Brothers & Sisters Cast & Crew

The dysfunctional Walker clan rallied around youngest sibling Justin after he returned from combat with a serious leg wound that contributed to a relapse with prescription painkillers, but there's been a world of psychic pain to go around for the other characters as well. Kitty's husband, Sen. Robert McCallister, has ended his once-promising presidential bid, but their marriage is strained by Kitty's nagging desire for motherhood. Kevin, however, has taken a big step toward emotional maturity via a commitment ceremony with his longtime boyfriend, chef Scotty Wandell. Less happily, Sarah's marriage to Joe is over following his fleeting dalliance with Rebecca -- who, it turns out, isn't a lost Walker sibling after all. Meanwhile, mom Nora is stunned on at least two fronts: Her brother, Saul, just came out of the closet, and apparently her late husband, William, has a long-lost illegitimate son, Ryan, out there somewhere. Ken Olin, Greg Berlanti, Monica Owusu-Breen and Alison Schapker are the current executive producers. Original executive producer Marti Noxon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") left the series before it premiered, citing conflict with the show's creator, playwright Jon Robin Baitz, who eventually left the show himself during the second season. Additionally, original costar Betty Buckley was replaced by Sally Field prior to the show's premiere. Field won an Emmy as outstanding lead actress in a drama series for her work in the first season.
