When NBC's "Southland" premiered, there was a subtle hint that the roughneck cop John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz) is gay. At the time, executive producer John Wells said a more definitive scene had been cut from the pilot and would air in episode three.
But we're beyond that point in the series run now. What happened to the scene? Did producers or the network decide to de-gay the character (see: Zach on season one of NBC's "Heroes")?
According to a network spokeswoman, "the next scene that reveals more about John's character is episode six. Again, it is subtle."
That episode is due to air May 21. I couldn't get any information on the reason for the latest delay.
