I used to love this show and still watch it in re-runs in my area. Well, seems that the dad Eric, Stephen Collins is a child molester! Was so surprised to hear this. TMZ reported his ex-wife recorded him admitting it, etc. Another ugly divorce with nastiness coming out. I remember her, Faye Grant in one of the episodes. She played Abbie who was coming on to him!

We read TMZ at the same time! I never thought he would do something like this. I guess I thought he was like the character he played.

Hi, makeup addict. I was looking at links and just saw that Sarah, the girl who played Matt's wife on the show passed away in Sept. of natural causes. So sad.

This is still under investigation, from what I read in other sources, and I am so saddened to hear that it is even a possibility. I loved his character in 7th Heaven, and liked him recently in Revolution as well. It makes me sick to my stomach to think that it could be true, but will let the investigation take it's course before I decide if I can watch his work anymore without feeling ill.

You just don't ever know...

If true I hope he is prosecuted. He should not be allowed around underage children until then.

Wow, that's disappointing. I liked the show, and his character, too, but actually "discovered" Stephen Collins many years before that in a movie called The Promise with Kathleen Quinlan. If his admission is true, I agree that he needs to be prosecuted and not allowed to be around children.

WOW! You just never know the real person behind the acting persona..... what a creep.

I was just so shocked by this but it just goes to show you that you cannot trust anyone!! It is beyond unconscionable he was such a revered actor and then to be a person that is the scum of the earth, well that is just sad!! And to portray clergy??? SICK!!
