Okay, I was a little confused by this. Under the discussion page on his Wikipedia entry, it says that James Van Der Beek and him had a relationship in real life and that resulted in him leaving because the producers though it would hurt the show. Huh? Did anybody else know anything about this? Or is this completely false? I thought they were both straight.

You posted this December of 2009. Did you not go thru the other postings and see that John himself wrote a post called John Wesley Shipp, why I left Creek back in 2007. He gives a thorough explanation to try to clear up the exact thing you just posted about. This was also stated in an interview with him on a website about the show, The Flash. Wikipedia is not a website you can rely on for accurate info. Anyone can put stuff on that website.

It's a rumour that's been doing the rounds since forever. Both men named in the story have politely stated there's no truth to it so many times I'm sure they've lost count (and patience, I wouldn't wonder).
Wikipedia's a lot like the FAQ pages here at IMDb many people post opinion or rumour as if it's fact. They may not mean to gossip or mislead, but they don't think critically about the claims they're making. You have to choose judiciously what you're going to believe.
You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
