My first question is: what the hell took the Disney Channel so long in greenlighting a High School Musical-like TV series? With the break-out success of Glee, they're surely kicking themselves that they didn't get Madison High, the pilot of which is currently being produced, on the air much sooner.
My second question is: is Ugly Betty's Mark Indelicato, who has joined the cast as drama club president Harvey Flynn, going to be the Disney Channel's first fully out scripted gay character?
High School Musical famously included the character of Ryan, who had many stereotypically "gay" qualities, including good grooming and a constantly changing selection of fashionable chapeaus, and who many viewers interpreted to be gay. But his sexuality was never confirmed in any of the movies (although it definitely was in Disney's touring stage production).

Fans have been waiting for Justin to come out of the closet for, well, forever. On this week's "Ugly Betty," he may be getting close.
In the last episode, Justin (played by Mark Indelicato) approached Marc (Michael Urie) about his new crush Lily. Marc (and us viewers) didn't expect him to name a girl! And, rumor has it that Justin will soon have his first on-camera kiss.
This week, Justin and Lily are hanging out for the first time alone or so Justin thought.
Check out Austin (Ryan McGinnis), who may or may not be the fifth wheel:
Who do you think Justin will be kissing first?
This video is set to expire on Thu. March 17.
