TGIF! "Brothers & Sisters" encores to air Fridays

Hooray! ABC has not only begun making episodes available for free viewing via online screening just made them available for free via online streaming at ABC.com, start ing Jan. 12, the network will air encore showings Friday nights at 9:00pm. New epiisodes of the show will continue to follow "Desperate Housewives" on Sunday nights.There will FINALLY be a new episode of "Brothers & Sisters" this Sunday...at last! I can't wait to see Kevin (Matthew Rhys, pictured) hook up with his next love interest and to find out how Rob Lowe is going to fit into this show.
According to AfterElton.com, in the next several episodes Kevin will have a brief fling with a closeted soap star (played by Jason Lewis, the “Absolut Hunk� from Sex and the City) and then embark on a much more serious relationship with a recurring character to be played by a high-profile actor. The show has been keeping the name of the actor playing Kevin’s second love interest closely under wraps, so presumably it is big news. My money is on Rob Lowe, but some fansites have mentioned Dan Futterman as a possibility. I like Futterman a lot but since he's already played gay in "Urbania" and several episodes of "Will & Grace," I'd like to see Lowe be gay on-screen and get involved in a few lip-locks with Rhys!
