Cheryl Hines Lands 'Brothers and Sisters' Gig, Plus A Few Spoilers
9 December 2009 1:18 PM, PST | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »
Last week on Brothers and Sisters, we were left with a huge question looming in the hospital ward. Is Kitty (Calista Flockhart) really dead? She fainted during the wedding, cutting it short, so the speculation ensues. But given the fact that the Walker family pulls through practically any situation, we're not betting on her sudden departure.
Further proof is the fact that Cheryl Hines has been dragged in, and Kristin Dos Santos of E! News has revealed the story arc she'll be involved in. Even though the info below is a bit spoiler-y, you knew it was coming. No, the Curb Your Enthusiasm actress won't be portraying another doctor of Kitty's.

Brothers & Sisters Review: "Nearlyweds"
7 December 2009 5:15 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
The drama that has been building for weeks Brothers & Sisters, along with the title of last night's episode, foreshadowed trouble for Justin and Rebecca's wedding.
Trouble there was, but not what you might have expected. Click here for a full recap of "Nearlyweds." Below, we've written a brief review of last night's episode ...
Nora apparently gets hosed by her younger boyfriend Simon, who said he needed $100,000 for his foundation, and for whatever reason, she goes along with it.
We're led to believe he skips town with her money. Maybe he didn't, but it really looks like Nora was conned, which makes very little sense to us. And here's why:
The Walkers analyze, argue, share and think about everything! Even last week, Sarah and Kevin raised doubts about Simon. Then last night she just cuts a check?!
Come on. She'd never do that without consulting Kevin and Sarah - and after what we saw last week, »

'Brothers & Sisters' recap: Nice day for a Walker wedding (and a funeral?)
7 December 2009 1:14 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Last night, before this episode aired, I sat in my sister's living room trying to catch her up on the show. Her husband, who's never seen an episode, also listened. When I finished, he said ABC should just go ahead and put Brothers & Sisters on every afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. because it's a soap opera. Of course it is. But I've always been fine with that, until now... Let's start with Nora giving a large check to Dr. Handsome, Simon, for his "Guatemala Project."

Cheryl Hines Cast as Kitty's Bff on Brothers & Sisters
2 December 2009 3:04 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Cheryl Hines is best know for awkward Curb Your Enthusiasm quotes. On Brothers & Sisters, her role will be to make one of the characters comfortable, not uncomfortable.
With Kitty's cancer battle intensifying (don't miss the final Brothers & Sisters scenes of the calendar year this coming Sunday night), Kitty needs all the help she can get.
Well, Calista Flockhart's cancer-suffering character has a longtime best friend we haven't met until now. Cheryl Hines has been cast in the role of Buffy early in 2010.
Expect the character to help Kitty transition into the next phase of her life, according to TV Guide. Sounds like Kitty's battle - and this week's episode - will be intense.

The Birthday Boys and Girls of 11/11
1821 Fyodor Dostoevsky, legendary Russian author of Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov fame. So many movies inspired by his work. But he's not the legendary Russian author that'll be getting all the press this next couple of months. That'd be Leo Tolstoy, soon to be chattered about when The Last Station emerges as an Oscar contender.
1887 Roland Young, popular 30s and 40s character actor (Topper, The Philadelphia Story, Ruggles of Red Gap)
1898 René Clair, (pictured left), wonderful French writer/director. If you've never seen Le Million I urge you to rent it maintenant. His Oscar nominated films include The Gates of Paris (1957) and À nous la liberté (1931)
1899 Pat O'Brien --Ewwww, not that one people -- the actor! whose film career stretches alllllll the way from the 1931 classic The Front Page to 1981's Ragtime.
1901 Sam Spiegel, powerful producer. Boy was he on fire in »
