In case you haven't seen the newest link on the main page, Alyssa Milano dispelled the rumor about the title and gave her feelings on the pilot, from http://www.safesearching.com/alyssamilano/blog/
Hello! Hello! Hello!
I hope this blog finds you all well and in good spirits. There are so many exciting things going on in my life, I don't know where to begin! Let's start with the pilot I just finished for ABC, shall we? Inside scoop? Contrary to Internet reports that it has been titled "All Fall Down", we still don't have a title beyond "The Untitled Rina Mimoun Pilot". In fact, it was never called "All Fall Down". Even Rina, who created the show, doesn't know how this factitious title came about.
I have to tell you, I have never been prouder to be a part of anything in my entire career and you know how proud I was of Charmed, so that's really saying something. The script is amazing (Rina has got the gift) and for the three weeks we worked in South Carolina, everything fell into place with ease. The director (Lawrence Trilling), the cast (Mary Steenburgen, James Brolin, Anna Camp, Misha Collins, Ian Kahn, David Suttcliffe), the crew (to my delight - we even had a couple of Charmed crew members in our camera department), everything about this experience was special. It was a labor of love and I think we made a damn good pilot and I know I made lots of good friends. Now... we play the waiting game for two months and hope ABC finds a time slot in their programming for us. My fingers are crossed. My toes are crossed. Everything is crossed. I am a pretzel.
The script is warm, smart and hysterically funny. It opens with my character (Annie) in labor where she finds out some unsettling news about her husband. She is a high-powered attorney in Boston. After finding out this news, she takes her newborn son and drives back to her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina (not Savannah as falsely reported on the Internet) to raise her baby and chaos ensues. The characters and relationships are so real, quirky and heartwarming. You will fall in love with this dysfunctional and yet functional family. I think there is something for everyone to relate to.
