Lowe talks 'Brothers & Sisters' season four

Rob Lowe has spoken out about the upcoming season of Brothers & Sisters.

The actor, who plays US Senator Robert McCallister on the ABC series, said that last year's plotlines between he and Calista Flockhart's Kitty Walker were "the study of a disintegration of a marriage", The AP reports.

The 45-year-old's character suffered a heart attack during the third season. Flockhart's role saw her almost cheat on Robert after they adopted a baby. The pair then separated during the season finale.

He said: "Last season was the study of a disintegration of a marriage and we begin this year worlds apart."

A recent fourth season promotional video shows Kitty being attended to by a doctor (Amy Aquino), who informs her that medical test results she has undergone have yielded bad news.

Lowe hinted that this story arc will lead to a possible reconciliation for the characters.

He added: "It's going to be what they needed to try to put the pieces back together... and [it's] pretty romantic."

The fourth season of Brothers & Sisters will premiere Sunday, September 27 on ABC.
