John Wesley Shipp

Ask him if he really fucked James Van Der Beek in his trailer on the set as an 18th birthday present as the rumor said.

I still would.

Ask him whethere there is a five head "down there" too

Here she is...

Is that Tootie Fields with hiim?

Ask him which old queen on The Guiding Light set stole his speedo-Doug Marland, Chris Bernau, William Roerick or Mart Hulswit?

Did JVDB cause any damage to his crotch when he gave JWS a blowjob?

Why didn't he and Marcia Clark settle down and have babies?

Ask him if he had sex with Robert Newman circa 1982.

Ask him if he had sex with Greg Beecroft circa 1982.

Is he jealous of Kevin Bacon?

How big a cunt was Pamela Long Hammer?

Does he still sell copies of his Christian music albums?

He's not gay.

Ha! That's funny

Are fans who imagine a relationship between JWS and JVDB called Shipp Shippers?

^ no they're called Shipp Shafters

I'd love to shaft him! Hell -I'd even let him shaft me.

is he on any gay app? which one?

R18, I doubt it would be that good. He’d be done in a Flash.

He's still hot as fuck.

There is a pretty big con coming very near where I live and I just want to go to see if any of the "famous" people would be on any of the gay apps(or bathhouses)

He’s a sweetheart

Ask him about the kate Lisa brown

^ Late

Still looks good. Never watched Dawson’s Creek but he was my favorite on GL.

Are he and JC Alvarez just hiding in plain sight?

Shipp also is always posting the gorgeous view from his terrace in Long Island City. PS1 is very visible in the shots so it’s not hard to figure out where he is.

He had his hole filled with Dawson's Cum

My mom had such a crush on him when he was Kelly Nelson on GL. I did too. He’s one of the celebs who helped me understand what a gayling I was.

His album Images came out in 1981. I was 11. For years and years I searched every Sam Goody and other record stores for it. I’m embarrassed by how often I’d ask the clerk if they had it. (I also searched for Tom Nielsen’s album, Pretty Boy Floyd.). To this day I’ve never been able to hear JWS song the theme to Prisoner: Cell Block H.

When I was a young gayling and my sister forced me to watch Dawson ‘sCreek with her….lets just say I felt intense attraction in an inexplicable way.

There is only one question that should've been asked, OP: Are you a top or bottom?

Is JWS a top or a bottom? Actually, I don't really care. I'd do him either way tomorrow!

JWS, whom I know socially through the business, is extremely kind. He's interactive with his fans, always says nice things about the shows he's on -- not in a fake way but he finds the truth and speaks happily about what he's working on.

I was peeved that The Flash didn't have him back initially after Henry was killed off but then someone very smart decided to make him Jay Garrick (he LOOKS like him) and also Barry Allen of Earth whatever 1990-91 was.

He was brilliant as Doug Cummings AKA Dougie Cumanski on As the World Turns; he won an Emmy for that role as well as Martin on Santa Barbara; but the role he'll always be known for best is GL's Speedo-clan Kelly Nelson, an earnest med student who made me believe that a grown man with the body of a god was head over heels in love with a teen girl with an inquisitive nature and a flat chest.

Then again, Dolly Parton's bosom would pale if she stood next to Kelly and his MASSIVE man pecs. I'd give anything to rest my head on them and fall asleep.

R32, Kelly and Morgan’s love story was such a favorite of mine when I was a kid. I was crestfallen when Kristen Vigard was fired.

Kelly and Morgan wed at Laurel Falls - August 1981

-Mary!

Ask him if Amanda Pays queefed a lot on the set of "The Flash."

GL was my first soap because of him. I sort of lost interest once Kristen Vigard left and I discovered All My Children, but I’ll always have a soft spot (well, not so SOFT) for being my first speedo-clad crush when I was a wee gayling.

He still looks great, and I bet he’s really sick of men telling him what a crush they had on him in the GL days, but I bet he’s nice enough to not act like it.

All this talk of a speedo clad hunk and not one photo.

I was in LOVE with JWS in the late 70s when he was on GL. At some point about 10 years later, I was working out at a primarily gay gym in Philadelphia and there he was in a jockstrap in the locker room. I just about wet my pants. I was stupid enough to tell him I was a fan and that I loved the Kelly-Morgan- Nola storyline. He was polite, but just, probably because I was a desperate little gay fan and we were in a locker room.

When I asked, he said he was in town playing Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Stupid me said “great part!” A few weeks later I saw him and what I assume was the rest of the cast dancing after the show at a gay bar. He was not a good dancer at all.

