McCormack and Olsen to Join BROTHERS & SISTERS

In case you were startled by the headline, I’m happy to say that former BRADY BUNCH star Maureen McCormack will not be joining the cast of BROTHERS & SISTERS.  Neither will either of the Olsen twins. Now that we have that cleared up, I will tell you that Will McCormack and Eric Christian Olsen will be joining the cast in recurring roles next season.

According to The Hollywood Reporter McCormack and Olsen will play new business associates of Sarah (Rachel Griffiths), and one of them — the show’s producers wouldn’t say which — is being groomed as a potential love interest for her.

While we welcome Eric and Will to the show, the casting news we are all really waiting on is who is going to play new brother Ryan Walker.  No news yet from that department.  I’ve heard some rumors, but to be honest with you, the names I heard (Gregory Smith, Jason Dohring, etc) were more wishful thinking of behalf of fans.
