Brothers & Sisters - EverAlias

Love is Difficult

Okay. Can the casting get ANY BETTER?

Alias' Fake-Sloan and Sloan (Ron Rifkin) back on the same show! Joel Grey (Cabaret) guest stars as the therapist Joe and Sarah seek for help in their rocky marriage.

Tom Skerritt is back as William Walker in flashbacks that explains Thomas' bitterness towards Sarah running the show at Ojai. Thomas decides to go into business with Holly. All which kinda bores the rest of the wonderful mood the show has set itself with (Justin and Kitty calling each other "stupid", the family dinners), however, this time, it is all forgiven, because it was all to introduce us, and Thomas by accident, to Rebecca, the half-sister, and daughter of Holly.

Rebecca, is of course played by Emily Vancamp, who us fans have been gunning for the role since the role was introduced. Except, as excited as I was about her casting, I didn't realise it was a PERMANENT CAST MEMBER. WOOHOO!!! Now I REALLY REALLY REALLY AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS SHOW!!! This brings Emily back together with her Everwood creator Greg Berlanti.

Alias cast reunions (Guest Joel Grey, Ron Rifkin, Patricia Wettig, Balthazar Getty), Everwood reunions (Producer Greg Berlanti, Emily Vancamp, re-occurring character Treat Williams). It's like a great theatre troupe that added on some major star wattage to their show (Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths, Calista Flockhart, Rob Lowe).
