DEVELOPMENT HISTORY:

STATUS:
previously in development (2005-2006 season)
DEVELOPMENT STAGE:
ordered to pilot
DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release) New York is the city of possibility for anyone who's ever had a dream. Writers. Actors. Up-and-comers. Whatever their ambition, they all come to New York looking for their big break. All share a passionate desire to become something extraordinary, but no one wants it more than Lennie Rose. At 26, the beautiful, talented Lennie Rose will play or sing a song to anyone who'll listen. Her family doesn't understand her, and her love life is anything but healthy, but fortunately she's found support in an eclectic group of friends. There's Jackson, a handsome former Olympian looking for a new dream, and Harper, a brilliant novelist who sees Lennie as his ultimate heroine. Jackson, Harper and Lennie all work together at a bustling NY restaurant, along with dangerously sexy, aspiring actress Stella, and clumsy, but adorable, law student Tess – building their futures one shift at a time. As love, sex, jealousy, money problems, hard partying, and professional rejection chip away at their drive toward success, Lennie rises to the challenge of a life destined for greatness. In an age of instant celebrity and reality TV success, Writer Krista Vernoff (Wonderfalls, Charmed) and Director Ken Olin (Alias) create a romantic dramedy dedicated to anyone who's ever had a dream.
