I am aware of this and did not hint at which were gay, nor did I have any intention do so. It certainly protects DS boards--and the individual posters who may allege such things--from litigation over libel. However, I am repulsed by the DS fan community at large for being unable to accept the sexualities of certain stars, already known to most fans who have been around a while

In most cases, discussion about which individuals in the cast are gay is getting into personal and private information, and that's not the purpose of these forums.


No offense intended.  I was only commenting on a thought already out there, but certainly no harm or anything else was meant...

scout75, I know you meant no offense and appreciated your bringing the discussion back to the characters.  And I appreciated your edit too.  :)

Spiderman, I only made a comment in the event that the topic you brought up became headed in that direction.  I also am aware of your feelings toward the board's policy regarding discussions about sexuality, and as I've explained before, it's a privacy issue and not one about lack of acceptance, and it isn't limited to a star's sexual identity but includes all personal issues that the star prefers to keep private.

Billy Zane as Jonathan Frid(Barney), Frances Fisher as Julia/Grayson,  a well fed Calista Flockhart as Lara Parker/Angelique, the kid who plays Brady on Days as Chris Pennock/Jeb are a few that come to mind.

Since I started this topic, I think I should weigh in with my thoughts...

Frances Fisher as Grayson is an interesting idea, although I really can't imagine anyone being able to capture Grayson's persona.    

The big question is who would Gothick pick to play Grayson.

For Lara Parker, I would cast Michelle Pfeiffer.  I think she'd make an excellent Angelique, too.

For Jonathan Frid, I pick Sam Waterston.  JF has an "old world gentleman" quality about him, and I think SW would be able to capture that.  

Regards,

John
