When RDA's name popped up on the guest starring scroll on Fairly Legal I tweeted excitement, because I had no idea. It wasn't until the very last scene when he showed up, but still a good one. I also have suspicions as to what "type" of character he may be but I also have doubts that a USA Network show would take it there. Will have to see.

There was talk that Kate's brother is supposed to be gay, but all the show has given us is that he has had a failed marriage and is taking care of their baby daughter. If it turns out he is actually gay, then I applaud the show for depicting him as a regular person and not being blatant about it.

Nathan Fillion had mentioned that he would love to return to Firefly and that if he won the lottery he would buy the rights and make the show himself. So a campaign was borne to raise the money. Somehow I don't see Joss giving up the rights so easily.

I've been watching FL since Ep One, just waiting for teh RDA yumminess to appear! I hadn't heard any rumors about Kate's brother. Wait - maybe I heard rumors about her assistant, Leo?

Maybe Nathan and Joss could be partners. And make the new series a prequel to the movie, please. *pets Wash and Book*

I like the show. It's been more fulfilling than I thought it would be given the premise.

The rumors I heard were definitely about her brother. Although, I admit that I really like Leo. He is one of those secondary characters that has too much awesome. Plus, not only is he a gamer, but he plays World of Warcraft. :-)

It's awesome that he's such a geek! And pretty adorable, too.

When I read the spoilers, my first thought was 'secret gay lover', although my slash goggles may have slipped down from my forehead. :P I kinda hope that is the case as long as the writers are mature enough not to fall into the cliché traps. But I haven't seen the show and I don't know much about the network so I will take your opinion for it. ;)

I thought he was great, the master of understated. I hope he does get more screen time in his other 2 episodes.

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 think he'd be slightly more likely to play a gay character if he didn't have to actually depict the relationship, what with the partner being dead and all. He might be more comfortable with it at this point in his career, too.

Years ago I confessed about writing slash to a gay friend, and sent him a pic of Jack and Daniel. He responded: That looks like MacGyver! I told him that it was, and he said: I've always thought that RDA's gay.

This confirmation gives me a lot of sekrit happiness, lol.

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.

Oh, dear, yes the jokes would be awful.

I hope he's happy, too. We all know how happy his daughter makes him! She may be the one thing he really wanted out of life.

'secret gay lover'

That was my first thought/wish, too. Can't quite imagine why our minds would go there. ;-)
