Chad Allen

Here's some great news: Our friend Damon over at GLAAD just tipped us off that out actor Chad Allen has signed on to play a multi-episode arc on General Hospital: Night Shift as Eric Whitlow, a patient in need of a transplant. Allen will appear for three episodes as a love interest for gay doctor Kyle Julian (Adam Grimes), who helps the patient's family during their ordeal. We would of course love to see him signed on for more than three eps as a potential love interest, but hey, we'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Head writer Sri Rao had this to say about the casting: 

“We're delighted to have Chad join our show because, not only is he a remarkable actor, he's also an amazing activist. For years I have been inspired by Chad and welcome the honesty and authenticity that he will bring to our show."

We actually have a recaplet of last night's episode, in which Dr. Julian assisted a lesbian patient with family issues, in the works already, and it looks like GH:NS will be giving us more gay-inclusive storylines to keep track of. We'll let you know more when we can!
