Yesterday Greg Hernandez posted a very interesting interview with Brothers & Sisters' creator Jon Robin Baitz. Baitz has puh-lenty to say about the show, but by far the most interesting quote was that Kevin is "...not the only gay person in the family. There are other things to look forward to in addition to Rob Lowe's brother. I think by the season finale, you'll understand that, where it's going."

Then AfterElton reader Kong Chang tipped me off to just who joins "our team" and I have to say, I was surprised. Baitz's earlier comments had got me wondering, but the answer (revealed in the season finale on May 20th) was not the one I expected.

It's Uncle Saul! Bet you didn't see that one coming!

So what else did Baitz have to say? Greg has it has all on his blog, but here are a couple of tidbits including that we haven't seen the last of Scotty (Luke Macfarlane) and that Jonathan Lapaglia, originally cast to play Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys), was petrified of kissing another guy. Oy! Baitz said LaPaglia asked him, "'Am I going to have to kiss boys?'" and then added, "He seemed riddled with terror that someone was going to jump out and kiss him. And he's a really nice guy!"

Oh, good grief. Not another straight boy who goes all knock-kneed over kissing a guy! Thank goodness the role went to Rhys. (And I hear Kevin and Eric do get a little action in before the season ends!)

BTW, if you discuss this in the comments, please don't give away the surprise that Saul is gay in the subject line. Comments that do give it away in the title will be deleted! Thanks!
