What might have been

by Terri
David and Nora

Ah, David and Nora. If only their relationship had lasted a little longer, we would, at the very least, not have been forced to endure the misbegotten Professor Coyote story arc. According to a TV Guide interview with Treat Williams, there might have been more of a future for the contractor and the widow if he hadn’t gotten another job as a transplant surgeon on TNT’s Heartland:

TVGuide.com: Your visit to Brothers & Sisters [as a love interest for Sally Field's Nora] — was that something that could have turned out to be more? Or was it always closed-ended?

Williams: No, it could have been more, I suppose. [Everwood creator/B&S executive producer] Greg [Berlanti] said, “We’re just starting, could you come down and do four for me?” [On Everwood] he gave me some of the most beautiful work I’ve ever done, so I got to work with the gifted Sally Field… what a neat cast. Greg is one of the most loyal men I’ve ever worked with. They certainly have enough guy guys on that show, they didn’t need me. But I would have been very happy to [continue on] if Heartland hadn’t happened.

TVGuide.com: It could have been a funny moment if your Brothers & Sisters character had crossed paths with [Everwood alumna] Emily VanCamp’s Rebecca.

Williams: It would have been funny. A little double-take. “Don’t I…? Nah.
