Gale Harold Injured in Motorcycle Accident

Desperate Housewives star Gale Harold was seriously injured yesterday in a motorcycle accident, reports TMZ. (On the hit ABC show, Gale plays Jackson on Wisteria Lane–the boyfriend of Susan, played by Teri Hatcher.)

The 39-year-old former Queer as Folk star was taken to the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit at L.A. County - USC Medical Center. Hospital sources confirmed he’s in “stable condition.”

Sending thoughts and prayers to Gale for a speedy recovery!

UPDATE: The actor’s rep says, “We can confirm that Gale Harold was in a motorcycle accident yesterday, Oct 14. He has fractured his shoulder and is under observation to assess any possible further injuries. Everyone is hopeful for a full recovery. No one else was injured in the accident.”

Why’d it have to be Gale?? Agh, I’ve lost the will to live…at least until I see that he’s up and about and all right. Good to hear he’s all in one piece, though. Come back to us, Gale Harold. Get well now, dude!

No… Not Gale. I love him since I saw him on QAF and he’s the only reason I’m watching Desperate Housewives.

I really freaked out when I first read the news. I truly hope he’ll recover soon.

Poor Gale :(

Why is q.u.e.e.r filtered? >.<

You got lucky! Let that give you a feeling of gratefulness and heed the doctor’s advice. You have been in my mind for awhile as can happen when people have been changed “for good.” I still believe in the interconnectedness of all things. Trust in the people that are there for you. That strength is always there. The world is changing …for the better actually…a surprise and a gift to us all. Remember you are a person first and foremost, and what you do with that is always up to you, but make it a point to choose to live well because you are loved and life is worth living. And if you need to be reminded see the Cat.
