Last week we brought you the first casting news on the ABC pilot in development, Gothica. Today we have another bit of casting for the show, Janet Montgomery has been tapped to play Grace Van Helsing in the show. Read on for all the details.
According to Deadline, Janet Montgomery (Made in Jersey, Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead) is set as the lead of another drama pilot, ABC’s gothic soap Gothica.
Set in the present day, the ABC Studios/Mark Gordon Co. project weaves together a mythology that incorporates the legends of Dracula, Jekyll and Hyde, Frankenstein and Dorian Gray. It centers on Grace Van Helsing (Montgomery), a Pulitzer prize winning journalist from New York who takes over her family’s hometown newspaper. Dorian Gray (Chris Egan) provides her with the $20 million she needs to retain control of the paper, and she was romantically involved with Victor Frankenstein years ago.
Montgomery joins already cast Chris Egan as Dorian Gray and Tom Ellis as Victor Frankenstein.
