That's an awesome article, I love hearing about how actors get along behind the scenes of these shows.  I can only imagine if that exposing himself story is true, how Chris wouldn't have been happy with John doing that... lol.  

I think the series changed once Steven Moffat took over... There's less sexuality explored, like with Capt. Jack, the season arcs are a lot more complicated, there seems to be a different tone to it as well.  I thought I liked Steven's way of exploring the series, but then I remembered how awesome Captain Jack was with his blatant pansexuality and his flirtatious nature, which we don't really see.  Yeah we get flirting with River, but it's not the same.  I mean flirting with anything that moves is pretty awesome.
