With ABC announcing their new primetime schedule for the 2012-2013 television season today, there is one show that may have slipped your mind. Mistresses, starring Alyssa Milano, was actually picked up earlier this year but not set to actually air until this time next year.

According to ABC, Milano is Savi in Mistresses, a successful career woman working toward the next phase in her life– both professionally and personally– simultaneously bucking for partner at her law firm while she and her husband, Harry (Brett Tucker), try to start a family of their own. Savi’s free-spirited and capricious baby sister, Josselyn (Jes Macallan), couldn’t be more different– living single, serial dating and partying, and regularly leaning on her big sister along the way. Their common best friend, April (Rochelle Aytes), a recent widow and mother of two, is rebuilding her life after tragedy and learning to move forward, with the support and guidance of her closest girlfriends. And friend Karen (Yunjin Kim), a successful therapist with her own practice, reconnects with the girls after her involvement in a complicated relationship with a patient goes far too deep.

Mistresses, therefore, is an hour-long drama centered on a group of four female friends caught up in a number of salacious secrets, self-discovery, and relationships.

Based on the U.K. series, Mistresses is from K.J. Steinberg, and is executive-produced by Robert Sertner, K.J. Steinberg, Rina Mimoun, and Douglas Rae. ABC plans to debut the new show in May 2013.

The romantic comedy “My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend,” starring Alyssa Milano and Christopher Gorham, will get its U.S. premiere on WB Digital’s pay-per-view and VOD platforms and has been sold around the world by Opus Distribution.

Those deals and global sales on three other movies were announced by Ken DuBow, who founded Opus a year ago with private investment after working at MGM/UA, Modern Entertainment and elsewhere during the past 30 years.

Gearing up for another day of work, Alyssa Milano was spotted on the set of her Lifetime movie “Sundays at Tiffany’s” yesterday (September 23).

The “Who’s the Boss” actress looked comfortable in a pair of pajamas teamed with a pair of tan UGG boots as she made her way around the Toronto set. 

In related news, Alyssa is raising money for an orphanage in Haiti by offering to follow bidders on Twitter.

The auction listing states, “Alyssa Milano will follow you on Twitter for a minimum of 90 days, will retweet one of your tweets and will send out a tweet including your Twitter name. It will be at the celebrity’s discretion to continue following the winner beyond 90 days. Current bid is US$3550 “

With a growing gang of famous faces, the flick seems to be shaping up to be the raunchy step-cousin to Garry Marshall’s sweet-as-pie “Valentine’s Day” (though we somehow doubt the actors’ mugs will be combined into the shape of a heart for the “Hall Pass” poster).
The flick “centers on what happens when two husbands are given permission to go outside their marriages for guilt-free romantic liaisons for one week.” We’re not sure which characters Christina and Alyssa will play, but it’s likely at least one, if not both, will be married to the husbands mentioned, which leaves one burning question: Who in their right mind who want to step out on these gals? We’re curious to see how this kooky premise turns out and if the wives get a little on-the-side lovin’ of their own (if you know what I mean).

What do you think Crushers? Do you think “Hall Pass” is going to ace the reviews or end up on academic probation?
