Rob Lowe to Exit Brothers & Sisters

LOS ANGELES: Rob Lowe is leaving ABC’s Brothers & Sisters after four seasons on the show.

Lowe, who joined the show around episode ten, will leave after this season. Brothers & Sisters has been a strong performer for ABC in its Sunday night slot, regularly drawing in more than 10 million viewers per episode.

This is not the first time the actor has left a role of an ensemble cast. He exited The West Wing in 2003 to star in The Lyon’s Den, which was cancelled after six episodes.
