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.

With a new year come new insights, new horizons and new adventures. And in that light I decided to watch 2009's first episode of Brothers & Sisters, a show that I actually chewed my own foot off to escape covering last year, because the prospect of bleeding to death or choking on my own hot blood was far preferable to suffering week after week of the self-obsessed Walker militia.

Find out why I'm giving last night's episode an up-arrow, after the jump...

Not being terribly well-versed on Brothers & Sisters myself these days, I'm having a hard time figuring out what the hizzie is going on in this brand new batch of advance stills from the January 4th episode (wait, is that the Smoke Monster?). But hopefully the mention of "dream" in the ep's title indicates that this is all just some awful nightmare:

"A Father Dreams" - Elizabeth's illness and her uncle's sacrifice cause a volatile and emotional confrontation between Kevin and Tommy that could make or break their relationship as brothers. Meanwhile, Saul reintroduces a high school crush (guest starring Nigel Havers as Roger Grant) to Nora, and Justin finally decides to leave the nest.

More steamy pics after the break ... if you're into that kind of thing.

Every Friday we pick the gays in television who have had the best week and leave it to you, the keepers of the flame, to decide who will be crowned Gay of the Week and enjoy their own fancy button over on the left. We'll announce the winner on Monday, and that champ will reign until a new set of challengers are introduced the following Friday to try to steal his title.

Reigning Gay of the Week Scotty Wandell (Brothers & Sisters) showed that he knows his way around a toolbox this week ... will it be enough to fortify his position against three new challengers?

Brothers & Sisters' Scotty Wandell (Luke Macfarlane) has managed to thwack the velvet crown off the head of reigning two-time Gay of the Week Noah Mayer (As the World Turns).

In the closest heat yet in the battle for the most fabulous crown in television, Scotty barely sneaked past Mayer but left competitors Marc St. James (Ugly Betty) and Lance Bass (Dancing With the Stars) in the dust. To find out just how much dust, meet me after the jump!

Reigning Gay of the Week Noah Mayer (As the World Turns) didn't have much to do this week other than clean up his boyfriend's mess and serve coffee to college kids ... will it be enough to fortify his position against three new challengers?

Last night's episode of Brothers & Sisters was probably the gayest of the season thus far and not only gave us plenty of Kevin and Scotty, but two Kevin and Scotty kisses. And that's only part of the reason I'm giving this week's episode an IMHO arrow up!

Last night's episode of Brothers & Sisters was the "Proposition 8" episode that was supposed to air the week before the election rather than the week after. Although, given how little it really had to say about Prop 8, I doubt the delay made much difference. And that's just part of the reason I'm giving the episode a side arrow.
