(Los Angeles, California) A hospital spokeswoman says “Desperate Housewives” actor Gayle Harold is in critical condition following a motorcycle accident.
USC Medical Center spokeswoman Adelaida De La Cerda said Harold was awaiting further tests.Publicist Nancy Seltzer said Wednesday that Harold fractured his shoulder, and “Housewives” creator and executive producer Marc Cherry said he apparently has swelling on the brain but was expected to recover.
Harold plays Jackson, the boyfriend of Terri Hatcher’s character, who plays a pivotal role in the fifth season’s eighth episode.
Cherry said Harold was scheduled to be on set before the Tuesday accident, which was first reported by TMZ. Selzer said no one else was injured.
Harold played Brian Kinney in the Showtime series Queer As Folk from 2000 – 2005.





I also read of a pivotal scene in the current Desperate Housewives series where Harold along with much of the principal cast are caught in a nightclub fire. Shades Of QAF indeed. Ripoff? Maybe, we’ll see.
We’ve watched him in both shows. We wish him well in his recovery and our prayers
are with him and his family.
Get well, Gayle!
Gale we love you. You got to get well soon. You were our favorite on QAF and we love you on D.H. you are so gorgeous and hot. Praying for you Gale.
I was so very, very upset when I just found this out. I had no idea. You got to be more careful, you gorgeous man, you. Omg. Gale Harold is awesome, the best as with Brian Kinney, the best and extremely hot!
His name is GALE Harold, no ‘y’. Get it right please, this guy’s seriously injured. I love this guy, think he’s amazing. So hope he gets well. He’s been beautiful on DH, and he was a legend on QAF. He’s got to stay around. Please be alright Gale, please. x.
