After an intense news day which was pretty much all about Emmy night, here are some other things that transpired.
- ABC Family has announced that Teri Polo (“The West Wing”) and Sherri Saum (“In Treatment”) have been cast in ABC Family’s drama pilot “The Fosters”, which is executive produced by Jennifer Lopez. It tells the story of Stef and Lena Foster, a mixed race couple who are raising a biological son, along with several adopted children. When Lena decides to take in Callie, a troubled teen with an abusive past, Callie’s disruptive ways threaten to turn the Fosters lives upside down.
Polo will portray Stef Foster, a tough but kind police officer who is not eager to add to their already large brood, but soon realizes her family may be Callie’s best hope for a better life. Saum will portray Lena Foster, an altruistic school principal, who is determined to save as many kids as she can and agrees to take in Callie without Stef’s knowledge.
