Welcome
to Season Four of Brothers and Sisters. No matter what changes, challenges, or even
crisis the Walker
family pulls together as family. It's a
season of major change for everyone, a political campaign for Kitty, Sarah
finds a new love, Kevin trying to start a family, Tommy returning from a failed
marriage, Justin and Rebecca's marriage, and Nora their mother is just trying
to hold them together at the diner table. It seems like everyone is changing and
drifting apart, but when tragedy strikes Ojai Foods, the family company, can
they set aside their differences to save the family?
With the passing of William Walker, Nora Walker is the head matron of the Walker family, and must
deal with his legacy, his wealth, his company and children he left behind...
not to mention a few skeletons in the closet, including a mistress,
half-brother and half sister. As they
struggle to get along and live their lives time and time again they find
themselves in one fix or another but they are held together by the strong
steadfast love of their mother. From success
to failure, the one thing they can't lose is family, and the one thing they do
learn is when the chips are down they can rely on each other.
This series is about very large
family, their extended family, their friends and their stories. It has a series of complex relations between
all the characters and the ties that bind them together. The family is not only large, but fairly
wealthy and there is a wide range of occupations from being a politician,
lawyer, soldier, to being business owner. The characters personalities clash back and
forth (just like siblings), fighting over each one of their own agendas. The series does a fair range of character
types that the audience can relate to, its stories focused on simple themes
such as family and the emotions that come with them. Extras include bloopers, deleted scenes, and
behind the scenes with cast and crew.
