Exclusive: 'Sex' symbol Jason Lewis returns to 'Brothers & Sisters'

Categories: Brothers & Sisters

Brotherssisters_lKevin and Scotty are about to encounter the biggest threat to their marriage since Prop 8: The return of Jason Lewis!

A Brothers & Sisters insider confirms to me exclusively that the Sex and the City vet has inked a deal to reprise his role as Kevin's ex, closeted actor Chad, later this season.

Quick refresher on Kevin/Chad: Introduced in season 1, a then "straight" Chad met Kevin at the gym and the two started a secret affair. When a gossip site leaked incriminating pics of them shopping for lamps at Ikea, Chad decided to come out publicly, at which point he promptly lost interest in Kevin and the two broke up.

According to a B&S insider, the exes reconnect at a bar and one thing leads to another -- although in this case, I'm pretty sure the "thing" it leads to is just some harmless flirting. But I could be wrong.

As of now, Lewis is on board for one episode, which is slated to air in April.

I love Kevin, he has the greatest eyes on the planet, but I love Scottie also, he has that wonderful smile. I am torn, two loves have I and to both I am true.

Note to ABC, leave those boys alone. It's OK for someone to sniff around but DO NOT break-up the best couple straight or gay on television.

Catherine Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 06:27 PM EST

Biggest threat as in Chad, you have got to be kidding me. Unless they don't want to remind the audience just how popular another Kev pairing is...and that with with Jason. I miss Eric Winter, bring him back and permanently.

Actually wait till next season, EW is too good to come back for just one ep and use to prop K/S. Kevin and Jason is the pairing that got away, I will always lament what could and should have been.,

KevWalker Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 04:16 AM EST

I would never cheat on Scotty. If the writers force me to do so I will have to boycott the show.

JoAnne Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 01:30 PM EST

Why has B&S become the "Kevin Show"? They are other people on the cast!!!!

Neil Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 06:38 PM EST

eh, I know it's a soap so people can't stay happy long but I really like Kevin and Scotty as a good, healthy example of a gay relationship that works on tv so I'm not overly excited about this plot twist

Lia Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 06:28 PM EST

He's adorable but I LOVE Scotty and if they screw up his marriage to Kevin I'm going to be so ticked

pelon Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 04:39 PM EST

liked Lewis when he was first on. BUT ~ I really, really, REALLY like Scotty. he's so good to AND for Kevin who too often the producers make a stereotypical bitchy, silly, whiny 'gay' man. Scotty brings calmness and sensibility to Kevin. if the producers really want to mix things up, let Lewis fall for Scotty and scare the doo-doo outta Kevin. Scotty is the prize in that relationship. NOT Kevin.

amanda Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 11:40 AM EST

Kevin and Scotty are the best couple on B&S! I hope the writers will think twice before messing them!

Elizabeth Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 10:38 AM EST

Well, if Kevin doesn't want Scotty, I do, even if he's gay and I'm a straight girl... and I won't mind looking at Jason Lewis.

Ace Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 09:57 AM EST

Scotty is one of my favorites on thsi show, so hopefully skeezy Chad won't do anything to mess with the awesomeness that is Scotty.

Jaden Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 07:06 AM EST

Um. Couldn't they get Eric Winter back instead? He was hot AND could act. I guess anyone is better than boring as hell Scotty though...

Amy Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 10:33 PM EST

Blech! I love Kevin and Scotty and they don't need some ridiculous my ex is back storyline. To quote Lorelai, Jesus, Mary and Joseph on a camel, Brothers & Sisters, what is your problem?

Kareen Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 08:42 PM EST

Please no! Don't touch the sexiest couple on TV, Scotty and Kevin!!

Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 08:15 PM EST

Kevin would think of cheating on gorgeous Scotty over THAT guy!

You have to be kidding, thanks for the laugh!

