Dirt and Brothers and Sisters: Secretly Gay Celebrity storylines

[Jerry Lewis]

It is common to happen that TV shows will have similar story lines or premises but I just noticed one. In last Sunday the 14th's episode of Brothers and Sisters, Sex and the City's Jason Lewis started his guest star role as Chad Berry a soap star who has a crush on the 'Gay Brother' Matthew Rhys and they evidently start a secret relationship. Now on tonight's Dirt (Courtney Cox's new FX series), Lucy's brother Leo played by Will McMormack (The Sopranos' Jason La Penna) was given a hummer by a popular married star Jack Dawson (Melrose Place's Grant Show). Both Lewis and Grant are playing closeted super stars.

Great storylines, because you just get a rise when a hot straight guy, especially a celebrity turns out to be gay.
