You've got to feel for Alec Baldwin. He's had a rough couple of years, what with his Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf style separation and divorce from Kim Basinger, the humiliating public disclosure of an angry phone call to his daughter, and now the insane ramblings of his younger, lesser brother Stephen.

Looks like ABC's new drama, Dirty Sexy Money could actually break new ground with a GLBT storyline.

Dirty Sexy Money follows an elite New York family known as the Darlings. This privileged clan is rife with scandal and intrigue and sounds like a modern day Dynasty to me. Yay! But where Dynasty had its groundbreaking gay son, Dirty Sexy Money has a son in a serious relationship with a transgender woman.

Televisionista shares some pics from the third episode (airing October 10th). In the scene pictured, oldest son Tripp (played by William Baldwin) tries to break off the relationship with his lover in order to protect his political career. The lover is played by transgender actress, Candis Cayne.

With Brothers & Sisters alums Craig Wright and Greg Berlanti involved on this series (as show creator and exec producer respectively), this is definitely one new show worth checking out.

More pics after the break.
