Gage Golightly cast as the lead in CW pilot, "Company Town"

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Many Teen Wolf fans were disappointed when they heard that Gage Golightly (Erica) would not be returning to the show for season 3. However, we can still expect to see the actress on our screens as the lead in Company Town.

The news of Golightly’s departure came to us back in January, much to the disappointment of fans, who had truly begun to enjoy the character and wanted to see what the future held for her.

While we don’t know Erica’s fate in Teen Wolf (though we wouldn’t put it past the writers to make it a tragic one), we do know that the actress has moved on and landed the lead role in the pilot for the new CW show Company Town.

According to Deadline, Golightly will be playing Krista, someone who, “always lived a charmed life and is happily engaged to Paul, a lieutenant in the Navy.” The show centers on, “the aftermath of a scandal at a Naval base in Virginia, which touches the lives of both civilians and military personnel in the area.” Krista and her former best friend Page, “now are on opposite sides of the Townie/Military divide.” Krista’s life is turned upside when her fiancee gets involved with the scandal that rocks the town.

Yay for her! I still wish she was on Teen Wolf, though, because I love Gage/Erica.

Gage has a lead role though and Colton's probably got way more screen time in Arrow. They weren't really utilised much on Teen Woof as much as I loved them both.
smokesinatra 17th-Feb-2013 10:13 pm (UTC)
man, but sinqua's used even less than gage and he's gone on to do more than one show at a time... no reason to abandon ship imo.

w/e I'm just pouting bc I didn't want erica to leave lol

Yeah, I don't get why people think it's such a step down. Teen Wolf is a teen show on MTV, not Breaking Bad. A lead role on The CW is better then a supporting/recurring role on MTV.

Same for Colton. He may only recur on Arrow, but Jackson is nothing compared to a role like Roy Harper. With a role like that, he could end up doing conventions for the rest of his life. And eventually I'm sure he'll become a regular and get payed/work more than he did/would have on Teen Wolf.

the CW it technically a network and reaches more people than MTV on average. It's not like anyone outside of tumblr knows anybody on Teen Wolf lol
luesietjuh 17th-Feb-2013 10:05 pm (UTC)
I will miss you Gage, I hope the new ladies are just as kick ass I hate losing great women from a show.
ptr28 17th-Feb-2013 10:06 pm (UTC)
good for her
gonna miss her on TW tho
smolderhotter 17th-Feb-2013 10:06 pm (UTC)
Can someone explain to me why when I was trying to post this exact thing yesterday, and today, it said something about being bad content or sth


lol
klutzy_girl 17th-Feb-2013 10:07 pm (UTC)
Deadline is banned all across LJ. And I've waited for two freaking days for another site to finally post it and it happened! I was thrilled.
smolderhotter 17th-Feb-2013 10:08 pm (UTC)
ooh!!! now it makes sense lol

why is it banned tho? xD
smokesinatra 17th-Feb-2013 10:08 pm (UTC)
maybe your formatting was wonky, they coulda meant that?? idk bb :(
smolderhotter 17th-Feb-2013 10:07 pm (UTC)
also everyone go join ontdteenwolf xD
smokesinatra 17th-Feb-2013 10:07 pm (UTC)
also apparently colton's first episode of arrow is this wednesday

thinking about streaming it, but I kind of hate him, so... idk...
luesietjuh 17th-Feb-2013 10:13 pm (UTC)
Any time he is mentioned here everyone's all RACIST ASSHOLE... and everyone on tumblr is up on his dick.
smokesinatra 17th-Feb-2013 10:14 pm (UTC)
I don't loathe him or anything but he was one of my least favorites on tw tbh. I don't even think he's cute
maryaminx 17th-Feb-2013 10:23 pm (UTC)
I'm so used to a lot of celebrities being racist/homophobic/etc shitheads that I can't really work up any rage, but I'm mostly meh about him anyway.

The only thing that annoys me is that he jumped ship in a shitty way.
astrofisica 17th-Feb-2013 10:07 pm (UTC)
I'm gonna miss Erica. :(
sparkysparky 17th-Feb-2013 10:11 pm (UTC)
Good for her! hate to lose Erica though, and this me show doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in. :(
smokesinatra 17th-Feb-2013 10:11 pm (UTC)
also her getting cast in this means she left teen woof with the intention of booking a gig during pilot season which seems like a really risky/dumb move?? what if she jumped the tw ship and then didn't get cast in shit for pilot season??

surely making that kind of risk means she was unhappy with teen woof for whatever reason. I wanna know... they seem like such a jolly bunch, lol

She also has a movie coming out in 2013 with a somewhat credible director. So I could see why she would want to move on to a starring role instead of just being stuck in a recurring role.
mrsdracula 17th-Feb-2013 10:13 pm (UTC)
Good for her.
morgan90 17th-Feb-2013 10:14 pm (UTC)
Seems kind of like a stagnant move to go from MTV to the CW, but seeing as they renew their shows far past their expiration date, at least she has job security
ivysaur 17th-Feb-2013 10:26 pm (UTC)
Not necessarily. The CW usually goes to extremes in general- either a show gets canceled in its first season, or it lasts far longer than it should.
luesietjuh 17th-Feb-2013 10:44 pm (UTC)
See: Supernatural...

(I love it, but really.)
classic_mold137 17th-Feb-2013 10:19 pm (UTC)
Glad she's getting work, but Erica was my favorite of Derek's betas :(
