Brothers and Sisters

I just love this Walker family. I know I made a previous post about this but man. Watching this series cracks me up. They are just crazy. I can't imagine having another 2 older siblings making it 5 of us. I know some of you have 5 siblings but how can that work out. It's just insane!!!

So, let's see who is who.

Nora Walker(Sally Fields) - The head of the family after William Walker(father of the family) passed away due to a heart attack. However, he left the family with a some surprises. Anyway, Nora is one neurotic yet respectable figure of the family. Her role in this series gives a sense of motherness and homeliness.

Sarah Walker(Rachel Griffiths) - Being the eldest in the family, it isn't easy. She is the President of the plantation company, Ojai built by her late father and endured a lot of mishaps within the company after her father's passing. She is this super mom with 2 children unfortunately, her marriage isn't that stable and will have to see more what will happen.

Kitty Walker(Calista Flockhart) - Number 2 in the family. Now, everyone just see Calista as Ally McBeal. But I think she has certainly done well here. Being the Republican in the family working in politics. She is very funny and most of the time causes trouble in her relationship. But we do have our good and bad moments. She is now engaged with her boss, the Senator of California.

Tommy Walker(Balthazar Getty) - The dangerous one. Hahaha. Just kidding. The middle child. The middle children syndrome does exist and they can be very dangerous like my sister. Anyway, he plays as the eldest brother here and he definitely feels the most unloved in his family. Just on the side note in reality, who calls a son Balthazar. I thought it's a demon's name.

Kevin Walker(Matthew Rhys) - The gay son. Well, he might be gay but he is definitely funny. I mean really funny. Always making things revolve around him, he definitely has been in and out many relationship disputes. He has now a gay minister boyfriend who is apparently going to MALAYSIA(Yes Malaysia!!!) for a mission(Didn't know Malaysia was THAT poor!!!).

Justin Walker(Dave Annable) - The youngest among them. Yay!!! He is so like me. The nice and sweet one. We can't really voice out too much but just being the nice one saying yes yes and give tonnes of nods to agree with everyone. Go bro!!!

Anyway, he enlisted in the army and was sent to Afghanistan. Upon his return home, he endured an ordeal that changed his life forever. However, he was not spared from the war in Iraq. He was deployed back to Iraq in summer and that's when the series ended. So, now in season 2, we are here to see what will happen to him and to the Walkers.

Rebecca Harper(Emily VanCamp) - Ah ha. This is the mishap that William Walker had. He had another daughter with another woman. So, she is the new addition to the Walkers and it caused an uproar. She seems to be now more visible in the family so we shall see how this goes.

Holly Harper(Patricia Wettig) - Well, if Rebecca was the step daughter then she is the mistress. She had a hard time finding her way through the family however, William gave her some shares to Ojai and she is now one of the directors of the company. She now with Tommy opened a vineyard starting a wine business together.

Saul Holden(Ron Rifkin) - Older brother to Nora Walker is certain the most sane person in the family. He certainly has a great figure to the family and without a doubt a good older brother. However, he has a deep relation with Holly and now with another man. Aiya. So deep and complicated. Have to wait and see it.

Julia Walker(Sarah Jane Morris) - Wife of Tommy Walker and mother to twins. However, the younger twin died due to immature birth. She has been torn apart and is taking a lot of time to recover. I suppose losing baby can takes its toll on anyone who really want children.

and

Robert McCallister(Rob Lowe) - The Senator of California and now engaged to Kitty. He has been a guest host in Season 1 and now is playing a more important role now. He is now running for Presidency and with Kitty on his side, I'm sure he will win it.
