Brothers and Sisters: The Shocking R
So I just watched “Brothers and Sisters” big season finale. I’ll update my normal thoughts/summary post on it soon. However I wanted to get this post out there about the big secret for discussion.
Well those who have seen it know what the shock is. Basically William is a man whore! He not only had an affair with Holly, but some other unknown floozy who he had a kid with as well! She was married too and had a husband and other kids. Jeeze Louise! William couldn’t keep it in his pants could he?
Sarah guessed as much, realizing there could possibly be another kid out there with an R name. That is what the R in the password was, that is the baby photo. Rebecca confirmed the baby photo Sarah found wasn’t her. The rest of the Walkers didn’t seem to want to hear this idea though. Kevin however started remembering things and remembered catching his dad with the photo of the kid once before who was supposedly a kid of a friend of his.
When Kevin had the first flashback and heard the name Ryan I knew that was it. For a moment I thought though “Ew gross, please don’t let it be Robert!” No they didn’t go into yet another incest themed story. So apparently William has another kid out there, Ryan, who I guess we’ll meet next season.
Thoughts? I don’t know if I like this twist honestly. They have really made William out to be a bigger jerk than he already was! I don’t know if I want to see through them all going through meeting yet another possible sibling. They better do a DNA test first thing!
I really do hope they find something to take Holly down next year. Tommy is so not winning points for the way he’s acting right now!
When they were all standing there during Kevin’s wedding and Sarah was trying to get them to realize that it was a possibility, you sort of “knew” it was where they were going. I didn’t pick up on the earlier hint from Kevin’s memory tho. I loved that Rebecca was the one to say “that’s not me” with the picture.
Can’t help but wonder what William did for Ryan when we see what he did “for” Rebecca….
BTW. What happened to the shady dealings for Saul that we thought we were going to see. Did they just not have enough time?

I think the stuff with Saul was a badly done preview lol, with Sarah confronting him saying it was fraud and he told her to have him arrested. They made it look bigger than they made it on the actual show.

I did not see this one coming at all!
I don’t think they will be able to take Holly down, because it’s clear now that William did not think Rebecca was his daughter.
I’m curious to see what they are going to do with the new found knowledge of Ryan. They said Ryan’s mother was married so I’m assuming she told her husband Ryan was his son. Are the Walkers now going to barge in and tell Ryan his father isn’t his father?
The kiss between Justin and Rebecca came a little too soon for me. I think they should have waited a little longer to let us all get used to the idea first.
I was also a bit perturbed that Kevin left Scotty on their wedding, or as Kevin would say “commitment”, night to run and talk with Sarah.

I believe the lost “R” is actually “ROBERT”.. something about the fact that he and Kitty can’t get pregnant. He could very well be the long lost “R”

Ok, I didn’t get that William think Rebecca was his daughter. Maybe he didn’t know for certain, but certain she wasn’t? Not sure about that.
The way they showed things certainly planted a seed to think it’s Robert. The Q is what do we know about Robert’s family other than he has a brother. Isn’t Robert the older of the two? Do we know of another sib and if his mother is alive?

Robert’s whole family came to Kitty and Robert’s wedding. I believe his mother was there right?

I honestly don’t remember. And if we want to go down this path it could be a step. We all know history can be rewritten when they want to in La-La Land… 🙂

I am hoping they don’t make it Robert!

I really don’t want to go there either but at this point I think they’ve opened the door to the possibility.

I guess I’m confused why we are thinking it might be Robert. I thought they made it clear the child’s name was Ryan.

Kevin remembered seeing the picture once before and the child in the picture being “the son of a friend who died” – that child was named Ryan.
The way they did the actual scenes gave a “set up” to some of us (based on the comments) that it might be Robert before Kevin remembered the rest of the meeting with William.
