Calista Flockhart’s new ABC family soap "Brothers & Sisters" is spawning its own real-life drama. The show, which also stars Rachel Griffiths, was given a makeover last month when Sally Field replaced Betty Buckley, who had played the family matriarch in the pilot. Additionally, Matthew Rhys was hired to play one of the brothers, replacing Jonathan LaPaglia.In the latest development, Marti Noxon officially exited as executive producer/showrunner Tuesday after weeks of rumblings about friction with the series’ creator, Jon Robin Baitz."Brothers & Sisters" is expected to continue production as scheduled, with filming on the fourth episode slated to begin Wednesday. It will debut in the fall, in the coveted Sunday 10 p.m. slot behind "Desperate Housewives."

These are all signs the show will most likely not make it to midseason. Even with the coveted post-DH slot it will probaly only last through November sweeps.
