Question Will Paul's relatives come visit The Hennessys?

Sorry but I don't think I've ever heard any mention of anyone from Paul's side of the family come to visit the family after Paul's death...why?

I don't know either, but I don't remember them being mentioned in the first season, like Cate's family was, which gives me the impression they weren't close with him, or his family.

Sad Paul's relatives

Hondarider, if that were the case, Paul's relatives must be pretty heartless people then.

They should at least try to bring in someone to represent Paul's side of the family like maybe have John's dear friend Henry Winkler to play Paul's older brother or something!

I'm not saying it's not disrespectful, but we still don't know anything about his family. We don't know how far that character's immediate family extends, and a distant relative would most likely come to pay their respects and leave, with an occassional visit, but not an extended stay.

Personally I would love to see Henry Winkler make a guest appearence, as a brother or a cousin. Henry Winkler is amongst my all-time favorite actors, and would be a great guest appearence. He's busy, with an upcoming sitcom, however, and may not be able to make an appearence, if he wanted to.

I don't understand that Cate's family is staying with the Hennessey's instead of Paul's family.

I think they just want to focus on Cate and how she's coping,but I think they should include a niece for Paul's side of the family...the equivelent of Cate's nephew CJ.

I think they should have Julie Hagerty as his sister,Henry Winkler shoud be his older brother,and Penny Marshall as his oldest sister. In Cate's family they should introduce a brother(Ed O'Neill),and and bring back Cybill Shepard as Maggie...

Talking I Love the Casting!

katefandream04 I love your casting to play John's siblings! They should really consider this! Just having Henry Winkler to play Paul's older brother would be really awesome and having Paul's visiting neice that is like a female version of C.P. sounds pretty good too! They should really consider this for a holiday ep. like ThanksGiving Day, or something. I also love your avatar pic. The pic is from a scene of Chance of a Lifetime! that's a really great movie & both John & Kate were great in that! I also want to say that recently sent you a private message to you!

Default Henry Winkler

On September 11, 2003 The Day John Collapased on the set, and later sadly died. Herny was there working with a speech coach (If I remember correctly) with script for the taping of that weeks show, I know he was guest starring, but not sure if he was playing Paul's brother or what. I hope they do bring him on the show as Paul's brother or something maybe as a recurring guest...I think that the cast is good now and adding any more full time charcters would be harmful to ratings, etc. also I think it would be nice for Amy and Jason Ritter to appear in the as Family Friends or cousins or something...Just a thought in Honor of John

I believe he was set to play a co-worker, the new editor I think I read. He is currently busy frequently guest starring on 'Arrested Development' and has a new sitcom coming out called 'Beverly Hills SUV' so he may not be available. I think he's not exactly interested in guest starring either, although I haven't heard any direct quotes about it.
