SEEKING:

[DAISY] In her late 20s to early 30s, Caucasian, preferably blonde, pretty and spoiled, she’s an actress who died in the 1930s, supposedly on a set fire during the filming of “Gone With the Wind.” Despite her somewhat immoral and solipsistic world-view, Daisy can be charming, extremely likeable and generous when the mood strikes her. To Mason’s jealousy and annoyance, Daisy immediately falls for Calvin, the new Head Reaper, who helps Daisy secure an understudy role in the play “After the Fall.” Of course, being an understudy will not do for Daisy, and she deliberately injures the lead actress so she can take over the part. However, the stress of performing every night proves too much for Daisy, and she begins drinking heavily — even during performances. Her love affair with Calvin sours quickly after that, and Daisy realizes, along with Mason and Roxy, that slacking on her reaper duties has been her true downfall…LEAD (Cool NAMES PREFERRED

STORY LINE: When CALVIN KANE, a slick businessman who couldn’t care less about helping the newly dead, takes over Rube’s Head Reaper duties, all hell breaks loose, bringing out the worst in Daisy, Roxy, and Mason. George, however, is determined to set her latest, botched reap right, especially because the boy who was supposed to die, HUDSON HART, is her little sister Reggie’s secret boyfriend. In the process, George and Reggie re-connect for real, for the first time…”

Oh, and Ellen posted a blog on myspace saying, “Just to let all you DLMers out there know that this past week, I have been informed that after this “Dead Like Me” movie comes out, it may, go back to series. After seeing the movie, you’ll have to be the judge of whether or not you like the new concept. Give it a chance. I know we all hate change but it has been two years since season 2 so there has to be evolution.”
