Galeharold_l Gale Harold, who recurs as the love interest of Teri Hatcher's character on Desperate Housewives, has been hospitalized after suffering serious injuries in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday. As of Thursday evening, the AP reports, the 38-year-old actor was still in Los Angeles County USC Medical Center's intensive care unit, but despite swelling on his brain and a fractured shoulder, hospital officials say he is improving and should recover. In a statement, the producers of Desperate Housewives said, "Gale is a part of the Desperate Housewives family, and our thoughts and wishes are with him for a speedy recovery." No one else was injured in the accident.

Harold first appeared on Desperate Housewives in last May's season finale. He's best known for playing Brian Kinney on Showtime's Queer as Folk. He also starred on Fox's Vanished.

and for the ppl jumpin to conclusions first respect the dead and if u don't have something nice to say "silence is gold"

ceeya Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 10:47 AM EST

ms math=Gale's internet stalker.
Stalkers often hate the ones who wouldn't give them the time of day.
You are a nutcase whoever you are, leave the poor man alone.

colleen Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 10:01 AM EST

He won't go away, Ms. Math, but you need to skedaddle now. Shame on you. Bullying is a sign of insecurity.

LH Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 09:32 AM EST

alcohol + xanax + cocaine = messed up actor. For your information ms. mathematician Gale was planning on showing up for a DH shoot. I highly doubt he was high. Get your facts straight....

Cindy Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 04:18 PM EST

Damn who is this ms mathemetician? Gale, you're beautiful. Please get well
xx Cindy

Daffodil1809 Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 09:55 PM EST

I cannot believe this! It is so horrible!
I watched all ASF episodes and think that he is an AMAZING actor!
I hope he'll recover soon!

God Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 05:41 PM EST

ms. mathematician = b*tch

Get well, Gale ^^ Love you.

ogwannabe Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 12:32 PM EST

Missing you already. Get well soon.Looking forward to you and Mike getting together on DH and can't wait for QAF-The Movie.Praying for you,o.g.

Raddoc Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 12:01 PM EST

ms. mathemetician, you are a rude, thoughtless *itch. How could you say something so horrible. What a sad life you must have.

Mira Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 11:34 AM EST

Last night when I read about the accident and saw the reports, I've been going out of my mind. I don't think I would be able to stand if something happened to him. I'm keeping him in my thoughts and prayers. Love you Gale, be alright for yourself and all of us.

ms. mathematician Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 09:38 AM EST

Yet another example of how alcohol + xanax + cocaine = messed up actor. Hope he doesn't go Heath Ledger on us.

P. Lucchesi Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 08:51 AM EST

I was so sad to hear about Gale's accident. We finally get him back in a series and this happens. I wish him a speedy recovery and will be praying for him.

xSASSerbate *FMDG* Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 06:04 AM EST

I still refer to Gale as Brian Kinney, even though it's been 6 years since QAF ended. I hope he has a speedy recovery!

Candy Kisses Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 04:58 AM EST

I hope Gale will have a full recovery! Loved him on QAF and am glad to see him doing other roles. Lots of prayers going out for him!

Sharon Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 03:01 AM EST

I was so shocked to hear about Gale's accident, really hope he makes a full recovery and that this doesn't cause him any long term health problems. Was so excited about his foray into mainstream TV and really hope that Marc Cherry works to keep Gale in the picture especially when he sees the overwhelming support Gale has from his adoring fans.

Jessica Poitras Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 02:05 AM EST

Oh Gale, get better soon. DH needs you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

chartguy2 Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 10:27 PM EST

Get better Gale! We love u!

Jay Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 10:09 PM EST

What an idiot.

Brian Kinney Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 05:58 PM EST

I'm glad he's better. My thoughts are with him.

ashley Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 05:15 PM EST

Prayers for Gale. He is one of my absolute favorite actors. I hope he gets well soon

Jacky M Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 04:15 PM EST

Thank goodness Gale is OK, we have lost enough wonderful actors to this sort of thing. I just hope he has no permanent damage to his beautiful body.

I agree about the helmet, unlike many actors he's so brilliant it would be tragic for his brain to have been damaged but I guess it's OK from the press releases.

Anyway we are all thinking supportive thoughts or praying or whatever each one of us does so GET BETTER GALE*****

jazzmine Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 04:07 PM EST

I hope the news will continue to be good!!! We love you Gale! My prayers are with you. Stay off the bad motorcycles!!!!

Tiffany Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 03:36 PM EST

I am sooooo glad to hear that Gale is doing better. He is a great talent and brings new life to Wisteria Lane .. I hope he is back soon. I really like his addition to the show. Get well soon Gale. Our prayers are with you :0)

Ishisu Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 03:23 PM EST

I am praying really hard for his recovery. I really hope he'll be ok as all his fans do. Keep it up, Gale! We'll wait for you!

kasey Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 02:55 PM EST

oh my god...i really hope he's ok. recover soon darling, we love you!

jaime Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 02:19 PM EST

i hope everything is ok and goes well!

Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 02:18 PM EST

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery and return to Wisteria Lane.

Lili Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 01:57 PM EST

I absolutely lovvvvvvvvvve the sexy Gale Harold (from queer as folk days) and I just read about his accident and was shocked. Thank goodness he is going to be okay. I send him wishes for a speedy recovery. He is a great talent and I can't wait to see him back in action.

Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 01:23 PM EST

Thank God he's ok. I assume he was wearing helmut, if he wasn't it could have been much, much worse. Really liking him on the show so he needs to ride safe and stick around.

CindyC Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 01:10 PM EST

Thank goodness he is going to be alright. As the news unfolded (on other sites...) it was scary there for a bit.
