Agree with you about Brandon Walsh. He is the fake charming sort who I dislike and distrust. I run from people like him. It isn't the hair, because in other roles, the very few I have seen him in, he carries the same vibe. I think it might just be Priestly. Ick.

I think Monroe was the first gay but not gay fellow on sitcoms. Or at least the first I noticed. Flaming, but only in polo shirts. That disconnect was really weird too.
