ABC hearts Trannies
First Ugly Betty, now Dirty, Sexy, Money. The new ABC show will feature famed transsexual actress Candis Cayne in a reoccurring role. Cayne plays Carmelita, a transsexual who is having a affair with married US Senator Patrick Darling (played by William Baldwin), who believes that this relationship with Carmelita could hurt his chances of becoming the next President of the United States. Based on casting of Billy Baldwin as a senator leads us to believe this show is a comedy. But anyway, kudos to Cayne who was born Brendan McDaniel and began transitioning in 1996.
If DSM proves to be a hit, we’ve learned of some additional shows in development at ABC featuring transsexual men and women.
Everybody Loves Ronald - The craziness never stops for successful weatherman Ronald Namone, whose oddball family life consists of a fed up wife, two goofy step kids and some nosey neighbors. Hilarity ensues when Ronald reveals he was not only born a woman (Rachael Nussbaum) but is also Jewish to boot.
Webster - Updated for the new millennium from the classic 80’s sitcom. The post-retirement season is suddenly disrupted for ex-football player George and his wife Katherine when Webster, the orphaned transgendered son of a former teammate, moves in. Laughter, life lessons and plenty of workin’ it in every episode.
Two Half Men - An uptight male to female chiropractor (Alissa) who recently had gender reassignment surgery moves in with her pre-opp female to male sister (Charlie). Will Charlie every pick a surgery date and will Alissa ever stop nagging about the dishes in the sink? Tune in to find out.
