BALTHAZAR GETTY EXITS "BROTHERS AND SISTERS"

 
 Released by Miss TV Girl 

One more cast member is saying goodbye to 'Brothers & Sisters and this time its a Walker.

Balthazar Getty will not return for Season 5 of the ABC family drama. 

An ABC spokesperson confirmed the exit, siting the upcoming one year jump as a way to phase out the Tommy character.

Getty's character, Tommy, will return to Seattle to be close to his estranged wife and daughter. Getty will not appear in the premiere episode on September 26, but his story will be wrapped up presumably in dialogue. 

The ABC spokesperson says there's no guarantee Getty won't guest star later in the season as it's still being written.

I am really upset at this news. Why? Because  I love the dynamics of the 5 brothers and sisters, so the exit of one sibling is very upsetting to me.  I know that he only appeared in about 5 episodes last season, but I was excited for his return each time and  I am pretty sure that he won't be around at all this season. 

Complete BUMMER.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS FLASHBACKS TO THE '70sAND '80s

Released by Miss TV Girl

My favorite thing to watch on television "Brothers and Sisters"  is flashing back to the '70s and '80s. The ABC drama is currently casting younger versions of the entire Walker clan for a two-part episode set in 1973 and 1986. Holly and Saul will also be included in the flashback episodes.

ABC has not confirmed the plotlines for the flashback episodes, but I am sure they will include William's affairs with Holly and Ryan's mother.  We may also get a better understanding of what really went down between Dennis and Williams.

I can't wait.

Once again this wonderful show has given me something to look forward to watching. 

I swear from the day that "Brothers and Sisters" premiered I have never been disappointed or let down by any episode.  This a great show with a great cast and if you are not watching you are truly missing out on the greatest family drama ever.
