Eliza Dushku - "Nurses" Pilot - She gets the lead in this new FOX show

Dushku aids Fox’s ’Nurses’

Cox, Valletta on board CBS pilots

Eliza Dushku has been tapped to star in Fox’s one-hour pilot "Nurses," Nikki Cox is set to star in CBS’ comedy pilot "Fugly," and Amber Valletta will star in CBS’ drama pilot "Twilight."

Additionally, Joshua Malina and Nia Long have landed lead roles on ABC’s untitled Jon Feldman drama pilot, Autumn Reeser and David Walton have joined CW’s untitled Tom Wheeler pilot, and Beverly D’Angelo has been added to CBS’ drama pilot "Skip Tracer."

"Nurses," from 20th TV, is a comedic drama about the lives and loves of a team of nurses. Dushku will play the lead, a young woman just out of nursing school who joins the hospital run by her father. Dushku replaces Katheryn Winnick, who originally was cast in the role; the part was recast after the character was taken in a different, more comedic direction. Also cast in the pilot is Jaclyn DeSantis (Paradigm), who will play an experienced nurse going through a bitter divorce.

The project reunites Dushku with Fox and 20th TV following her starring role on "Tru Calling." The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" alumna will next be seen in the feature "Nobel Son." She is repped by the Gersh Agency.
