It has officially been confirmed that Rob Lowe will depart Brothers & Sisters at the end of the season. Lowe has expressed disappointment with the direction of his character, U.S. Sen. Robert McCallister’s, storyline and felt that he had been underutilized. As a result, ABC granted Lowe’s request to be released from his contract, but network President Steve McPherson says ABC would still like to keep Lowe on the air.
“We would like to keep Rob at ABC; we feel he should be anchoring his own franchise,” McPherson said. “We are in talks now.”
Lowe was brought onto the show in the middle of the first season and then became a series regular when his character married Kitty (Calista Flockhart).
