The cast of Jessica Biel's TV drama 7Th Heaven reunited on Tuesday (16Sep14) for the first time in eight years.

The actress joined her TV siblings Beverley Mitchell, Barry Watson and David Gallagher and their fictional parents, played by Stephen Collins and Catherine Hicks, to catch up with one another over dinner.

However, there was one member of the show who was visibly absent - Mackenzie Rosman was unable to attend.

Collins shared a photo of the group back together again on Twitter.com, alongside the message, "1st time in 8 yrs Joy, laughs!".

Mitchell, who is pregnant with her second child, also posted a snap of the reunion on her WhoSay.com page, writing, "Something truly amazing happened last night and my heart is overflowing! Love these peeps more than I can ever explain! We were just missing Mack!

"Feeling so incredibly blessed to have these incredible people in my life!!! #theresnothinglikefamily #7thheaven #love #blessed (sic)."

The show, about Protestant minister's family, aired from 1996 until 2007.
