Michael Ausiello has a ton of information about cast changes for the fall:

The big, bad news is that Brothers & Sisters is already re-casting. Didn't they already re-shoot the pilot after test audiences failed to respond to Calista Flockhart? If so, then this will be their third. Can that be right? In any case, Betty Buckley is out as the matriarch. This reminds me of Eight Is Enough, since Buckley joined that show to sort of replace Diana Hyland, who appeared in only the pilot of that show, before dying. (Mark Hamill played the Grant Goodeve role in that episode and I think one of the other kids was different, too, for what it's worth.) Also out is Jonathan LaPaglia, who looks strangely hot in this strangely photoshopped promotional photo:

Doesn't it look like he and Dave Annable are sharing a dirty secret?
Also according to Ausiello, Lost's producers are looking to replace the hot chicks they keep killing off. Funny, because Lost is one of the places I thought would be a good fit for Amy Acker. My other idea is for her to show on Veronica Mars as a member of the Fitzpatrick gang. (My idea for David Anders: a love interest for John Barrowman on the upcoming Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood.)
