30-year old "Wildfire" hunk Eric Winter begins his 2-episode guest starring stint on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" on April 15 in episode #19 entitled "Game Night". It is not clear what went wrong with his character, Jason McCallister, the gay brother of Rob Lowe's Senator McCallister, who...
...was originally conceived as Kevin Walker's serious romantic interest in a multi-episode arc. Now it seems his storyline which begins with the first date that turns into a complete disaster may last much shorter than the one of Jason Lewis (Chad) who did not exactly click with all of "Brothers & Sisters" fans.
The actor is involved in a Hugh Jackman produced pilot for CBS called "Viva Laughlin!" also starring Melanie Griffith, 24's D.B. Woodside (the assassinated President), Twin Peaks' beauty Madchen Amick and Jakcman himself. If the pilot is picked up Winter may not be able to return to "Brothers & Sisters".
Oddly enough, it appears the producers have also changed the name of his character, who was originally called Todd. Above is one of the first promotional stills of Eric Winter from the April 15 episode.
This is TELEVISIONISTA
Yes, Eric Winter is a hottie. Much hotter than Jason Lewis.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling Viva Laughlin! will get picked up...especially if it stars Jackman himself. So, Eric is going to say goodbye to B&S because he cannot be part of VL & B&S at the same time.
But it's gonna be great having him for the 2 episodes he will appear in this season.
Expect some good news though come May upfronts (not about Eric).
