The French Stays in the Picture

Handsome news, Brothers & Sisters fans: Gilles Marini is not going anywhere.

The actor, who plays Sarah’s (Rachel Griffiths) French beau Luc, will be back on the show next season as a full-time series regular. (Boyfriend did win the immigration lottery last Sunday, after all.)

The show is gaining a stud (I met him last fall – trust me, the guy is all that and a bag of potato chips)…but losing a couple of others.

As we all know, Rob Lowe is leaving the Walker clan at the end of this season (to join Parks and Recreation next fall), and now Luke Grimes, a.k.a. Ryan, the little-seen-this-year Walker half-brother, will follow suit.
