Karine cast in new ABC pilot!
Pan Am co-star Karine Vanasse is set to co-star in a new ABC drama project. The Quebec-born actress has been cast in the drama pilot Scruples. Executive produced by Tony Krantz and Natalie Portman, the project is based on the novel by Judith Krantz and centers on rich and powerful clothing designer Billy Winthrop in a world of sex, revenge and scandal. Vanasse will play Valentine, a talented aspiring fashion designer who recently arrived in New York from Paris. The casting is in second position to Pan Am, which is not expected to return next season. Michael Sucsy (The Vow) is directing Scruples from a script by Bob Brush. Warner Bros. TV is producing. Vanasse is the second Pan Am cast member to book a pilot in second position this season, along with male lead Mike Vogel who would star in the Fox comedy Living Loaded.

YES! I'm so excited about this, it actually sounds really promising and I love that Karine is playing another French girl. I really hope it gets picked up and extended to a full season. And if it gets that far, I hope it does better than Pan Am!
