Lowe quits Brothers & Sisters

Rob Lowe is leaving TV’s “Brothers & Sisters” after four seasons.

Lowe, who plays (Calista’s Flockhart’s on-screen love interest) Sen. Robert McCallister on the series, was bought in to help punch up ratings on the then-struggling series. After four years though, the former Brat Packer believes his character’s got nowhere else to go but the door with the illuminated exit sign.

As The Hollywood Reporter states, Lowe’s exit from “Brothers” isn’t near as dramatic as his departure from “The West Wing” a few years back. You’ll recall that Lowe gave the hit political series the birdie after a pay dispute, only making amends with the network producers just in time for a final-season guest appearance.

Just as he did when he left “The West Wing” (remember “Dr Vegas”? “The Lion’s Den”? Nah, didn’t think so) Lowe may end up on his own show.

"We would like to keep Rob at ABC," the network’s entertainment president Steve McPherson said in a statement. "We feel he should be anchoring his own franchise. We are in talks now."

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

right when i was getting into the show and loving it

him and Kitty are probaby going to divorce now, since she wants to run for Senate and didnt tell him (storyline)

this sucks...i love him and Kitty almost as much as the gay couple.

thats sad, i liked him on there. heres hoping that cutie she was crushin on awhile ago comes back.

He wasn't needed anymore, he was just at that stage where he was too pointless.
