介绍:
Bravo TV Channel in the United States is taking a chance beyond the reality TV genre. Their latest 13-episode hourlong TV series "Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce" may attract lots of female audience. Let's follow Chi Huiguang to listen to what Lisa Edelstein, the leading actress has to say.
Reporter:
Actress Lisa Edelstein was best known for her eight seasons as Dr. Lisa Cuddy on "House". In this newly picked-up series on Bravo TV, she stars as Abby, an author of self-help books who suddenly finds herself needing her own advice when her husband starts seeing a younger woman.
When being asked about her new character, she explains:
"It's a series of books that she's written, Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy,' 'Girlfriends' Guide to Raising a Toddler,' all throughout her life as a wife and a mother. And then the final one is 'Girlfriends' Guide to Getting Your Groove On,' which is about, once your kids are in school, recognizing that you have a partner and what are you going to do about it? And sort of encouraging sex and how to make that happen if it sort of disappeared, all those things about how to keep your marriage lively and hot. Unfortunately, hers has died on the vine, so she's got two things going on at the same time and they're in conflict with each other. What is she going to do? Tune in!"
Edelstein found the role liberating after eight seasons on network television.
"It's really fun to be able to be a little free-er with the dialogue. It's true I have some very sexy scenes in this season, much more so than I've ever really had to do, consistently, in my career, which is so crazy to have happen to a person in their late forties! It's like, why now are my clothes coming off? But I'm there, I'm up for it, I'm up to the challenge! Can you imagine?"
The show is being favorably compared to the HBO smash "Sex & the City," a comparison that Edelstein embraces.
"I'm all for the 'Sex and the City' comparisons, because 'Sex and the City' was a wildly popular show. And if they want to watch our show? Come on over! Welcome to 'Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce!' I think, you know, it's a group of women, essentially, a group of women and their exploits, but it's not quite the rowdy romp that 'Sex and the City' was. I think it goes a little more raw. You know, the stuff you were talking about with Jake, I don't think you would see that stuff on 'Sex and the City,' but certainly some of the things that Phoebe gets up to, you would. It's really fun. It's just a little more raw, yeah."
"Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce" premieres December 2nd on Bravo. The first season consists of 13 episodes.
