Gorham lands new role as a groom
Many of you got upset when I talked about how Fresno native Christopher Gorham was not going to return to the ABC series "Ugly Betty." When last we left the show, Betty was torn between two lovers and one of them was Henry (Gorham). Even the suggestion Gorham would not be back made many of you mad enough to write.
Well, I was right. Gorham will not be back. But he has landed another series.
Gorham will co-star on the CBS' midseason drama "Harper's Island." Despite the fact the series is not scheduled to begin airing until January, it is getting a lot of attention. That's because it is a serialized horror story. A group travels to an island near Seattle. Many of the guests will meet gruesome ends as each episode unfolds. A wedding is to be held on the island. Gorham takes over the role as the groom-to-be, a role Ryan Merriman had been originally cast to play. As one person close to Gorham put it, as the groom his odds of surviving seem good.
Here's the kicker. Gorham's character in the new show is also named Henry.
It is great to see Gorham is going back to work. The Fresno native just needs to land that one good role that will make him a star. This series looks like it could have the same impact on its cast as a show like "Lost" did for its players.
The downside is Gorham is leaving a quality show. It was nice to watch the rivalry between Henry and Gio (Freddy Rodriguez) as they both battled for Betty's (America Ferrera) attention. The season finale left Betty pondering her future. We now know one direction she won't go.
Betty's loss is "Harper's Island's" gain.
