Chyler Leigh cast in NBC comedy pilot about group of plane crash survivors

Chyler Leigh has landed her first major TV gig since checking out of Grey’s Anatomy last May, scoring one of the lead roles in NBC’s comedy pilot Holding Patterns.

From Office scribe Justin Spitzer, Holding Patterns is a multi-cam ensemble about a group of friends whose lives are altered after surviving a plane crash — ironic considering it was an air disaster that claimed the life of Leigh’s Grey’s character, Lexie.

Rachel Kaplan (Do No Harm) and Peter Traugott (Samantha Who?) are also attached as EPs.

when i first read the summary of Go On i also thought wtf, but it's actually one of my favourite comedies now. let's see how this turns out.

She deserves better than this awful concept.

This makes me miss "Reunion"

Will forever hate and be bitter towards Fox for not even letting Reunion finish it's 13 episodes...

I don't understand how any plane crash scenario can be funny.
smelltheflowers 27th-Feb-2013 05:19 pm (UTC)
How is this a funny concept for a comedy series? Does not compute.

Why did she decide to leave Grey's Anatomy if she was immediately planning on entering into another potentially long-running series? Was it because she was tired of playing Lexie Grey or was there another reason? I'm just curious.
gomezxhenrie 27th-Feb-2013 05:26 pm (UTC)
I think I remember reading something about how she thought it was time for Lexie to leave and talked with Shonda and they planned her exit.
smelltheflowers 27th-Feb-2013 05:31 pm (UTC)
Ah, I see. Thanks :)

I always assumed that it was because being on a long-running series can be gruelling and so she was either looking for a little time off or wanted to branch out and try something new with a different schedule, like a film.
hewontgo 27th-Feb-2013 05:47 pm (UTC)
i read that she left because Shonda wanted to introduce an abortion storyline with her character

NBC's really grasping @ straws here to replace 30 Rock and The Office

It makes more sense in my mind of it was a near miss turbulence thing because when I hear plane crash I think JAL 123.

But it's NBC so it won't last.

I own this movie on DVD and yet I still can't not watch it start to finish when it is on TV.

FLAWLESS MOVIE.

I watched this with some friends well over a decade ago when we were snowed in for four days. We laughed our asses off to this movie.

So...Lost?
prophecypro 27th-Feb-2013 05:40 pm (UTC)
Its randomness and Chyler Leigh has me interested.
numbedtoe 27th-Feb-2013 06:02 pm (UTC)
This just sounds all kinds of fail to me. Like Chyler but wtf?
