The future of ABC's Cashmere Mafia remains to be gloomy due to its low ratings which strongly hint on an unlikely renewal next season. Regardless of the show's fate, one cast member is expected to linger on the network's circuit. Lucy Liu, who plays publisher Mia Mason on the Sex and the City inspired series, is now in negotiations for a role in the upcoming second season of Dirty Sexy Money.
If all goes well, Liu would become a regular on the drama series, which stars Peter Krause as the attorney for a filthy-rich family in New York. She would also be working alongside Donald Sutherland, William Baldwin, Natalie Zea, Glenn Fitzgerald, Blair Underwood, Seth Gabel, Zoe McLellan, and Jill Clayburgh.

It looks like Juliet Darling and the rest of the Darling family are going to have a big falling out. Samaire Armstrong, who plays Juliet Darling on ABC's Dirty Sexy Money, will not return to the series as a regular cast member next season. Her contract was not picked up by ABC. She will, however, return periodically as a guest star, Armstrong's schedule permitting. This means that the most entertaining spoiled twins on TV will be split up. Dirty Sexy Money hasn't aired new episodes since before the strike, but has been renewed by ABC and will come back for a full second season come next Fall (which has been the norm for first year shows). No specific reason for Armstrong's departure from the Dirty Sexy Money team or ABC has been given.

Dirty Sexy Money was easily one of the best shows to premiere at the beginning of the season, but unfortunately its run was short-lived. Due to the writers' strike, the ABC series only had the opportunity to air ten episodes before production was halted. Fans now have to wait months before season 2 of the series begins in the fall, but thanks to the recent Paley Festival in Los Angeles, we now have some hints on what to expect. Creator Craig Wright appeared at the gathering along with Peter Krause, William Baldwin, Blair Underwood, and other cast members to discuss the future of the soapy drama.

By many accounts, Candis Cayne's portrayal of Carmelita on ABC's Dirty Sexy Money has been considered as 2007's most significant transgender character. Cayne herself made it to Radar Magazine's list of the New Radicals, which names "the year's most notable rogues, renegades, and rule-breakers."
Ironically, Cayne had just about given up on getting her acting career going when Dirty Sexy Money fell onto her lap and turned things around for the transformed former Brendan McDaniel.

If you're looking to cast a handsome, successful man, Blair Underwood is always a good choice. The actor has had a string of successful film and television ventures, and now he's part of the talented and large ensemble cast of ABC's delightfully wicked drama, Dirty Sexy Money. Underwood plays Simon Elder, a philanthropic billionaire with an ax to grind with the Darling family.
Underwood spoke to BuddyTV about his role and the fact that Dirty Sexy Money was recently picked up for a full season by ABC, despite the writers' strike that prevents the final scripts from actually being written. Still, with four episodes left to air, Underwood spoke about his character's relationship with his ex-wife, slated to appear next week, as well as his affinity for the cast, and also about some of his other upcoming projects, including a return to The New Adventures of Old Christine and the new HBO series In Treatment. Continue reading for a full transcript as well as the audio file of the interview.
