Love Interest Check-Up: Sarah
It’s Saturday night — date night, for some — so let’s finish our check-ups of Sarah and family with a look at the eldest Walker sister’s love interests, present and (dare we hope) past/future.
Graham
The slick business consultant started working with Ojai Foods, and working on Sarah to date him, early in Season 2. It looked like the two of them might hook up on an overnight business trip to San Francisco, but he took her word that she wasn’t interested and made other plans. Still, in the last episode before the break, the combination of divorce papers and drunk karaoke finally lowered Sarah’s defenses sufficiently to allow a one-nighter. Prognosis: Steven Weber is doing a sit-com pilot for NBC, which means Graham’s likely to be a passing fling. Still, his consultant gig means that the guy could reasonably return from time to time if Ojai’s expanding or Sarah needs to have some fun. He’s supposedly got a woman in every town, right?
Noah
The former co-worker of whom Sarah said “Being in synch with a man who’s not your husband, is almost as bad as not being in synch with your husband” was presumably the reason she left that job and came to work in the family business. We haven’t seen him since early in Season 1, when any storyline involving the two of them was lost in the re-shuffle. Now that Sarah’s through with Joe, though, couldn’t she look that old pal up again? They only had a couple of scenes, but Rachel Griffiths and Michael Beach definitely had some chemistry going. Prognosis: As I mentioned in Sarah’s profile, I’d like to see Sarah sow some wild oats and get her confidence back before she slides right into another relationship. But when she does, I’ll vote for it being Noah she gets involved with. And our votes count, right, writers? Right? Right?

Team Noah! But you’re right, Terri, timing is everything. Wasn’t Noah married? I wouldn’t want Sarah to be a homewrecker. When they’re both free, I would love to see them together.

I agree with Colleen. I liked Noah, but not if hooking them up will make Sarah look bad.
I am not sure that I would be sad to see Graham go. I had very mixed feelings about him and I really felt that he was going to hurt Sarah either emotionally or financially.

I do seem to recall that Noah was married, and I certainly agree that I would want that marriage to be over before he and Sarah get together. Seems like his marriage wasn’t on such firm footing either, so it’s not inconceivable that he would be free now too.
