The show premiered on Februas a mid-season replacement taking over ER 's spot at 10:00 pm Eastern/9:00 pm Central. George had been personally cast by Bushnell, but left in early 2007 when she was offered the HBO series In Treatment. However, the show underwent significant changes with all the aforementioned cast being replaced and with executive producers DeAnn Heline and Eileen Heisler, writers Rand Ravich and Jill Gordon and director Nigel Cole all fired. The cast initially included Gina Gershon as Wendy Healy, Melissa George as Nico Reilly, Will Toale as Shane Healy and Christopher Wiehl as Kirby Atwood, with Matthew Morrison, Scott Cohen and Edward Herrmann also attached. The hour-long series was based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Candace Bushnell, who also served as executive producer alongside showrunner/ head writer Oliver Goldstick.
