Mistresses Premiere LIVE RECAP 6/3/13 Season 1 Pilot Episode (VIDEO)
Tonight ABC premiers their new drama MISTRESSES. The TV show is based on the hit UK television series of the same name. The series is a provocative and edgy drama about the scandalous lives of a sexy and sassy group of four girlfriends, each on her own path to self-discovery. Mistresses is a sexy new drama about the sometimes shocking lives of the women.
The show stars Alyssa Milano as Savannah (“Savi”) Davis, Yunjin Kim as Karen Kim, Rochelle Aytes as April Malloy, Jes Macallan as Josslyn Carver, Brett Tucker as Harry Davis, Jason George as Dominic Taylor and Erik Stocklin as Sam Grey.
In the premiere episode called, “Pilot,” Savannah (“Savi”) is a successful career woman working toward the next phase in her life — both professionally and personally — bucking for partner at the law firm where she works while also trying to start a family with her husband, Harry. But when their fertility issues begin to take center stage, Savi finds herself attracted to her flirtatious colleague, Dominic. Savi’s free-spirited and capricious baby sister, Josslyn, couldn’t be more different, living single, serial dating and partying. A real estate agent, Josslyn has no interest in a committed, long-term relationship.
Their common best friend, April, is a recent widow and mother of a ten-year-old daughter. After she receives her late husband’s lucrative life insurance check, she begins getting prank phone calls and tells her closest girlfriends that she’s convinced her husband is still alive. Another long-time friend, Karen, is a therapist with her own thriving practice, reconnecting with the girls after her involvement in a complicated relationship with a wealthy, married patient goes too far: She was having an affair with a terminally ill client to whom she had prescribed morphine.
These four friends find support and guidance with each other as they brave their turbulent journeys and life’s storms chock fall of excitement, secrecy and betrayal, all the while bound by the complex relationships they’ve created. To some extent this show seems to be derivative of Sex and the City – but notice that times have changed and the cast is designed to be ethnically diverse and representative of the desired audience.
Tonight’s premiere is going to be an exciting one filled with drama that you won’t want to miss – the producers know they need to get you interested right from the get go therefore you can expect a great show.
