A "Parenthood" fave is making her way back to the NBC drama after a lengthy absence. TVLine has learned exclusively that Sarah Ramos is set to reprise her role as Adam and Kristina’s eldest daughter Haddie later this season.

Ramos was taken off contract at "Parenthood" at the end of the show’s third season as her character transitioned to college, although Haddie recurred throughout Season 4 to lend support to her cancer-stricken mom.

Her one-episode comeback in the Season 5 finale will mark her first appearance in a year.

Haddie is Returning to "Parenthood" for Series Finale
Dec. 1, 2014


Haddie (Sarah Ramos) will return to "Parenthood" for the series finale, a rep for the show confirmed to BuzzFeed News.

The oldest child of Adam (Peter Krause) and Kristina (Monica Potter) Braverman has been largely absent from the series since she left for college in the Season 4 premiere.

Though Haddie did make appearances via video chat from Cornell and returned home in the midst of her mother’s battle with breast cancer, she hasn’t been a series regular for the past three seasons.





In "Parenthood’s" Season 5 finale, Haddie returned to Berkeley from Cornell with Lauren (Tavi Gevinson), her “super-awesome best friend,” in tow. During the episode, Haddie’s younger brother Max (Max Burkholder) saw her kissing Lauren, told Kristina, and eventually, Haddie told her mom and dad that she and Lauren were dating.

When "Parenthood" was renewed for a sixth season, many hoped Haddie’s storyline — she’s the first central LGBTQ character to be featured on "Parenthood" — would be explored more deeply.

And though Haddie did return briefly in the Season 6 premiere to help her parents put the final touches on the school they opened for Max, she didn’t get much screen time and hasn’t been on the show since. (It was assumed she was headed to France for a study abroad program.)





NBC could not offer any additional information as to what leads to Haddie’s return in the series finale, but it could have something to do with a death in the extended Braverman family.

Before the show was picked up for a sixth and final season, reator Jason Katims told BuzzFeed News, if given the chance, he would like the final season to tackle the “circle of life.”

Most of "Parenthood’s" emotional final season has centered around the declining health of Braverman patriarch Zeek (Craig T. Nelson) — the mid-season finale ended with Zeek being rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night.
