Sources say that Love Bites will be some sort of anthology pilot, lasting for an hour.  Each episode will consist of three different but related views on love, sex and relationships.  That covers marriage and dating as well, which isn't a surprise.  It's from Cindy Chupack, known for her acclaimed work on Sex and the City.

Ugly Betty star Becki Newton will supposedly be appearing in just the first episode of the upcoming series, but there's still no final word on that.  It's possible she'll agree to more appearances for the rest of the show though.  She did, after all, have to sift through 11 pilot offers before deciding on this one.

If her role on Love Bites does end up being for the pilot alone, then that means Becki Newton could be available for more pilots.  We certainly agree that television needs more of this Ugly Betty comedienne, unless of course she'd rather work on her theater projects.  Then again, she's been doing both for years so that wouldn't be much of a problem.

Becki Newton indeed rose to fame as the quirky Amanda Tanen on ABC's Ugly Betty, initially achieving minor roles on several television series.  She was seen on Cold Case and Charmed, but ultimately found her place in the wild world of a fictional magazine company.

Given her talent on the recently axed comedy, Newton became one of the most sought-after actresses for pilot season.  We're hoping she lands another series or teams up with Michael Urie on a project, just like their little cabaret show.  But for now, we're happy she snagged a part on Love Bites.
