Watch your back, Scotty! Jason Lewis returning to "Brothers & Sisters"
Alpha gay gossip Michael Ausiello has gleaned from his network of spies and informants (Yvette?!) that actor Jason Lewis, who played Kevin's closeted actor love interest Chad in season one, will be back on Brothers & Sisters for an episode in April where he and Kevin run into one another at a bar and "one thing leads to another". He's quick to speculate that "one thing" is probably just flirting and "another" is just more flirting, and that Lewis is only booked for one episode ... but it smells like the sure-to-be short-lived marital bliss of Kevin and Scotty has a definitive expiration date. How will the couple deal with the ex-factor? Will this "hanging Chad" be the end of an otherwise successful campaign for the lovebirds? To refresh your memory as to how things went down with Chad, check out our recap of his last ep. Submitted by on Thu, 2009-01-08 09:55. |

B & S - come back character (SPOILERS!)
I knew already (it was posted here somewhere yesterday, right), but shouldn't you have put up SPOILER warnings Brian?
Just sayin'.. :o)
I am one of the few who really liked the Chad-character. So this is good! I don't want Kevin and Scotty seperate though, but it could spice things up!
-----------------------------------------------------
Casting
Oooo...this is great. I
Eric Winter left the show
That's the main reason they broke Kevin and Jason up. I was very happy with the decision since Eric Winter, like Jason Lewis, at times looked uncomfortable with any display of affection towards another man, and neither of them had much acting ability to speak of.
Chad was a manipulative bore and I'm sorry they're bringing him back.
I adore Scotty and I think he and Kevin make a great couple
but I will say that what I loved most about Chad's time with Kevin is that it was very very physical and sexual (maybe that's the nature of affairs?) and they spent a lot of time in the bed.
The two times I recall seeing Scotty and Kevin in the bedroom, Scotty has been fully dressed (because he was leaving or coming home) and Kevin was in his underwear (because he was sleeping or coming from the bathroom in the early am)
I couldn't FEEL the attraction between Jason and Kevin and I don't think we ever saw them being intimate or sexual with each other. Even the kiss in the pantry felt stiff and awkward and not hot at all. More like a non-sexy wrestling match. Their coupledom was also very chaste (and I don't think that's cuz he was a pastor)
Chad was always touching or kissing Kevin and they spent a lot of time talking in the bedroom. Pillowtalk is just really intimate and sweet and sexy I think and I don't recall ever actually seeing Kevin and Scotty in bed or waking up together or even half naked around each other.
I just thought Jason Lewis (Chad) had a really great physicality with Matthew Rhys. I'm remembering when Chad walked up behind Kevin to "check" on him while he was talking to Scotty. It was good stuff.
Looking forward to see what unfolds.

Physicality
The only time I remember seeing them in bed together was when Kevin was sick with the flu and Chad sat on the edge of the bed.
They did have a very hot kiss in one of Chad's later episodes.
Chad and Kevin Bedroom Scenes
There were four scenes that I recall
1) Afternnoon trist before the Valentine's Day party
2) Morning after Nora's birthday (when Kevin realized he had the flu)
3) Morning Chad decides fire his manager
4) Kevin tells Chad he's TIVO'd and watched his soap opera
Just to be clear, I would just like to see more scenes like these with Kevin and Scotty. I don't think Chad should come back and break them up for even a second. I don't know if it was the directior's choices for the scenes with Kevin and Chad ( or maybe Jason Lewis just being more comfortable being half dressed) but I really liked the intimacy of those scenes even if the circumstances of their relationship was shady.
As for physicality. I always felt that Jason Lewis's body language with Kevin was that of a lover. He touched him like they were sleeping together. I don't always get that from the scenes with Scotty.
When Kevin and Scotty kiss it think it's really good and passionate but it doesn't happen very often and when they cuddle it's not like "at any moment we could be getting it on cuddling" (like Justin and Rebecca). It's more like we're happy and content cuddling.
Again, I think it is more about direction and director's choices then the acting of Luke Mcfarlane or Matthew Rhys.

I love Scotty, but
I am very happy Chad is back. I was totally in love with those two being together. I still watch clips of them on youtube all the time. :)
am i the only one
who is against scotty and kevin ending their wedding bliss. yea chad and kevin had a good thing going but scotty and kevin just look so right. their the best couple ever.
this can not happen.
Do we need to post a SAve Our Scotty petition?
Why Chad?
Why bring back Chad? He was the worst love interest for Kevin, they had NO CHEMISTRY! They could at least bring back Jason if they wanted to keep it interesting!!! They had chemistry, and it was believable. I was never a huge fan of the closeted soap star storyline, and I'm sure I'm not the only one either..
What are they bringing him back for anyways? Just to split up Scotty and Kevin? I don't like this at all :(

Chemistry
Chemistry, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, I'm afraid.
I didn't feel that Jason and Kevin had chemistry, no more then all this whining about 'the chemistry' between Justin and Rebecca. Just not there for me.
To me, Kevin/Chad had a certain sexual tension, but I never felt Chad was 'the one' for Kevin emotionally and Kevin/Scotty just set my screen on fire from the 1st moment I saw them at Kevin's office together.
Re: Chad
I'm really not concerned. It's only for one episode, and even Ausiello says it's likely just "harmless flirting."
There are few things I trust in B&S. Kevin and Scotty surviving as a couple is one of them. They're not going to break them up, trust me.
Stopped having faith in them a long time ago

Well, I know they have said numerous of times they won't split up Kevin and Scotty. The thing is though that I don't trust the writers of B&S. I stopped having faith in them when they de-Walkered Rebecca and ruined the show. I still think we lack affection between K and S. There was not a whole lot of kisses in the last episode, it almost seems we get less and less affection each episode.. And WHERE is the bed scene? They still haven't had a honeymoon either..

Re: Kevin/Scotty
There was a lot of affection between the two in 3.08 (3 kisses, as I recall), that really sweet snuggling session in the hospital in 3.10, and some affecionate scenes in the last episode (Kevin kissing Scotty's head before they talked about having children).
Would I like to see more? Surely. But saying "We get less and less affection each episode" is not true.
I understand your skepticism re: the writers after the deWalkering debacle. But they KNOW the fanbase around Kevin/Scotty, and the higher-ups know that B&S's treatment of gay characters is one of the few storylines it has received consistent acclaim for. I don't see them just shooting it all to shit for no reason, least of all a one-episode appearance by Lewis.
Re: Kevin/Scotty
Nothing to see here.
exes
I could care less if Chad showed up. I think Kevin and Scotty are stronger than that. However, if Jason showed up. I would be raising some eyebrows.
I want one of Scotty's ex-boyfriends to come visit. Maybe need a job at the restaurant or a place to stay. Just to rile Kevin up a bit. That could be fun.
I couldn't agree more. We
