Sarah Drew and Michelle Hurd cast as leads in "Cagney and Lacey" reboot

I will definitely watch this. Michelle was done dirty on Law&Order so hope this is good.

same.

What happened To her ?

Holy shit, Sarah! That was fast, and now I need to JCap to book a pilot too.

Anyway, I wasn't all that interested in this pilot before but I love both her and Michelle so now I'm in. Hopefully it'll be interesting and be picked up to series.

well, Jessica Capshaw probably doesn't need any money lol

True, but I want to see her in something new anyway.

I found April so annoying that it has clouded my judgement on Sarah Drew as a person lol. I will give it a chance.

THIS. Her character made me see her as annoying in real life and I feel bad because she was also an annoying chracter on Daria.

THIS

I also did not like her character in Everwood, so I think I'm forever bitter about her.

lmao same

Never seen GA, but she was SO annoying on Everwood. She reminded me of this annoying, frumpy, Christian, homeschooled girl I used to work with. She was also creepily like 25 playing 15. Maybe she is just annoying lol.

That girl sounds exactly like her GA character too, so that must be who she is as a person. She sounds unbearable.

UGH YES she explicitly asked for her character to be a christian, who can 'share her faith in a non-judgey way like all those other christians you see on tv who are just unfairly portrayed in the media.' FUCK OFF

“Before I can remember, beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is my dream,” Drew told FOX411. “And this is what I had been gifted with by God to do.”

“I ask God to remind me what I’m doing here on this planet,” she said. “For Him to take the chains off and remind me that my identify is not based on how many awards I win or positive reviews I receive. I’m already made as a masterpiece by the Creator of the universe. That is my hardest thing and I think that anybody would find that struggle in any profession."

How nice for her.

lol same. Though I did feel sorta bad for her on SVU when all those drunk popular kids were being mean to her (and banging her mom).

Michelle Hurd is still so pretty. That's about all I have to add.

Sarah is ridiculously talented so I'm happy she got a new job so quickly :)

She is though. She's been on Broadway, strong singing voice, was only supposed to be in a 2 episode arc in Grey's Anatomy but got promoted to a series regular, did a great job with April's more serious storylines, directed a mini-series etc, she is clearly very talented. Obviously Sandra Oh is in a league of her own though.

I love that Michelle Hurd is married to Burt Chance, I mean Garret Dillahunt.

I don't know that this is needed, but I'm always here for lady led shows.

SHE IS??

Man, I love these random connections

I had no idea! He's a great actor. He has great comedic timing but he can do scary just as well.

I had no idea! I enjoyed him on TMP.

daaamn they both have good taste haha

I had no idea he was married

Although I have literally never watched the original, I do know it starred ~women of a certain age~ and I’m glad they kept to that spirit.

no one is gonna watch this shit.

hahahahaha

Nope.

Could this be why she was fired? Because Shonda found out she was auditioning for pilots? Because that is crazy fast casting. Idk how Hollywood works ..maybe it’s normal to already be on a show and auditioning for pilots?

It seems more likely that CBS wanted to take advantage of all the press generated in the wake of the GA news and hired her afterwards.

Ia. As long as she was contracted as a series regular on Greys, she couldn't be a series regular on another show. It can happen, but it's incredibly rare.

I wouldn't be shocked, apparently she is BIG into loyalty

Doubt it; apparently Grey's is reworking its schedule to allow her to do the pilot, so I'm guessing this was just a quick hire on CBS's part

nah. pilot casting happen really fastbsince the networks have only like 4-5 weeks to cast 400+ roles for the pilots. so its not unusual that she got cast so fast. they might even have offered the role to her so she wouldn't need to to do any auditioning

I am actually vaguely interested in this? We'll see what the reviews are like.

I was trying to figure out where I know Michelle Hurd from, since she's been in a ton of stuff, but the answer? That's one secret I'll never tell.

lmao she was such a bitch on gg

ohhh ty, i was wondering why i associated her with being a bitch. i was like goddammit haha

christ why

if they're not gay in this version cbs can keep it

I'm ecstatic April will be leaving

I'm still mad. It's not Ellen's fault if they gave her a raise and now they need to trim down the cast but if they really wanted to do that they can start by getting rid of this dumb firefighting show that no one will watch. Or get rid of Maggie, no one likes Maggie!!!

No @ Maggie.
Trim the men, especially the white ones

lol aww, am I the only one who loves Maggie? The Jackson thing is irritating, but I like her in general.

Owen and Webber gotta go.

Hmm, no. I love Maggie. Get rid of Owen, Amelia and Jo instead. Even Deluca and his useless gf can go.

maggie is so cute

i hate the jackson relationship but it's not ha fault. all of the GA reddit hates maggie and it pains me. she's precious

but yeah FUCK that firefighting show. like literally what is the point

no one likes *fuckin' OWEN

Good for her, idc about April and I’ve pretty much actively disliked her since her whole bye I’m leaving for the army thing with Jackson so I’m happy she’s gone.
I feel like they’re gonna kill her tho lol mostly bc how else would they resolve her leaving jackson and her daughter behind?

Yeah, I really can't figure out how this is gonna work. The whole "Sofia lives on two coasts and also we never see her" thing is already pushing it; I can't imagine April would move far away from Jackson while Harriet's still a baby. But actually killing her would be super-shitty as well, given the stunning number of Seattle Grace Mercy Death employees who've already died unexpectedly and given that she has a kid. I mean, goddamn, does EVERY kid on this show have to lose a parent?? It's almost as if they didn't think this through in advance.
