And...the actor who plays the priest is gay IRL. I suppose the majority of the people watching didn’t realize that (although he’s a fairly well known actor). Both stars of the show were shocked that he became known as “[b]hot priest[/b].” [/quote]

He is in Modern Love on Prime right now as one of the gay dads.[/quote]

Right. But he’s been [b]gay for decades[/b], and it’s widely known. He’s a popular actor in the U.K. And like Nico Tortorella/Younger, he’s obviously not straight.

I think women went nuts for him because of his accent and swearing. [/quote]

1.  So many (if not the majority) of priests are gay.  They may want to serve god, but many enter the priesthood because they don't want to act on their homosexuality or being suspected of being gay as a lifelong bachelor.

2.  You are gay since birth/inception.  You're just made that way.

3.  A priest that swore so much would never be a parish priest even with a shortage of priests.  The church would put him in charge of a male, adult homeless shelter or catholic run hospital for the mentally ill.  He wouldn't be dealing with the general public.  His swearing habit was a cheap trope to make the character quirky and "funny."

4. Richard chamberlain was/is objectively hot.  He had a huge career long before thornbirds.  Unfortunately he spent most of his career closeted, so hurrah for today where actors can be themselves.[/quote]
