Danica McKellar is weighing in on actor Neal Bledsoe’s exit from the Great American Family network following Candace Cameron Bure’s remarks on same-sex couples.
“Neal is a wonderful person. He’s such a great actor,” McKellar, 47, told Fox News Digital of her “Christmas at the Drive-In” co-star. “I have enjoyed working with him so much. He and I both share our love and support of the LGBT community for sure.”

Neal Bledsoe, a regular star of Christmas movies on the conservative-leaning Great American Family, is distancing himself from the cable channel amid backlash about its lack of inclusion of LGBTQ characters.
In a statement given to Variety on Monday, Bledsoe said “my support for the Lgbtqia+ community is unconditional” and that recent statements made by leadership at the network were “hurtful, wrong, and reflect an ideology that prioritizes judgment over love.”
“Nothing is worth my silence or their ability to live and love freely in a world that we are lucky enough to share with them,” Bledsoe, the star of films such as Hallmark’s “A Christmas Carousel” and this year’s Great American Family movie “Christmas at the Drive-In,” said in his statement. “I was raised as a Christian, and believe in the essential message of love and forgiveness. That said, I could never forgive myself for continuing my...

“My life wouldn’t be where it is today without the love, support, and guidance of the Lgbtqia+ community. From my mentors in college, to the myriad of agents and managers, writers and directors, teachers and colleagues, and, of course, my dear friends and family, who have all touched my life, I owe them a great debt,” began Bledsoe. “As someone who struggled as a young man with our society’s extremely narrow definition of masculinity, it was their community that provided me with refuge and a guiding light when my life felt lost.
