Saul Holden is a fictional character on the ABC television series Brothers & Sisters. He is played by actor Ron Rifkin.
Saul is Nora Walker's older brother, and works at Ojai Foods, the Walker family business. He has never been married. He was born on August 11, 1938, making him 72 years old.
Saul once dated Holly Harper (portrayed by Patricia Wettig) until he identified himself as homosexual. Saul had a relationship in Season 5 with a man named Jonathan (portrayed by Richard Chamberlain), who Saul said he loved despite the fact he might have been the one who infected him with HIV. Saul and Jonathan began to date in Season 5.
Saul and Nora are very close. He helped her when her husband died, and defended her from their mother's criticism at her birthday party.
Saul had a brief relationship with Holly Harper, William Walker's former mistress, following William's death. Although this briefly caused friction between Saul and Nora, Saul's feelings toward Holly were in fact ambiguous; it was never fully clear whether his intentions were romantic, platonic or business-related.
In the season finale, it was revealed that Saul once spent a romantic weekend in Key West with another man, an old friend named Milo who reappears at Kitty and Robert's engagement party after an absence of 20 years. He tells Saul that he has finally come out as gay. The exact nature of Saul's sexuality remained ambiguous, though the storyline was developed further in season two.
Early in the season, Saul acknowledged to his sister Nora that many years ago he was in love with a man.
Saul has often expressed regret for not starting a family of his own and that he is now too old to do so.
