Rarely have I seen a double-punch of bad news like this for the cast of a TV series

First this on September 27th:

'7th Heaven’ actress Sarah Goldberg dies in sleep at age 40


and then Stephen Collins:

Stephen Collins, pastor-dad in ‘7th Heaven,’ admits to sexually abusing underage girl, exposing himself to 2 others


Collins' playing a role-model dad on a Christian-directed family show just piles on the irony.
Before this is over, Stephen Collins just might wish he died in his sleep.

Or maybe he'll just fly over to Europe and hang out with Roman Polanski.