Zakry Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 07:27 PM EST

I hate to be the buzzkill, but this is a drama series. OF COURSE the characters are going to have conflict. If Kevin and Scotty just sailed along happy as clams, we'd be calling them "boring" (just like people are saying about Rebecca, now that she is fairly drama-free)!

And, its just one episode. Kotty will survive!

mister f Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 07:12 PM EST

Why are all of Kevin's boyfriends so considerably more hotter than him???

Kristoffer Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 07:03 PM EST

I love me some Jason Lewis but I don't want to see anything happen to Scotty. I have liked him since day one on the show and think him and Kevin make a great couple. Now if they want to throw Chad in as a third partner and all parties were happy with arrangement I would be fine with that too! :)

Sylviane Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 06:59 PM EST

Oh, please, I was so DONE with the writers constantly making Kevin cheat on the persons he's supposed to be in a relationship with. Kevin FINALLY made the BEST choice he could make and now they bring back Chad? I liked Chad way back then, but I love Scotty even more and I do hope that the writers will be smarter than to let Kevin cheat on Scotty. There isn't a story-line more lame and more predictable than that one. I hope the writers will shock us by letting Kevin be tempted, but then decide to be the mature man he can be and be faithful.

j.U.d.E. Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 06:39 PM EST

Ooops, forgot to add my name..

Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 06:38 PM EST

Yum indeed! I liked Jason, but I liked Chad even more!

Chad did know Scotty. At least they once met briefly in a bar (not sure which episode though - but I think it is "Valentine's Day Massacre" or the episode after that).

I am agreeing with those who say 'get rid of Rebecca'. She's so bland!

Marie Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 06:09 PM EST

I agree that Father JAson would be the real threat to Scotty/Kevin. (and they should get rid of holly and rebecca)

jaime Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 06:06 PM EST

YUM!!!!!

Thom Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 05:45 PM EST

I'm sure the writers only meant for Jason to be a brief rebound boyfriend for Kevin, but the problem is that it worked too well, and when Kevin went back to Scotty ... kinda feels like he settled because Jason got away.

middle child Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 05:39 PM EST

Given Kevin's neurotic idiosynrasies, I think it would have made for a much more interesting story line if one of Scotty's old boyfriends returned. They could introduce a new hot character to boot.

Or how's this for a twist? Did Chad know Scotty? If not, what if Chad returned having us all believe he had eyes for Kevin, only to find out he was someone Scotty was involved with too!

Carole Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 05:18 PM EST

As much as I liked Kevin with Jason - I really thought they were great together - I now want him to stay with Scotty. C'mon, don't you guys think that they make such a cute couple?

jay Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 05:14 PM EST

Why must they continue to crap on Scotty? They are both serious eye candy, but actor man Chad was an emotional cripple and we know how neurotic Kevin is...let's leave him and Scotty alone...Get rid of Rebecca and her mother...they're sickening..

Eric Winter owns Kevin Walker Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 05:12 PM EST

As much as I liked Scotty in the first season, I got over him pretty quickly when Jason McCallister (eric winter) showed up. I know Eric Winter went off to do another show on CBS, but they should try to get him back if he's available. Scotty is sweet, but everyone knows Kevin would dump him in a second if that hot piece-of-a** priest showed up again.

nykolus Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 04:58 PM EST

d'oh! don't hurt my scotty!!!

Mina Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 04:27 PM EST

I agree with all the people calling for Eric Winter. I STILL miss him and Kevin together.

Michael Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 04:15 PM EST

Jason was great in season 1 but I think if they brought back Eric Winter that would be a bigger threat.

Phil Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 04:12 PM EST

Smith Jarrod is back!!

Mel Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 03:53 PM EST

Yes, yes, yes! Loved Jason in season one!

Marty McDoodle Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 03:49 PM EST

Oh ohhh. Are they going to have a threesome? That would be a first for American TV on a Major Network.
So they are happy now but now they have to inject trouble? Boooo.
Jason Lewis should stick with Sex and the City.
