Katie Cassidy joins ABC's Georgetown rejects CW's Heavenly + Daisy Betts also cast

Katie Cassidy has joined ABC's Georgetown from the creators of Gossip Girl after rejecting the lead role in the CW's supernatural pilot Heavenly.
Daisy Betts (Persons Unknown) have also joined the project described as a sexy soap centered around the young people behind the power brokers of Washington, DC. It centers on Andrew Pierce (Jimmy Wolk), an effortlessly charming and brilliant Yale graduate and the youngest Presidential speech-writer on record. Cassidy will play Nikki, a smart and quick-witted junior staffer in the White House Communications Office with connections to the First Lady. Nikki, who is also a model, is friends and roommates with Andrew and Samantha (Daisy Betts), an idealistic young staffer with the Democratic President, daughter of a political dynasty who shares a romantic history with Andrew. Georgetown, from Warner Bros. TV and Josh Schwarz and Stephanie Savage's Fake Empire, reunites Cassidy with Schwartz and Savage, on whose CW show Gossip Girl she recently recurred.
