Brothers & Sisters: What's next for Kevin and Scotty?

Now we know why Eric Winter sought out another series!

This spoiler comes from the terrific Televisionista site: Kevin Walker (Matthew Rhys) and Scotty Wandel (Luke MacFarlane) are not only still on when original episodes of "Brothers & Sisters" resume next month, but they may take their relationship to the next level.

In the April 27 episode titled "Double Negative" (the second of four all-new post-strike episodes), Scotty is experiencing financial problems (what else is new?).Kevin suggests creating domestic partnership which would, according to California law, allow Scotty to get insurance coverage and other benefits from Kevin's firm.

Scotty may be broke but he's apparently not too excited about the idea, and Kevin is clueless as to why.

Stay tuned!!!
