(snip)...Avon loves Anna is canon, Blake loves Avon or vice versa is not...not in any sense, sexual or otherwise.

Well, no, IMO that doesn't work, either. Take just one of your examples - Avon loves Anna. It's not canonical in the sense that we are ever told it explicitly. We _infer_ it from Avon's behaviour - at least some of us do. Some may not.
Actually it is mentioned in RoD.
Shrinker asks in respect to Avon, something along the lines of "what did I do to him?"
Dayna replies "You killed someone he loved"
and Vila concurs with "And there aren't many of those about, Avon isn't very lovable in case you hadn't noticed"
There are other points of reference such as when Anna says "I let you go...my love"
and Avon replies "Oh no, you never let me go...you never did"
If you hang out here long enough (and I'm glad
you're
still here, BTW),
Thank-you :-)
you'll see that people definitely do not agree on what is canon, apart from on-screen occurences - and even then motives, subtexts, etc., will be in dispute.
I'm beginning to see that already :-)
===== Cheryl. (My favourite 'Blake's 7' moment) What a fiasco! We could take over the ship you said, if I did my bit. Well, I did my bit, and what happened? Your 'troops' bumble around looking for someone to surrender to, and when they've succeeded, You, follow suit! (Avon to Blake. "Spacefall")
