Shiri Appleby Talks About 'Life Unexpected'

Star of the new CW series Life Unexpected.Shiri Appleby stopped by to talk about her role as Cate Cassidy -- a radio personality whose daughter has returned to her after she put up her for adoption.

After spending her life bouncing from one foster family to another, 15-year-old Lux (Robertson) has decided to become an emancipated minor. Her journey through the legal maze leads Lux to her biological father, 30-something Nate "Baze" Bazile (Kristoffer Polaha), who lives like an aging frat-boy and is astonished to learn he has a daughter.

Lux is equally astonished to learn that her mother is Cate Cassidy (Appleby), a star on local radio, along with her boyfriend, Ryan Thomas (Kerr Smith). When a judge grants temporary custody of Lux to Baze and Cate, they agree to make a belated attempt to give Lux the family she deserves.

Life Unexpected airs Mondays at 9pm on PIX. For more information, visit www.cwtv.com.
