Her playing a doctor? That should be believable.
So excited!! I would LOVE seeing Rachel back on TV!
How about a role as a shopoholic airhead giving out unsolicited fashion advice? She could probably pull off that role. Casting her as a doctor is like casting Pauly D. to play the President of the United States. If this project even makes it out of development which it probably won’t would be a miracle, and “close to sealing a deal” is not landing a role.
well at least shes goin to be doin somethin again hopefully it might last
This is the same Rachel Bilson who announced a few years ago that she was interested in the kind of movie roles that went to Kate Winslet and Natalie Portman. Guess she auditioned but wasn’t up to the standards of thsoe actresses.
Her movie Waiting for Forever may just be the worst reviewed film of the year. Check out what the critics think of it at rottentomatoes.com
And now she’s back on the CW on a show produced by the husband of her best friend.
Mediocrity and connections, thy name is Rachel Bilson.
well don’t know about excited but FINALLY she has a job huh?
Okay it would be cool to see Rachel back on TV, but again with Josh!? He is the only one finding her work lol…just because she is best friends with his wife.
Is Rachel related to Josh? Has Josh ever met a real-life doctor? (!!!)
She is totally wrong for that part. Unless she is free labor for him so he can show the network something with the option to recast her role.
That is the only thing that makes any sense about this casting.
R U Kidding me Bilson playing a doctor of what fashion no no’s or how to shop b/c there is nothing believable of her playing any medical doctor. And also she is going to the BFF’s again in hopes to seal some tv deal. Lets hope if she does get this she sticks in LA and leaves the on off b/f for good b/c there performance of a couple is F-
How is she going to pronounce Polymyalgia Rheumatica? Triple hysterectomy? Shes dumb as sh**
can’t wait to hear her try to say the medical terms since she has the IQ of a turnip and can barely speak full sentences in real life.
Well, eventually one of these pilots is going to stick and she will be in LA for good for filming.
She needs to hire a colorist. Her hair is not attractive.
Josh if you want her to work give her a job on Gossip Girl. Why didn’t he try to get the CW to pick up that show NBC passed on?? Or why not make her the star on one of the movies he’s working on??
@emilie: she is and always will be a one note actress. that’s not completely horrible. Sarah Jessica Parker made the cute, flirty, airhead type work for 8 years on tv AND in movies playing Carrie Bradshaw. but SJP could’ve never pulled off playing a doctor. she tried in an indie movie w/ Dennis Quaid but it fell flat. even if somehow this pilot miraculously got picked up, i can’t see it lasting long.
I remember a few years ago when some of Rachel’s snooty fans were making fun of Mischa Barton. (You guys know who you are).At that time, Mischa Barton’s movie career was going nowhere and she ended up doing a pilot for the CW.
Unlike Mischa, Rachel at that time still had some kind of movie career.
They also made fun of Adam Brody and Ben Mckenzie because those two guys were hardly followed by the paparazzi and were barely covered by magazines – again, unlike Rachel, who was always getting media attention.
Now look where she is. Doing a pilot for the CW.
BTW Josh, why didn’t you offer her a role on your ABC pilot Georgetown?? Does the CW owe you one?? Or are you blackmailing someone at the CW?? Is this what happened to your X-Men script? You pitched Rachel as the star??
Someone link this to Josh Schwartz’s twitter. That way he’ll know what people think of his decision to cast Rachel – again.
Rachel Bilson,. Leighton Meester…ugh they all have that ugly two toned hair. Why you have to pretend to have roots to be trendy you are officially pathetic.
is the ‘big city doctor moves to small town’ the plot for that old show everwood? i can’t believe this girl was cast for a doctor. are they serious? this ***** can’t act her way out of a paper bag. that’s hollywood for you, it’s all about connections. completely disappointing that ACTUALLY talented and hard working actors/actresses seldom get the break they deserve because they don’t have best friends who are married to television producers.
she probably got the part cause Josh Schwartz is involved with it.
dont give me wrong i always liked rachel but this is so obvious
I cannot believe I did not read one nice comment about Rachel Bilson and the new pilot. What is the big deal? Why is everyone hating on her so much? How does everyone seem to know that she is dumb and awful. She has hardly been given an opportunity to show her talent. Give her a chance.
It was just stated as “closing a deal” just like what Deadline’s hype for Ghost Angeles that wasn’t pick-up by NBC. So its NOT final yet! And if the CW people would simply clears their head and be wary of their finances (they should just check out more the Gossip Girl coz its not really rating that much); CW would or rather MUST follow what NBC had done by scrapping JS cr@ppy idea.
hope it will be a good/interesting series.. I miss the OC tho… :(
@16
The MERE thing is; Mischa Barton, Adam Brody and Ben Mckenzie DON’T have any relatives, friends or even acquaintances who are extremely close to Josh Schwartz – so go figure…
