It was definitely my slash goggles pinging there. It's just that USA doesn't have a good track record for gay visibility. Not a terrible one, just not a prominent one. There is still a possibility. It's not like the show is on CBS. And then there's the factor of whether or not RDA would be willing to play a gay character.

I have a feeling that if the character was gay, that decision would have been made before RDA was cast as it would be such an important part of the story line if the character were involved with her father.

I don't know much about gay representation on American tv, sorry. Here they try to slip in the old teen experimenting with their sexuality every few years on the Aussie soaps, but it never lasts very long I'm afraid and our industry is largely cop shows that are more plot than character driven.

I've long suspected RDA is gay, and I feel really bad for him if that's the case, not b/c of the gay but because of the closetedness. I just hope that if he IS gay and closeted, behind closed doors he's happy at least.

If he came out now it wouldn't be such a big deal for his career, but I'm not sure the world could take the inevitable jokes about how he makes lube out of a shoelace, a chocolate chip cookie, and a bottlecap.
