People found it weird at first, but now they love he and his wife together.

You're talking about Henry (played by Trent Dawson), right? I

him. I used to watch ATWT a lot, and he was my favorite character/actor. Actually, he wasn't supposed to be a main character. He started out as a minor day player. But he became so popular with fans that he became a major character on the show.

Funny story that involves both ATWT and GA. I used to hang out on an ATWT board, and it had a daily OT thread. One was titled "McDreamy or McSteamy?", but a bunch of posters picked George, even though he wasn't even part of the original question/post.

Gah, I'm going to miss TR so much.

I love that he's doing theater though. I just wish I could see him.
