Cowlip's intentions about Brian and Justin

[nightvision55.livejournal.com]

Hi, this is the first time I've posted here so please forgive any mistakes ...

I was just wondering; in the UK original, the focus of the series was the Brian/Michael relationship, and they were the ones who ended up together. So, did Cowlip originally intend that in the US version, and did they just go with the Brian/Justin pairing because they realised how hot the chemistry between Gale and Randy was?

Does anybody know?

Re: anything but Hal

Biku, I agree, that interview was totally unprofessional and petty. But It wasnt 5 years after the show ended, it was done in 2008, and it was right when all the reunion buzz was getting started and they were all being asked about it. Regardless, it was among the stupidiest and just bitchiest things I have ever seen and yep, that is reason enough to dislike him.

But no, Hal still has a friendly rapport with most the cast. The charity thing is very social, he and Michelle went out to dinner before, drinks after, all fun and jokes. That was social and they bragged about it on FB, all their NY fun.

Thea posted last month a overly sappy lovefest to how great Hal is as a friend and actor.

Peter just called into Hal's show last week for a gigglefest of just friends being goofy.

So he isnt shunned or hated, but he caused a riff, which is more than obvious and if its a Gale or Hal choice, its clear who they are going to pick.

Its really funny, because when the reunion video came out, every one was talking about how Randy & Gale were not there because of their issues with how it ended and they were the black sheep of the family. Its funny how time & opinion is changing things.

I liked Hal as the Talk Soup host, pre QAF and I wanted to like him on the show, but I cant stand his personality and the character was annoying too, so I share your opinion.

I think he is the most interesting to keep tabs on though, because he has a big mouth and he spews it all over the place. Just the other day he tweeted that he would LOVE to do a QAF movie, but unfortunately, he is in the minority. It was very interesting to see him play the martyr, when really, the only person who has really come out and said a reunion would be bad, is Peter, and Scott and cowlip then agreed with his logic.

There are just so many wonderful reasons not to like the guy, I just think its important that people base their opinion on real stuff, not rumor, thats all. :)