Speedo

A short clip where Alan Locher brings up John’s speedo.

I’d eat his ass.

He worked out at the Paris Health Club on the UWS. Was a big steam room queen. Extremely full of himself, with good reason.

R42 was he nasty in general or wasn’t too fond of your intense “fuck me” stares.

He had a great nude scene in NYPD Blue

Great ass

Not nasty, just conceited. And every gay man in the place (and there were lots!) stared at him.

He's very humble now. Very politically liberal, rooted in spirituality (his father was a minister).

He was here briefly but a few posters said unspeakably hateful things to him and he bolted, never to return.

Back in the 70s, the Shipps had a party for teens in their Virginia home. There were both white and black kids there and so somebody shot a bullet into their house. Nobody was injured. But there was a newspaper story JWS published on his FB page once with a photo of the family the day after it happened and JWS was such a handsome kid even in his teens.

I liked JWS's GL character, Speedo and all, but it was his successor in Speedoland, Grant Aleksander, who was my inspiration for years.

Grant (who is straight) these days is like a little old lady who sits in her rocking chair crocheting, in both look and demeanor. Saw him in a play on a trip to New York a few years ago, where he was still the leading man, and was astonished at how sexless he was. No heat at all, just...mild all the way around. Time can be hard on the blonds. Day to day, and in real life, he looks markedly worse than his headshots.

R45 thanks for the pictures from NYPD BLUE......talk about must see TV!

At least ever since the original "The Flash" ended, JWS has been extremely sweet guy. He may well have been full of himself when he was young and painfully pretty, but he got over himself.

R50 He's 64 this year and I agree, he seems to have hit a wall a few years ago. The angularity of his face, which was so attractive when he was younger, now makes him look gaunt. But bless him for bringing it as long as he did.

R51 Wrong network you dumb cunt.

I still wouldn't throw him out of bed for eating saltines.

I'd still do him. Or let him do me. He's HAWT!

And hung.

My husband was close friends with him before he became famous. They waited tables at the same restaurant and Shipp walked out when he got the call that he had booked his first soap. I think they have a story about being in the backroom of a gay bar with Rock Hudson.

Hope he's ok. Seems to be from his Instagram.

He seems to be posting on a regular basis so I think he's OK. Hopefully. He was celebrating his significant other's b-day recently.

he has a BF???

R61, I believe he’s been with his bf for a lengthy amount of type. While he hasn’t spoken (to my knowledge) about being gay, it’s my understanding that’s he’s been living a relatively open life for years.

Hiding in plain sight

The JWS/JVDB thing sounds totally fabricated.....but the idea of it is hot as fuck

R45 Oh yes that is. Any idea about its current condition? Is it still plow worthy.

John is 68 so perhaps that ass isn't quite what it used to be

Perhaps, R66, but it's still better than most of the asses out there -including on a lot of twenty-somethings!

Where can we see his BF?

R68 His longterm partner JC Alvarez.

From fraubook.

And JSW just put a photo of JC on his instagram five days ago wishing him a Happy Birthday, writing "the adventure continues."

My pussy stinks!

He's a huge Madonna fan and posted attending her concert - he's gay. And hot

They are both hot as fuck. Can you imagine getting into bed with that couple? Or even watching a video of them in action?

GOOD MORNING!

Still Bert Bauer's best line delivery after reading Ed for filth for not supporting his dad and saying, "Well, Mike told me at Cedars today after he got back from Europe, he know has a clear case against Alan which could send him to jail but he's not sure how this will impact Hope and Alan-Michael."

^

know = now

JC is into the superhero material as well. He must love fucking The Flash... lol

Look around at these meet and greet conventions that JWS attends and you might find JC in attendance.

From a 2014 event:

R74 The look on Bert's face when Kelly/John sat at her patio table to have breakfast in nothing but a dripping wet Speedo.......was hilarious.

JC is sexy as hell.

JC is quite handsome, for sure. Seems like they've been together for a while.

^^^ Photos started showing up in late 2013, so at least a decade now.

Went to go see the new Aquaman movie for Juan's birthday.

MARY!

Who's the top?

Did he ever attend a gay party with Kevin Williamson and, if so, what is something interesting that happened? (I sooo had a crush on John Wesley Shipp growing up) -- woof.

R82 LOVE YOU. One of the cleverest yet simplest comments in some time. Too funny.

He makes me moister than a snack cake.....down there!

Hi Jerri Blank at R86! ;)

God, what I'd give for the rest of this picture!

