The executive producer of Brothers & Sisters has dismissed claims that Rebecca (Emily VanCamp) and Justin (Dave Annable) are about to split up.

David Marshall Grant told Entertainment Weekly that the couple will face challenges in their relationship but are otherwise happy together.

“They both have competing future possibilities in front of them that would necessitate a geographical split,” he explained.

“It’s not a trial separation that involves an emotional schism. It just involves the fact that they would have to be in two different places for their work. They’re in good shape otherwise.”
