I'm actually surprised they introduced a gay character. I watched a little of 7th Heaven at the beginning (abhorred it by the end of its run), but don't remember them ever introducing a gay character. I'll be shocked if Griffin has a kiss, relationship, or anything other than a crush on a straight guy.

Oh, and the actress that plays Ashley has gotten leaps and bounds better in the acting department. Her timing with her jokes last night was really good, especially when talking to Anne and Amy (god, I didn't realize they ALL had the same first initial and telling Griffin that once he met Amy, he'd realize she only had sex that one time).
