HBO Gets a Leading Lady: Actress Christine Woods (from Flash Forward) has been confirmed as the lady lead opposite Stephen Merchant in his new HBO pilot Hello Ladies which he is also co-written, directed by and starring in. According to Deadline Merchant stars as Stephen, “a gawky Englishman searching for the woman of his dreams in Los Angeles. Half as charming as he thinks he is — and twice as desperate — he’s obsessed with infiltrating the glamorous world of beautiful people. Unfortunately the beautiful people won’t let him in.” Woods will play the woman who rents out his guest house and apparently gives him quite the ribbing for his awkward ways.
