For those Brothers & Sisters fans who have been hoping for a speedy return of Kevin's (Matthew Rhys) love interest from far off Malaysia, there is good news! After airing just one episode, CBS yanked the plug on Viva Laughlin! faster than you see Hugh Jackman. That means Eric Winter is now free to return to his role on ABC as Jason McCallister. The question, of course, is what Jon Robin Baitz and Greg Berlanti cooked up to keep Kevin busy over the next four episodes. Was he going to fall for Scotty again? Is someone else waiting in the wings? Or was he just going to be busy helping out Scotty, dealing with Uncle Saul's issues, not to mention the rest of the Walkers?

I'll let you know ASAP as I hear anything.

In other Brothers & Sisters news, Sunday night's episode beat Shark by one million viewers, and did even better among the 18-34 demographic. And the gay boy's debut on Desperate Housewives didn't hurt that show at all as it made it four weeks in a row as the number one show on Sunday nights.

And CBS is replacing Laughlin with the new cycle of the frequently gay-friendly The Amazing Race. No word yet on gay contestants, but we're looking into it.

Okay, Brothers & Sisters fans (and sadists who like watching really bad blind dates), I just found this YouTube clip from Sunday night's episode wherein Kevin (Matthew Rhys) meets cute disastrously with Jason McCallister (Eric Winter), Senator McCallister's (Rob Lowe) younger, hotter, gay brother. They've been set up by Kitty (Calista Flockhart) who failed to tell the rabidly anti-Republican Kevin just who Jason's big brother happens to be. Bad, Kitty! No catnip for you!

There's no way to predict how this storyline will play out until we learn whether Eric's pilot Viva Laughlin gets picked up. (But I'll trade a half-dozen Flying Monkeys for one kiss between these two. Yes, I'm that shallow!) Until then, watch Kevin annihilate yet one more potential love interest. Oy.

The clip is below the fold!
