Seems to play right into the ABC Family brand and has the mystery element to it that seems to be what is really working for them currently. And I really like the Florida Resort setting, something different from ‘middle america’.
Sounds like a bit of a mix between “Harper’s Island” and “Hidden Palms”.
Wonder if she will play the lead herself, especially if the Louis C.K./Spike Feresten pilot gets picked up by CBS.

Ashley you are one of the most beautiful & wholesome ladies in Hollyweird. Please do not come out with some LEFT WING HYPOCRITICAL RANT & ruin everything.
