Sean says...

Stefan and I have been fans of television show Brothers and Sisters, but the on-again/off-again romance between brother Kevin Walker (Welsh actor Matthew Rhys) and Scotty Wandell (Luke MacFarlane) has always been great fun. The relationship between these two has been so real, as much as tv can make it. They actually flirt, date, fight, break-up, make-up, and becomes friends. Their love builds as the seasons went on and it all pays off tonight! It's great to see real gay characters who also have complex issues unto themselves on tv. We are looking forward to tonight's wedding of these two crazy boys on ABC at 10pm EST/9pm CST/10pm PST! This is the first gay wedding of two series regulars on U.S. TV! Here are a few scenes to tell you their story over the last two seasons.

First though is the best proposal on television... I think they stole from my proposal to Stefan here (wink)! You will melt when after Kevin asks Scotty to marry him (which they can only be domestic partnerships in California where they fictionally live), Scotty retorts "...because I changed the lightbulbs?" Sigh.

Kevin & Scotty: The Proposal

Clip #1 shows us Kevin and Scotty meeting for the first time and flirting. The chemistry between the actors (Rhys is straight and MacFarlane is gay) is very obvious and fun!

Kevin & Scotty Meet and Flirt Part 1

Clip #2 are some additonal scenes of Kevin and Scotty in Season 1 flirting, going out on their official first date, and sharing a first kiss. The scene after their kiss (minute 2:52) is especially telling if you watch this and their proposal back to back.

Kevin & Scotty Meet and Flirt Part 2

Clip #3 is their breakup after two months of dating. They had some adventures but eventually the arrogance of Kevin and the strong pride of Scotty came to a head over money issues (Kevin has some and Scotty is waiter) and they come to an end in Season 1. Many thought this was the end to this story too... but wow what a break-up scene!

Kevin & Scotty: The Break-Up

Clip #4 teases us with a possible reunion of our lovebirds but alas Kevin was seeing a closeted soap star and wasn't really ready to be with Scotty yet.

Kevin & Scotty: The Blind Date Gone Weird

Clip #5 brings the 3rd coming of Scotty into Kevin's life (to huge cheers on our part!)!!!!! Kevin is seeing Jason McAllister (Rob Lowe's character's brother) at this time, so Scotty and he agree to be only friends.

Kevin & Scotty Become Friends

Clip #5, #6, #7 and #8 shows Kevin and Scotty post-Jason. Kevin & Jason broke up because Jason moved to Malaysia as a missionary but Kevin said he would wait for him. Jason pretty much ignored Kevin and Kevin was torn as to whether he should break up or not. Scotty in the meantime needed a place to live in a hurry, so Kevin let his friend move in. Long story short (too late), Kevin breaks up with Jason (Eric Winter - who went off to be on Viva Laughlin! and the Moonlight) and Scotty and he cobble together a relationship. My favorite parts are with the actors alone here. They really show a great chemistry and you can see how they really care for each other even when fighting. You know in your heart they will make up and do it really sweetly.

Kevin & Scotty: Defining The "We"

Kevin & Scotty: Kevin lunches with Jason and Scotty pops in unannounced!

Kevin & Scotty: The Car Apology

Clip #9 is the last scene that shows how in love Kevin is with Scotty and vice versa... the drunk karaoke! This is my second favorite scene next to the proposal.
