Thanks for the new thread!

Very cute title, too.

Hopefully we'll start getting more S4 news now that we're in August!

Brothers & Sisters Star Sarah Jane Morris Pregnant

Actress Sarah Jane Morris and husband Ned Brower of the band Rooney are expecting their first child early next year, they tell PEOPLE exclusively.

Morris will be shooting an episode of CBS's The Ghost Whisperer next week. And while there’s been speculation whether Morris’ character will return this season to ABC’s Brothers & Sisters, there’s been no official word yet. The father-to-be is in the studio working on Rooney’s next album.

The couple, who met while attending Southern Methodist University in Dallas and wed in 2005, live in Los Angeles.

Swine Flu Hits 'Brothers and Sisters' Set;

Though it's set to return on September this year, filming for the ABC show Brothers and Sisters has been put to a halt. According to Contactmusic.com, the set of the hit drama was struck with the dreaded swine flu when a crew member was found infected with the virus.

Production was reportedly interrupted for one day, July 27, when one worker started to show symptoms of the potentially lethal illness. It was actress Sally Field, who tapped into her motherly skills, who took control of the situation.

Thanks for the news, Karen! Congrats to Sarah!

And that swine flu news is pretty scary. Glad they caught it and took the right steps. And that everyone's ok.

A baby! Congrats! (and Woo, SMU. Go Texas

)

Man, swine flu seems to be making it's way in the "biz". Glad to see everyone is ok, though!

Glad they caught it on time!

Is Brothers & Sisters Getting Back on Track?

ABC's family drama Brothers & Sisters got a little hard to watch last season—what with the whole ugly Balthazar Getty/Tommy Walker mess—but we just checked in with our sources on the set, and they swear to us that show we love is ready and waiting for us this fall.

Are you interested in getting back in touch with our favorite Pasadena-Ojai clan? Read on to find out what you have to look forward to!

As for "getting back on track", I thought that was supposed to be s3. S2 was the one that got "hard to watch" with all the Lena business, addiction storyline and slightly clumsy de-Walkering of Rebecca. I liked s3 much, much more.

Then again, I do believe the golden days of s1 are gone forever, since the show doesn't seem to do those fun stand alones anymore.

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Thanks for posting that.

It's always hard I think to beat the first season, particularly when you pack so much into it and make it so amazing, I had that with the O.C and every season after the first seemed like a let down. At least they aren't going the same route as that show and S3 was actually better than S2.

Congrats to Sarah!

Oooh! Those storylines for S4 sound interesting

Exactly. It's not like they're going downhill; they had their low points but they bounced back.

Definitely. I feel like nothing can be as bad as the Lena storyline. The first season was amazing and hard to touch, but they've been doing a good job keeping the quality up last year and hopefully this year, too.

**ice_ice_baby** · 08-27-2009, 07:32 AM

I don't think that they've been downhill yet, but that might just be me
