ABC ORDERS 'TOAST'
SCOTT FOLEY SITCOM PILOT
ABC has, meanwhile, ordered a pilot for multicamera TV comedy series
TOAST coming from Shonda Rhimes and written by one of her fave actors
Scott Foley but I'm not sure yet if he will star in it as well. The
hybrid sitcom revolves around engaged couple Max and Paige who, over
their wedding rehearsal dinner, have their eclectic family and friends
give toasts recalling anecdotes about the couple — but flashbacks reveal
that the toasts don’t always get it right, as we watch the true story
of their complicated, funny and relatable road to marriage.
