Brothers & Sisters, In Love (Ewww)

On Brother’s & Sisters, Rebecca and Justin have been building up a season of sexual tension. It’s been building and building into what could be a delicious season finale resolution. The one problem with this scenario? Until this Sunday, Rebecca and Justin thought they were brother and sister (ewwwwwwwww). I think (and please correct me if I’m wrong), this is the first primetime TV show to ever dable with this level of incest (the twisted family tree on the OC not counting as Ryan was adopted and Marissa would only have been his step-aunt, as was Lindsey). So, edgy, yeah you can say that. I don’t think it was initially intentional, though. When Justin hit it off with his similar in age long lost half-sister, Rebecca, I don’t think the producers knew that actors David Annable and Emily VanCamp would end up dating and real-life, therefore bringing an unexpected chemistry to the small screen. Thankfully, they’ve decided to go with it and Rebecca and Justin just found out they do not share a father and they’re allowing the sparks to officially fly (and you don’t feel so dirty after every episode). They’re free to hit it, residual emotional scarring aside. Still, if they get married, the holidays should be interesting, but par for the course for the Walker clan.
