NBC is moving forward with three more series for next season, the drama The Event and comedies Outsourced and Love Bites. The Event is helmed by Jason Ritter whose character is investigating his fiancee’s disappearance and uncovers a huge national cover-up; Outsourced stars Ben Rappaport as an American who moves to India to teach his company’s call center about all things American; and Love Bites is a 60m romantic anthology series. These pick-ups follow NBC’s news last week that it approved the J.J. Abrams’ spy drama Undercovers just prior to the network’s upfront. Syfy is developing a new drama Metadocs based on the comic book series from Antarctic Press, reports Variety. The network is working with Landscape Entertainment and Michael Chernuchin who is writing the pilot. The plot is set inside a secret wing of a hospital that treats superheroes. Chernuchin will produce with Landscape Entertainment’s Bob Cooper and J.J. Jamieson along with Platinum Studios’ Scott Mitchell Rosenberg. FremantleMedia and Universal Cable Productions will also produce. Platinum Studios holds the rights to the comic. ABC News tapped Bianna Golodryga as Co-Anchor for ABC’s Good Morning America weekend edition. Golodryga co-anchors with Bill Weir, news anchor Ron Claiborne and weather anchor Marysol Castro.

She has been with ABC News since July 2007, focused on the economy and business beat. USA Network cast Emmanuelle Vaugier in its new spy drama Covert Affairs which is in production currently in Toronto, per THR. Vaugier will play a journalist/blogger.
