Oh man, I'm gonna be sick. :-(

From TMZ:

We've learned Gale Harold, the actor who plays Teri Hatcher's boyfriend on "Desperate Housewives," was seriously injured yesterday in a motorcycle accident.

From AP:

LOS ANGELES - Gale Harold was in critical condition Wednesday after the "Desperate Housewives" actor crashed his motorcycle the day before, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Harold was awaiting further tests at USC Medical Center, spokeswoman Adelaida De La Cerda said. She gave no further details on his injuries.

Publicist Nancy Seltzer said Wednesday that Harold fractured his shoulder, and "Housewives" creator and executive producer Marc Cherry said he apparently has swelling on the brain but is expected to recover.

"We're hearing he's going to be fine, but he's going to be recovering for a couple of weeks," Cherry said.

Selzer said no one else was injured, but did not provide further details on the Tuesday wreck, which was first reported by TMZ. The California Highway Patrol said it had no information about the accident.

Harold plays Jackson, the boyfriend of Terri Hatcher's character Susan Mayer on the ABC show. The character plays a pivotal role in the fifth season's eighth episode, a November sweeps installment which finds several Wisteria Lane residents trapped inside a nightclub fire.

Cherry said Harold had been filming scenes all week for the episode and had been scheduled to be on set Tuesday. He said they would await the actor's prognosis before deciding how to proceed, but that at least some changes would have to be made.

"We know we're going to rewrite one scene," he said.

Just an update... I have a source who was able to tell me that Gale was moved out of critical care this morning. Apparently he is awake, coherent but has no memory of the accident currently. His prognosis is looking good with each passing hour, as the brain swelling is going down.

Fucking motorcycles.

Fuck.

I'm surprisingly upset by this. :-(

I hope he is ok! This is the first I have heard of it. Wow. Glad to hear it sounds like he will be ok.

Motorcyles suck during accidents.

Yeah, we call them donor-cycles for a reason. I hope the mofo was wearing a helmet.

Oh, man, Mary, I hope he's okay. That last bit sounds promising at least.

Thank god for LJ and the ability to get and disseminate information quickly. Otherwise, I'd be a real mess.

OH MY GOD :(

That's awful. :( :( BUT. At least they expect him to be fine, right? (RIGHT???!)

*BREATHES*

They appear to be saying so. But this really upsets me not just for him personally, but professionally as well. A recurring starring role on a top five TV show, and this will really fuck that up too.

God, I hope he's OK. :-(
