Brothers & Sisters (2006 — 2011)
The series revolves around the lives and problems of the wealthy Walker family in the wake of the death of family patriarch William Walker, the founder of the family business Ojai Foods. The family consists of wife and mother Nora Walker who must deal with revelations about her husband’s infidelity, and her children Sarah and Tommy, both married executives at Ojai Foods, Kitty, a conservative activist, Kevin, a gay lawyer, and youngest sibling Justin, who has recently returned from the Afghan War with a substance abuse problem. They were joined by Scotty – Kevin’s boyfriend and later husband – and Nora’s brother Saul and Holly Harper, William’s mistress. Plotlines typically revolved around the romantic relationships of the family, their business fortunes, especially with regard to the control of Ojai Foods, and the relationship between the siblings. Most conflicts were resolved with a renewed call for family unity and a lot of wine.
The show’s narrative launched with the death of William Walker at Kitty’s birthday party. His death causes a number of secrets from his life to be revealed—secrets that impact the remainder of his family and which include the introduction of William’s mistress Holly Harper and her daughter Rebecca. Other main storylines throughout the series include the personal, political (usually through Robert and Kitty’s and later Kevin’s careers) and professional lives of Nora and all the brothers and sisters; their relationships with each other; interaction with Rebecca and her mother (William’s mistress) Holly; and the running of the family business Ojai Foods—which is mostly looked after by Saul, Sarah and Tommy along with Holly and Rebecca from season 3 onwards.
