FIND THE LIGHT (ABC) - Marsha Stephanie Blake has booked the lead role on the drama pilot: Ellen Roman, "the owner of the practice and a brilliant therapist, has her life shockingly turned upside down when she begins working with a sociopathic patient who may hold the key to the disappearance of her sister five years earlier. Blake's Ellen is smart, beautiful, a natural leader, instantly perceptive, capable of great empathy, fantastic dry sense of whip-smart humor; a deep well of contradictions stemming from a complicated childhood. She is the founder and main therapist of the "Mindful Insight Therapy Group;" she has both the command and vulnerability to make her the sort of therapist who gives everything she has to her patients. But that devotion, while a strength, is also her biggest weakness." (Deadline.com)

WILL TRENT (ABC) - Jake McLaughlin and Iantha Richardson are the latest to board the drama pilot starring Ramón Rodríguez and Erika Christensen. McLaughlin will play Michael, "raised upper-middle class in the Atlanta suburbs, served overseas in the Army until an injury sent him home, where he's now a Detective with the APD. He has the vibe of a man who grew up watching tough-guy, anti-hero cops and is now excited to be one himself. Michael has a wife and kid at home, but you'd never know it by talking to him." And Richardson portrays Faith, "Will's partner. Faith was born into a law enforcement family, is armed with wicked wit, always considered herself one of the boys, then got pregnant at 14, but now she's pulled her life together to become a Detective. Faith's new assignment with Will is going to be her biggest challenge yet, but she's up for it, and she knows it could be a shortcut to becoming one of the top agents at the GBI." (Deadline.com)
