Wonderful news about Gale Harold!

This one's nice, except for the dodgy reference to Queer as Folk!

Thank goodness for small miracles: after breaking his shoulder in a vicious motorcycle accident last week, Desperate Housewives eye candy Gale Harold has been released from the intensive care unit at L.A. County - USC Medical Center, reports E! News.

"Gale Harold is out of intensive care and improving daily. A full recovery is expected," said the actor's rep in a statement. "He thanks everyone for their good wishes."

All the women in the Dose.ca offices just breathed a collective sigh of relief - Harold's beautiful body would be a terrible thing to waste.

Soon after Harold's Oct. 14 accident, producers of Housewives assured fans that the 39-year-old actor would not be written out of the show, nor would his hospital stay hinder production.

"It's something they can work around," said inside sources at the ABC dramedy. "Production schedules are changing all the time and they will work it out."

Praise Jebus! Harold's shirtless scenes are what made us start watching again after swearing off the show two years ago. And, come to think of it, they were one of the few reasons we tuned in to Queer as Folk, too. (We swear, his pecs have sexy, hypnotic powers.)
