Brothers and Sisters: Bloggers and Sisters

What'll It Be, WillC?

Yes, Mr. C, you were the first of many to correctly identify our old Ojai Foods sec as Gladys.  Yay, you.

So as promised, you can choose one item for the Writers Kitchen.  Naturally, you will not get to eat this item. But think of it as a modest way to impact Brothers & Sisters. 

Past kitchen items have included: Sun Chips, trail mix, Trader Joe's bananas -flattened, cottage cheese, kiwis, Sriracha sauce and Laughing Cow cheese. 

The Writers Kitchen consumes these at the rate of 5 packs a day.

My God --

Did you feel that earthquake?  Since last Tuesday's 5.4er, the computers have been down here on Stage 6.   Not only that, but the pre-teutonic tremors made writing blogs impossible for two weeks previous.  Fortunately, things are back to normal, though we're under orders to engage the blogosphere only with extreme caution.

After a month of Disney Lot quiet time, where seldom was heard a discouraging word, the Television Apparatus has roared back to life.  At Brothers & Sisters, this means the production of Episode 307, "Do You Believe In Magic?," written by Sherri Cooper-Landsman & Jennifer Levin, and directed by our very own Supervising Producer, Michael Morris. 

Here's a special and noteworthy fact about this episode: it features the wonderful actress Sonja Sohn, whom some of you may know from her outstanding work on The Wire.

Sonja Sohn, shown here as Detective Shakima Greggs on The Wire, is coming to Brothers & Sisters.  

It's been awfully strange not having everyone around the last month.  It did allow us writers to get a mess of work done on several episodes:

308 - "Going Once... Going Twice."   Written by Brian Studler & Beth Schwartz.  In this ep, which is hitting the table read circuit next week, Ojai Foods holds a 'slave-for-a-day' auction for its employees.  Uncle Saul is purchased by... Paige, who is on hand for Take Your Daughter To Work Day.  Hilarity ensues.

309 - "TBD."  Written by Nancy Won & Jason Wilborn.  This episode centers around the demolition of Nora's house.  Believe it or not, the Walker children are happy to help, until they find a famous teamster buried underneath. 

310 - "TBD."  Written by Monica Owusu-Breen & David Marshall Grant.     The entire Walker clan leaves town for a holiday... and forgets one member.  Can you guess which one?

311 - "TBD."  Written by Jennifer Levin & Molly Newman.  The episode will introduce a fabulous character into the Walkers' world, one that may remind you of Leon Trotsky, if he set socialism aside to become a gentleman farmer in 2008 Los Angeles.

And whose love interest might you be, Comrade?

Aside from all that, it's been business as usual.  Long hours.  Late nights.  Gearing up for softball season. 

Here's a trivia question for you:  what was the name of Ojai Foods' secretary in Season 1?  The first person to post the correct answer in a comment gets to pick one item for the Writers' Kitchen. 

Always your dear friend,
Dan
