Another cut made late in the game to the primetime lineup. ABC has effectively cancelled its darkly whimsical show, Eastwick, starring Rebecca Romijn. The show while well done production and cast-wise was a casualty of low ratings. ABC will air the remainder of the 13 episodes that were originally slated and then Eastwick will magically disappear from the airwaves.
The move proves unfortunate for another cast member, Lindsay Price, who portrays Joanna Frankel on Eastwick. Last year she was a member of another Sex and the City-like cast on Lipstick Jungle. The show starred Brooke Shields was cancelled after two seasons on NBC.

In other news, The Forgotten, ABC’s drama about a group of volunteers who gives names to John and Jane Does killed in the New York area has gotten new life. ABC has ordered five more episodes of the Christian Slater drama. It’s sweet success for Slater, since his last endeavor, NBC’s My Own Worst Enemy was cancelled after airing only 9 episodes. Here’s hoping more luck to Mr. Slater!
