Care to guess who’s been cast as Sally Field’s mom on Brothers & Sisters? Here’s a hint:
Sunday, Monday, Happy Days,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days,
Thursday, Friday, Happy Days,
Saturday, what a day,
Rockin’ all week with you.If you guessed Marion Cunningham Ross, you’re right! Although unconfirmed by ABC, sources tell me that Ross has landed the one-episode gig and will show up in February. Her character is described as “tough, obstinate, judgmental, direct and uncompromising.” Happy days, indeed!
And ABC has now confirmed the news with their own press release:
Beloved actress Marion Ross (Happy Days) will guest star as Nora and Sauls not-so-loving mother, Ida, who makes an unwelcome visit to celebrate a milestone in her daughters life in the hit freshman drama series, Brothers & Sisters. The episode, entitled Something Ida This Way Comes, will air Sunday, January 21 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
Definitely looking forward to this one. And I wonder if she is possibly committed to future episodes as well.
