DIRTY SEXY MONEY (ABC)

STATUS:

currently in development (2007-2008 season)

DEVELOPMENT STAGE:

ordered to pilot

DESCRIPTION:

Power, privilege and family money are a volatile cocktail. Living proof: The Darlings of New York City, so absurdly wealthy they put the "upper" in Upper East Side. This preeminent family's five spoiled adult brats one of them a Presidential candidate are always getting mixed up with the wrong people, including freeloading spouses, illegal immigrants and transvestite hookers. It will take a miracle to keep this Kennedy-esque clan out of the tabloids and out of jail. That miracle comes in the form of Nick George. As a boy, Nick watched his father surrender his freedom and family as the Darling's trusted consigliere. Burned by his own boyhood encounters with the family, Nick did a 180 and became a lawyer for the disadvantaged. But the passing of his dad thrusts the daunting responsibility of protecting the Darlings' secrets onto Nick. When the family's patriarch offers him an ungodly salary, Nick isn't sure if it's the chance of a lifetime - or a life sentence. In no time, he finds himself racing to plead with cops, hush the tabloids and furiously try to wipe the mud off the esteemed Darling reputation. With new disasters every week, hopefully Nick has the stamina for a marathon.

Three-time Emmy® nominee Peter Krause, Emmy® winner Donald Sutherland, and two-time Oscar® nominee Jill Clayburgh star in this younger, sexier, redheaded stepchild of Dallas and Dynasty. Emmy® and Pulitzer® nominated Craig Wright ("Brothers & Sisters," "Lost," "Six Feet Under") and executive producer Greg Berlanti ("Brothers & Sisters," "Everwood") use over-the-top situations and razor-sharp satire to illustrate how scads of money can create a great American family... and demolish it.

CAST INFORMATION:

· Donald Sutherland as Tripp Darling

· Jill Clayburgh as Letitia Darling

· Natalie Zea ("Passions," "Eyes") as Karen Darling

· Seth Gabel ("Nip/Tuck") as Jeremy Darling

· Glenn Fitzgerald as Brian Darling

· Samaire Armstrong ("Entourage") as Juliet Darling

· William Baldwin as Senator Patrick Darling

· Peter Krause ("Six Feet Under") as Nick George

· Zoe McLellan ("JAG") as Lisa George

· Laz Alonso ("Stomp The Yard") as Colin Davidson

· Victoria Pratt as Naomi Leeds

I really really am hoping that it gets picked up!

I think it has a great shot because of the cast, I mean Donald Sutherland & Jill Clayburgh as the matriarch and patriarch? That's big

I agree. Plus, they have Greg Berlanti and Craig Wright from Brothers & Sisters which has been one of the few hits for ABC this season, so I think that might work in this show's favor as well.

Well they didn't take that into consideration when Donald was on Commander and Chief, an abc show that had so much potential then abc just gave up on it for no reason at all.

This sounds really great. Actually like a B&S clone with more satire edge.

They even an ex-SFU castmember (Griffths -> Kraus) and an Oscar-nominee (Suitherland, not a winner like Sally Field though) among their cast. LOL!

    • Creatively, he probably should have stayed with The Doctors, where he stood out as an antihero lead. Not sure what happened with GH. He didn't have the same impact. Was it bad writing, not clicking with co-stars? Didn't they gave him a boat load of money to join GH in 1976? Was Mark Dante just a toned-down version of Nick Bellini? Were they basically the same character?
    • All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.
    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
