Goodbye 24, hello comedy for Elisha Cuthbert! The network confirmed today that it has picked up the single-camera comedy Happy Endings for fall that stars Cuthbert as a bride who breaks up with her groom at the altar. It’s one of three laughers that earned orders today by ABC. The others are Mr. Sunshine, a Matthew Perry (Friends) starrer about the owner of a sports arena, and Better Together, a comedy with Joanna Garcia (Privileged) that focuses on two sisters in different stages of their romantic relationships.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Elisha Cuthbert of 24 has joined the ABC drama series The Forgotten in a recurring role.

In a six-episode arc, she will play Maxine Denver, a strong and successful Chicago professional who is forced to put her skepticism of “amateur detectives” aside when the Forgotten Network begins investigating a case close to home.

Cuthbert will debut in episode 11 of the series, which stars Christian Slater.

Cuthbert, best known for her role as the daughter of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) on 24, will reprise that role in a couple of episodes of the series’ upcoming eighth season.

The morbid thought that some of their daughters’ friends and classmates might end up victims to increasing gun violence led husband-and-wife filmmakers David Sudz Sutherland and Jennifer Holness to create the dramatic new CBC-TV miniseries Guns.

TV and film director Sutherland (Love, Sex and Eating the Bones, Toronto Stories) says that gun violence has escalated to become a problem for Canadians everywhere, not simply relegated to “bad” areas.

At a recent event with the Toronto couple’s five-year-old daughter, Sutherland recalled thinking “Which one of these five-year-olds will end up lying in an alley alone?” he told CBC Radio’s Metro Morning on Thursday.

The miniseries, which features such Canadian stars as Colm Feore, Shawn Doyle and Elisha Cuthbert, attempts to explore the issue of illegal gun trafficking and the greater impact it has on entire communities and cities.

“It looks at the problem from different levels,” Holness said, “the people who are actually bringing in the guns as well as the people who are impacted — just everyday people and people on the street.”

Guns begins on CBC Television Sunday at 8 p.m., with the second part to follow Monday at 8 p.m.
