‘The Family’: Why Is Andrew McCarthy in the Hospital?! (VIDEO)
When it comes to The Family, secrets and lies are par for the course.
On the March 27 episode of the ABC drama, Hank Asher (Andrew McCarthy), the sex offender neighbor who was jailed for Adam’s (Liam James) kidnapping and killing, lies in a hospital bed. Bruised and bloodied, Asher is clearly still woozy from meds…but not that woozy to avoid pointing fingers at the person who left him in the ER. Of course, it’s convenient that Nina (Margot Bingham) is next to him to hear his surprising (or maybe not so surprising) accusation.
McCarthy, best known for his roles in classic ’80s movies like Pretty in Pink and Weekend at Bernie’s, also directed this episode (“I Win”), which sees the paternity results for Adam being confirmed, plus details revealed of how Nina began her affair with John (Rupert Graves).
Watch the exclusive clip below to see Asher’s interaction with Nina.

This could be the best show on TV that no one is watching. The story is interesting, the acting is great, but the ratings are pathetic. Good thing it's only a limited series because it would never be renewed.

Guilty as charged! I meant to watch this, but haven't started yet. I'm sure I'll eventually get around to it.

I'm enjoying it, I hope it ends with some sort of reveal/solution/closure at the end of the season/series, though. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about investing all those weeks in American Crime to have it end as it did.

I hated the way American Crime ended, but this one has promised to reveal who did what and not leave us hanging. I certainly hope so.

You better close your eyes and ears as it comes to a close then because it's full of twists and turns and surprises that you're better off not knowing ahead of time.

Thanks for the warning.
It's funny, though. That kind of info generally doesn't lessen my enjoyment of a show when I watch it a day or three later; e.g., by the time I get around to watching Idol, I know which Idolettes have been booted. (I'm not one of those who would ever whine and complain about people posting "spoilers" when I'm the one who didn't watch the show when it aired.) If I start watching a show months or years later, I'll have forgotten pretty much any spoiler-y thing I read, anyway.
But it does matter to me for other shows, like Survivor, which I also watch time-shifted, but on the night it airs. Living in L.A., I make it a point to stay off social media and entertainment sites in the early evening so I don't accidentally see the results.
Back when Survivor first started, one of my co-workers would go home, log in to AOL (!) to see who was evicted, then watch the show as it aired on the west coast. lol For me, that totally spoils the suspense of tribal council.

Well, I don't mind learning who got booted on a reality show as much as I hate hearing who committed the crime ahead of time especially in a show where it really is a mystery up to the last minute.

It says right on the clip that it's on Sunday...not Wednesday. My listings still show that too.
