Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer
Sometimes a show just ain't the same once one of its key characters dies, leaves or gets otherwise written out. Think of the outrage when Cameron (Jennifer Morrison) packed up her stethoscope and left House's Princeton Plainsboro — and Chase — in her rear-view. There's been a hole in the heart of Brothers & Sisters since Walker sibling Tommy (Balthazar Getty) lost his mind and fled South of the Border. And who among us doesn't miss the smart ties and whipsmart repartee of art director Sal Romano (Bryan Batt) on Mad Men? Don't even get us started on the revolving door at Grey's Anatomy's Seattle Grace Hospital.
So if you had the power of TV-character reanimation, who would you bring back?
I'll go first. I miss the way Weeds' Conrad (Romany Malco) and Heylia (Tonye Patano) were able to rein in Nancy's more egotistical flights of fancy.
Now you. Which character(s) would you bring back?

Balthazar Getty has publicly acknowledged that he and his wife, Rosetta, are splitting up. His public statement comes days after photos of him and a topless Sienna Miller surfaced across magazines and the 'net. The photos clearly document a "more than friends" type of dynamic, in which the pair are kicking back on a boat off the Amalfi coast.In a statement, the Brothers & Sisters actor said, "The breakdown of a marriage is a very difficult and painful experience, especially when children are involved. In light of the fact that many pictures have surfaced in print and on the Internet which has caused myself and my family great embarrassment, I felt it necessary to at least acknowledge publicly that yes, indeed, my wife and I have separated."Getty and his wife, who married in 2000, have four children together. — Anna Dimond

Balthazar Getty and Sarah Jane Morris in Brothers & Sisters by Scott Garfield/ABC
With the WGA strike still going strong, most prime-time favorites are entrenched in repeats. Lucky for us, ABC still has three more original episodes of Brothers & Sisters to broadcast before the Walker clan walks off into the night. As usual, there will be plenty of surprises when the show returns with fresh fare on Jan. 13. "Now that almost the entire family knows about Tommy's affair, it is only a matter of time before Julia will find out," says Sarah Jane Morris, who plays the two-timing winemaker's wife. "Julia will have some secrets of her own, though!" While those secrets may not come to fruition until the writers resume work again, there will be plenty of big reveals before then. "The [Jan. 13] episode is called 'Feast of the Epiphany,' but there may be some other characters dealing with epiphanies of their own," Morris teases with a laugh. "Get ready for another bomb-filled Walker dinner!" — Dana Meltzer ZepedaRelated:• Brothers & Sisters Cuts Baitz: "I Wa...

Episode Recap Something NewThere are some remarks only family can get away with saying Mom you slut is one of them While these are words that would never come out of my mouth they barely raise an eyebrow in the Walker household Truth be told their being uttered during a family discussion recalling what music was playing when they each lost their virginity took the sting out of such a declaration but it also goes to show the comfort level in this family This week we were in full wedding preparation mode with Kitty feeling that all planned elements for her big day were recycled From her dress to her first dance with Robert who of course had done this before She had a point so were happy that she found a perfect dress to wear instead of Noras outdated and oversized hand-me-down This also was a perfect moment for ABC to subtly remind viewers of the upcoming Dancing with the Stars finale by featuring a ballroom dancing sequence In

Episode Recap An American FamilyWelcome home Justin Yes while the show was still great last week having you back this week makes us realize how much we missed you And what a return With a busted knee and some scrapes Justin is due for a full recovery but its going to be a long haul for him since as a recovering addict he has refused to take any pain meds Justins physical pain may rival that of his journey of re-entry into a non-combat zone existence On a good day the Walkers can be overwhelming imagine that on top of coming home from war and this time as Justin reminds us hes not stoned Its a good thing we have the perfect senator around to provide the support that Justin may not be able to find in his immediate family The relationship between these two men has become one of my favorites on the show It makes sense that they have bonded given the senators own military history Without that closeness though Im sure I would have smirked

Episode Recap Home FrontAs Brothers and Sisters jumps into its second season its nice to see that the neurotic and argumentative Walkers are still just that The little quirks that made us love them last year are all back in full force They talk over one another pick at each other hold mini-grudges against each other get drunk together and they worry about each other Tonight it was the worrying that was at the crux of the show Justin still on active duty in Iraq has not been in touch for 21 days Is he okay Is he injured or worse Starting the show off with Nora recording a video message to her son was an effective way of catching us up with the family and keeping Justins off-screen character as much a part of the show as the rest of the family One of my favorite moments was just after Nora signed off and her game face immediately reverted back to the mask of concern that we know shes been wearing since that tearful airport good-bye in last seasons finale T
