'Brothers & Sisters': How Emily VanCamp will depart the show
Fans were caught by surprise when news broke that Emily VanCamp is leaving "Brothers & Sisters." The good news is that unlike Balthazar Getty, VanCamp will return for several episodes to wrap up Rebecca's storyline.
"I think that what we are going to do is send Rebecca off in a very fitting and appropriate way that honors who she has been to us," executive producer David Marshall Grant tells Zap2it.
After the one-year time jump, we'll return to find Rebecca and Justin's (played by Dave Annable) relationship in a rocky place according to Grant. Viewers will remember that Justin wanted to do medical work in Haiti for a year. Rebecca felt that it was too early in their marriage to be apart for such a long time. Guess what? Justin went.
"So, I think when [Justin] comes back we find their marriage in a very problematic place," Grant tells us. "And I think we're going to watch Rebecca and Justin come to terms with how to move on from each other."
Fans have worried about how VanCamp's departure will affect Patricia Wettig's (who plays Rebecca's mom, Holly) status on the show, as well. There have been reports that Holly will lose her memory, which may make it easier to get over Rebecca's departure, right? At any rate, Grant says that Rebecca's story with her mother will be dealt with, as well.
"I think that [Rebecca's] arc when she comes on the show is going to involve not just her relationship with Justin and how that ends but also her relationship with her mother," he says. "So I think that is a big couple of episodes for Rebecca where she has to make peace with her mom."
We expect that the issue of the new Ojai water geyser (which we'll disclose more details on soon) and how to deal with the Walkers on it will provide more story for Holly. Currently, Rebecca's departure storyline is scheduled for Episodes 3 and 4 of the new season.
Thoughts on how Rebecca will depart, Zappers?

They need to honour this brilliant actress. She makes you cry, she makes you laugh and its sad to see her go. It's too bad they have to diminish the relationship with Justin, but it's been headed in such a bad place for too long. We all wanted them to be together and I think the writers found a perfect way to have to exit because of the destruction they've done with writing a bad relationship. I wish her the best and I think her career has just begun. SIDE NOTE: They need to revamp after the vancamp haha!
Emily will be sorely missed. I enjoyed her part on the show so very much.
Too Bad. It's a storyline that will be missed. This show is going in the wrong direction and now getting boring.
It's one that was really good when it started and is now going downhill.
did not know emily was not coming back to b&s.first rob lowe and now emily.the show does not seem the same.kind of boring right now.time to make something exciting happen.
Brother's&Sister's has lost it's appeal for me.What where
they thinking.Jumping a year in advance.What made the show.Was holy taking on the walkers.Nora being a strong matriarch of the family.Justin and Rebecca getting
together.When you have a season finale.The cliff hanger is suppose to answer.All the questions in the next season
premier.Not jump a year ahead.Since holy has amnesia.
Think I will also and just forget about the show.
im sad to say i agree, this used to be one of my favorite shows, and now it's like there's a new writer or something. not only do we have the missing characters to contend with, but it seems many of the walker clan have lost their fire (im thinking nora and sarah specifically), and the dialogue is just.... blah. if kevin and scotty adopt a "troubled youth" im leaving. not that i have anything against troubled youth.. its just entirely unimaginative way to go for these two characters.
