ATWT actor reveals reasons why he waited to come out

[cnathanielrichardson]

And this is news? We knew already Van..

And in other news, the sky becomes dark after the sun goes down...

Seriously, did anyone NOT know?

In any case, I wish him nothing but the best.

Maybe not him, but Tony Geary for sure. Of course, he had no problem generating chemistry with Genie Francis (cannot comment on Jane Elliot, hated even the idea of those two as an on-screen couple, never watched their storyline).

Tony Geary is the Charles Nelson Reilly of Daytime.

I did think that VH played a gay teen VERY well. It did cross my mind that he might have been gay. Love him and Luke.

CLB used to be able to play it straight back in the day. He had great chemistry with women. But no longer. Everything about Michael these days screams flaming Queen.

I NEVER bought kevin as straight. Even his SLs were filled with female issues, and not the good kind. Then they paired him with his BFF Chloe. I know it was supposed to be a friendship to lovers story but she just comes across as his beard.

I guess Tony Geary is gay too? I'm not surprised if he is. I wasn't surprised when I found out that Matthew Bomer (ex-Ben, GL, Neal, White Collar,) was gay.

It wasn't being treated as news, though - he was giving an interview about a project he's doing and he spoke about his coming out experience.

I also think that as much as we often say, "OK yeah, we knew," there are others out there who do take some comfort from this, although not as many as there would have been if he'd come out at ATWT.

Thank you for unwittingly driving home a point I was making elsewhere yesterday. Much appreciated

That's all I'll say on that matter.

[ChitHappens]

LeBlanc is a really good actor and he generates great chem with his scene partners, but that should not be confused with sexual chemistry. With Lauren, it's just so odd watching them.

[ajsp35801]

Well, you are very welcome.

[ajsp35801]

They have a great rapport. It reminds me of Will and Grace. You know that something is there. True affection. An attraction of sorts. However, I don't buy that he wants any of her cupcake.

[Khan]

I think so, too. For me, though, the problem is that that's all he can play. He isn't versatile enough.

[YRBB]

I'm gonna let you think about that for a sec.

[amybrickwallace]

That is a very good analogy. I can definitely see that.

The pleasure is all ours, Van. Now, go take some acting lessons, sweetie.
