite their narcissistic and self-destructive personalities are uniquely qualified to save lives.
GAY COUPLE STORYLINE: Henry 'Hank' St. Clare (Kevin Daniels) is a paramedic, staffing ambulance 14 along with Johnny "Mousse" Farell (Michael Mosley) and newbie Brian "Kevin" Czyk (Kevin Bigley). Hank is sometimes nicknamed "Deuce" by fellow EMT Cash, since Hank is the second black man to work in the unit, after Cash himself. Hank is a gay man, which he himself confirms in the first episode and mentions multiple times afterwards as well. He openly and light-heartedly talks about his love life with his colleagues. Hank has a short relationship with Jeff the Chef (Jordan Jeffrey Brown).

SPECIAL: Sirens also features one of the most interesting gay characters on television: There’s nothing generically gay about Hank, played by Kevin Daniels. As he tells a woman looking for a “gay best friend” early in the new season, “I’m not that type of gay. … I do not go dancing. I do not go shopping. I do not watch Dance Moms and make bitchy comments.” He is, however, openly, unreservedly, and boldly gay—and his orientation affects the way he moves through life. When Hank and Johnny, who is straight, get a chance to work out in Chicago’s fanciest gym, the two men experience the place, and its clientele, in very different ways.
