That could be because he hasn't been over-exposed lately. Never liked him doing drama, he's best as a supporting star, doing little comedy moments. As Antony says, there are plenty out there like him - and at least he's a nice character, unlike many of the real ones...<br /><br />Imister_tmghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847835238095124654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-48267497431182907372010-12-22T17:01:26.115+00:002010-12-22T17:01:26.115+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.mister_tmghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847835238095124654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830446634490957159.post-56716543033319998772010-12-21T23:13:13.069+00:002010-12-21T23:13:13.069+00:00Of course there's no reason to assume any two ...Of course there's no reason to assume any two gay men would be attracted.

Seriously, it doesn't work like that, any more than putting a random pairing of hetrosexual man & woman together.

Peter hasn't even accepted his new brother or nephew yet; maybe we should concentrate on that drama before the comedy of pairing James up Sean. Besides, isn't James closer to David & Graeme's age?
