Stephen Collins, the handsome 7th Heaven fox, is heading to ABC’s Brothers & Sisters not to woo Nora Walker, but her brother Saul (played by Ron Rifkin, pictured), who last season we learned is HIV-positive. Between that and Kevin and Scotty going the foster (and not biological) route, we’re all but guaranteed enough drama to forget that awful Balthazar Getty.

As an inveterate lover of all things male, mature, and silver foxy I’m down with that man in the picture. However, WTF is this article even talking about? The grammar is so bad, I mean really, Queerty? WTF???

Uncle Saul’s gonna be gettin’ himself some! Stephen Collins & Ron Rifkin will make a handsome pair, & bravo the show for showing a gay couple over 30 and addressing HIV.
Poor Sally Field’s character Nora; she’s still not gettin’ much? She was such a bad actor when she was younger, but she’s found a good role here.
This is still a very good show.

@AdMan: What do you expect? Spelling? Facts? Grammar? Those are not Queerty’s concerns any more. They can barely pay the light bill at this point.
@Plays Well: LOL. I’m performing this weekend, twice, and I stole & adapted a couple of your lines. So I officially owe you 19 cents!

@Jeffree I usually don’t go below 20 cents, but I will make an exception just this once! :p

I would have preferred it if Rob Lowe’s character had come back to be Uncle Saul’s lover, but Stephen Collins will be just fine!
@Plays Well: Okay, you just got a raise! 22 cents it is.

“Saul (played by Ron Rifkin, pictured), who last season we learned is HIV-positive.”
The character or the person who plays the character is HIV? I haven’t watched Brother’s and Sisters since 2007.

I enjoy Brothers & Sisters, despite its hard-to-believe story lines…I mean, COME ON! Rob Lowe and Clarista Flockhart as Rebulicans who likes gays AND adopts a black baby??? Only in Hollywood.
