Instead of the beaches of Miami, one Canadian actress is moving to New York City.
Canadian actress Jessalyn Gilsig has been tapped as a possible love interest on "CSI: NY."
The Montreal-born Gilsig made a big splash on "Nip/Tuck" as Christian Troy's (Julian McMahon) sex addict lover who contracts HIV and gives birth to Christian's son.
Gilsig returns in season five of "Nip/Tuck," which is currently airing on Friday nights at 10 p.m. ET on CTV.
When "CSI: NY" returns with new episodes in April, Gilsig will be front and centre as the unnamed love interest for Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise), the head of New York's crime scene investigation department.
The character is reportedly an employee at the mayor's office, and may appear in three episodes, with the possibility of returning next season.
Sources said the network has passed on the one-hour pilot, which revolves around a suburban Neighborhood Watch group gone awry.
Sony Pictures TV, which produces "Watch" with Pariah, is said to be looking to extend the options on the actors and shop the project elsewhere.
With the broadcast development season in jeopardy because of the writers strike, networks might be more enticed than usual to consider a completed pilot developed by a rival network.
Directed by Charles McDougall and written by "There's Something About Mary" scribes Ed Decter and John J. Strauss, "Watch" features a cast led by Billy Burke, Lou Diamond Phillips, Mathew St. Patrick, Kristin Lehman and Jessalyn Gilsig.
