EntertainmentWeekly – Now here’s a blind item you don’t see every day: An hour drama is contemplating making one of its male leads HIV positive. If producers go for it, the story has the potential to be tremendously groundbreaking — a la General Hospital‘s long-infected and (knock wood) healthy lady doc, Robin. But… What? There’s always a “but,” right? There’s still a chance the powers that be will go with Plan B and give the guy a scare rather than a positive diagnosis. Plan C — scrapping the story entirely — is also a possibility. Regardless, we’ll find out around November, my source says, when the plot thickens — or doesn’t. One thing’s for sure, though: You will be watching. On an Aushole popularity scale, the show is about a 6.7. (Hint: I’m not talking about Saul on Brothers & Sisters.)
