‘7th Heaven’: Catherine Hicks Forgives Stephen Collins After Scandal & Wants Reunion

‘7th Heaven’ mom Catherine Hicks is changing her tune! In a shocking new interview, the actress forgives onscreen husband Stephen Collins after he confessed to sexually abusing underage girls. She’s even willing to do a TV reunion with him!

“I have no opinion on Stephen’s culpability or not,” Catherine Hicks told TMZ in a video. “We were surprised, but we all love each other. We really, god, worked altogether beautifully, and if they did do a reunion, I’d just be happy to show up and see everyone, Stephen included. It was never an issue on our show. It’s just sort of another chapter, I think, to his life, I think, before we started 7th Heaven. Therefore, it’s not a current issue, so being together and resuming our characters would be fine, ’cause the show is based on forgiveness, nonjudgmentalism, humility, all the values that sort of make up a particular brand of faith.”

His shocking past rocked fans 7th Heaven fans to their core.

When Catherine was asked in Sept. 2016 about the possibility of a reunion with Stephen, she joked that she’d be up for it if Stephen’s character was dead! Yikes! Catherine wanted to see her character, Annie Camden, get a boyfriend! Well, now Catherine has decided to forgive Stephen for his sins. Like 7th Heaven taught us, there’s always room in our hearts for forgiveness.
