Late Breaking TV News: THE CW REVEALS CAST PLANS FOR 7TH HEAVEN'S 12TH SEASON

Stephen Collins and Catherine Hicks will be back as will a hearty storyline for Collins' character

LOCATION: The CW

 
THE SKINNY: It may be a new network but the CW is also made up of the best parts of UPN and the WB featuring returning skiens such as SMALLVILLE, SUPERNATURAL, THE GILMORE GIRLS and VERONICA MARS.
 
What's surprising though was the last minute reprieve of 7TH HEAVEN this Spring which had already aired its series finale and was picked up for a 12th season. At the CW's TCA event today, Dawn Ostroff, Entertainment President for the CW, discussed that last minute pick-up.
 
"It was one of the advantages of this being a joint venture between CBS and Warner Bros., Time Warner., because CBS Paramount had always produced 7TH HEAVEN for the WB," says Ostroff. "So everybody rolled up their sleeves from CBS, from Warner Bros., and [creator] Barbara Hampton, and it was a joint effort by everybody involved to make it work."
 
As for what's on tap for the new season and what cast shake-ups might happen, Ostroff does confirm that the show's patriarchs Stephen Collins and Catherine Hicks will be back.
 
"They will be regulars and Lucy [Beverley Mitchell] will be a regular," says Ostroff. "But what Brenda does so brilliantly is she brings people in and out a lot. And like any other family, as these children have grown up, they've moved on with their lives --- some are in school, some get married and move to other places."
 
Additionally, Collins character will also go through great turmoil during the course of the season.
 
"Stephen's character is going to have a life-threatening heart ailment which I think is going to be a real good storyline for him," says Ostroff.

I personally don't know what to think. First of all, I was sad yet relieved when 7th heaven ended. Although i am a loyal fan to the show. Enough is enough. With an 11th season coming up and david gallagher and mackenzie rosman gone, along with jessica biel, and barry watson, there isn't much of a story line for the next season. First of all, lucy losing the babies, eric's health declining... what are they going to do, kill ERIC!!! They should have just ended it after 10 seasons! Now people are all confused. And now are they going to say Sandy baby is really Simon's????

I think it's great, because 7th Heaven has been my favorite show ever since it started. I'm so glad that there's another season coming.
