Pushing Daisies creator Simon Fuller has told AfterElton.com that a character on the show is gay. Don't read anymore if you wish to be surprised....

Ready?

"It's the coroner," Fuller said, referring to the character played by Sy Richardson. "We were going to slowly expand his character and kind of reveal that he has a little crush on Emerson."

"I didn't want to just do another, like, pretty gay person," Fuller added. "I thought it would be interesting to have an older character be gay."

We think he's right. Do you?