[quote] Who's the top?

LOL

his 1981 lp available for purchase on discogs site.

Are we sure that’s him in R88’s link?

R91 The note below it at the source says, "Created using AI tools."

Yeah, R88's photo looks more like AI blended John and Richard Burgi and slapped the result on top of some random AI shirtless torso.

John's posted photos on his FB page so it's not a big stretch to see how he looks, even almost shirtless, at age 69.

JC probably rams that ass with his big brown dick.

Get in line, sister.....he made a lot of us gay!

Ask him how he liked posting on Datalounge. And, then, how the two of you have that in common. See where it goes.

I've heard from a friend who works in entertainment journalism that JWS is exceptionally nice and a big Julie Andrews fan. Both of those things make me like him even more.

One of the nicest, genuine men I ever met.

[quote] JC probably rams that ass with his big brown dick.

JC is CLEARLY a bottom.

R96 Some of us were here when he was originally here. Unfortunately, some dreadful posters had a few dreadful things to say and he ran away from the DL as if he was on fire.

I have never personally dated John Wesley...Shipp(?), but word comes back from those who have that he's a real great guy.

Please, John Wesley, start posting on here again. You're probably still reading. The small number of haters are globally outnumbered by those of us who adore you!

Is Brett Butler at this con?

Did she make him gay?

I've walked by him on the street in NYC a number of times and clearly, he's a big handsome guy but his skin is kind of parched, slightly orange and very sun-baked. It is aging.

He is a very thoughtful and kind man.

R105. He's the type of guy that I would love as a good friend.

A good friend with benefits, R106?

R107. Only if he consents.

Did JVDB call him Dad as he got pounded?

I remember the first time I saw him walk out into a scene clad only in his speedo on “Guiding Light.” I climaxed, immediately.

R110 seriously?

He was at Backstreet in Atlanta one night in the late 1990s, or so we were pretty sure. "Haven't I seen you on TV?" sounds like a pickup line & nobody used it. Even in khakis that ass was All-time Top 5.

I'd still blow him

I'd let him fuck me.

[quote] He is a very thoughtful and kind man.

I would say so, too, R105. .. On that subject, he's previously posted about the influence his father, John Wesley Shipp, Sr. who worked as a Baptist pastor (Rev. J. Wesley Shipp) had on him and his ethics. Just this month, he put a photo of his now-deceased father up writing:

[quote] Great capture of my Dad whose reverence for ethics and adherence to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth concerning society’s responsibility to care for and include marginalized communities and to promote equality and love have informed every aspect of my life. Love you, Dad. 🙏🏼♥️

Back in 1969, Rev. Shipp got press for his views on integration and was forced to resign his post in Wake Forest., NC. Reportedly, he allowed his then teen-age daughter to host an integrated party at their home, which then got riddled with bullets by a drive-by shooter during the party.

There's a collection of these articles about the incident at the following website (PDF file). John Wesley Shipp, Jr. is shown in a few of the follow-up articles that were written 30 years later with quotes about his father.

As hot as he was in his Guiding Light days, the man was walking sex in his daddy years. Stunning.

I still feel like r29 cunts.

,,,,,,

Ask for verificatia, silly!

They don't need verificatia for MY sizemeat.

I know someone who fucked him. He likes to pray after he cums in your mouth.

I met him socially once in about 1988 on the UWS and the thing I noticed is that his ass was enormous!

When JWS was on NYPD Blue (1994) they did one of their famous butt shots with him. Quite memorable.

A recent post of his on his social media......one of the reasons I always genuinely liked and respected him (as well as finding him hot as fuck):

"A word, as this subject is in the news. You know, not every decision that I make in my life is based on a calculation of what would be the best for my career. I regret supporters (the word “fan” makes me uneasy unless one is referring to oneself) that I have doubtless alienated over the years with my advocacy, which is based on my spirituality.

Especially because, from my personal appearances around the world, I KNOW that meaningful connections are made with people with whom I disagree on many things - heart may still speak to heart under many, many circumstances and conditions, and I value the connections I’ve made with people with whom I would disagree enthusiastically on, say, social media (as if sm were any standard on which to base one’s behavior).

At any rate, I was raised to show up and stand up for what I believe to be loving, supportive to the most vulnerable among us, and true, at often great personal, financial, even physical risk. It’s in my DNA. I will continue to be true to what I believe to be among the greatest gifts bequeathed to me by my brave and searching parents. “God help me, I can do no other.”* - Martin Luther" - jws
