While his character on Brothers and Sisters got stuck with an engagement and a trip to medical school, actor Dave Annable doesn’t mind the extra work so much. Two storylines for the new season is simply even more drama for the show, which is a pretty sweet deal.
On his interview with TV Guide, the 30-year-old star revealed how his character develops throughout the course of the series. With his decision to pursue his doctor dream, there’s bound to be some conflicts rising as he works on his relationship with Rebecca (Emily VanCamp).
“We’re really trying to tell the truth of how chaotic his life has become,” Annable told the publication. “Justin gets very frustrated — he doesn’t know where to allot his time. The relationship has suffered from the lack of time that they have spent together. For Rebecca, the wedding is such a special moment in their lives, and obviously for Justin his attention is somewhere else.”
It’s time that’s getting in the way of their growth as a couple, but certainly not effort. “So Rebecca feels that maybe Justin isn’t giving it everything he’s got,” the actor went on. “But he actually is; that’s the sad part of it. He’s just too busy and is having a difficult time dealing with it.”
Part of being busy was not making it on time for the engagement bash we saw on the premiere of Brothers and Sisters. “Justin is actually so stressed with school that he really doesn’t even have time for the engagement party. He shows up late and that becomes another issue with Rebecca.”
Despite that, there’s still the bright side of having a 16-year-old prodigy for a lab partner in med school. Annable says of Denzel Whitaker’s character: “The character is like Doogie Howser; he is so ahead of his time. He wants to be the youngest guy to do everything, so he’s put a lot of pressure on Justin. I think it takes Justin by surprise, but it also makes him want to work that much harder. Eventually it’s going to be a symbiotic relationship. They learn from each other.”
Still, another Walker wedding might not be far for Justin and Rebecca. “If the writers end up going down that road, hopefully it will be something special and something fans of our show will remember for a long time.”
