Our show was very expensive to produce and there are ways that we were saving money along the years. Desperate Housewives Season 1 Episode 3 Megavideo OnlineI think that there was an attempt to find a way to hit that magic number that. And I think they just finally were unable to do it. TVLINE. Was it a relief, in a way, because now you wouldnt have to trim the cast further I dont think anybody was going to get cut, but. I think that we could have augmented some of that with new faces. But yes, the truth is we were a family drama and at some point if you start to lose more and more of the family, it becomes less and less of what it was in the beginning. I think that as was said at the end of the finale, families change and they adapt and they become something else. I think thats true of all families. So I think you could choose to look at the possibility of a different kind of evolving family and keep going. So I dont think that its a relief that way, but youre correct to point out that the original stories of just that family had shifted. TVLINE How are they handling the news Ive spoken to some of the cast, and Ive exchanged e mails. Watch Iron Man And Captain America: Heroes United Streaming there. Brothers Sisters was a family show, and I think it was a family that put it together. Starting from Robbie Baitz, who created it. His creation and his imprint on the family has lasted all the way through to the the finale. I think especially when you are doing a family drama, it really becomes sort of the essence of collaboration because people bring to the table their stories. And the actors brought their stories and their views of the world and that always made an impression on the writers. Its all part of this family dynamic that intersects and creates this larger thing, which is larger than the brother, or the sister, or the uncle, or the mother. Its the family. TVLINE. Did you see the writing on the wall I felt that we had a chance of getting picked up, but we also had a chance of not. I have to be honest I thought it was a possibility. It came down to the wire. With that in mind, I felt I needed to do two things. What we tried to do was create a finale that had some closure in the sense that we had Scotty and Kevin with their family, Sarah getting married to Luc and discovering that Beau Bridges was her father, Nora falling in love with Brody, and Justin reconnecting to the girl he met in Season One. And the fact that the girl that Justin reconnected with was married. Also, if Brody and Nora were going to live together, they had a new, larger extended family now to deal with because Brody clearly, as he says, has five children, if you count Sarah. So it was both closure and, at the same time, we were hoping that we were opening the door to a new world where there was a new family, a larger family. TVLINE. And I think I probably would have taken Justins relationship with. The fact that she was married was setting up conflict and problems for him next season. TVLINE. I thought that his daughter would have been a great character. So we were really interested in exploring Saras new family with Brody and how that could present conflict with the Walkers, because she now would have one foot in two worlds. Kevin and Scotty had finally created this family that they always wanted, so we were looking forward to telling the story of a gay family with two kids and what that means in terms of the world that we live in today. There was always the possibility of trying to think of that series ending. Something that would have been big for Nora. For Kitty, we were thinking seriously about whether or not we were going to put her in real medical peril because of the pregnancy and give her a choice   a choice that she clearly made Her unborn baby was going to be more important to her. And then the baby was going to be born fine and then we were going to decide what happened to Kitty. TVLINE. The Harpers were part of the show for so long, so it would have been so great to have had them come back for a few episodes.
