OVER: “B & S' Producer reflects on Kevin and Scotty and the end of the show!

TV/Line talked to Brothers & Sisters executive producer David Marshall Grant about ABC’s cancellation of the show after five years.


Here’s what he had to say about on-screen couple Kevin and Scotty (Matthew Rhys and Luke Macfarlane) and the storyline that would have been ahead for them had there been a season six: “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.”

On why the show, which still had a strong fan base, was canceled: “It really ends up being a budgetary situation,” Grant said. “Our show was very expensive to produce and there are ways that we were saving money along the years. I think that there was an attempt to find a way to hit that magic number that [ABC] could produce the show at. And I think they just finally were unable to do it.”
