The Hollywood Reporter writes that Fox network has given the go ahead for casting to begin on the hour long Sci-Fi pilot Inseparable, from Invasion creator Shaun Cassidy and ABC Studios, but the ongoing WGA strike has put the brakes on the project.
Inseparable is a modern-day Jekyll and Hyde tale about a partially paralyzed forensic psychiatrist with a split personality whose alter ego is a charismatic criminal.
Cassidy first conceived the idea in 2003 and pitched it to Fox before the writer’s strike. The network bought it and asked for a revised draft but before Cassidy was able to complete it, the writers walkout began.
Two months later, the prolonged strike has wiped out this year’s pilot season, and the duration of the stoppage is anybody’s guess.
To get a head start when it’s over, Fox is proceeding with casting on Inseparable but there will be no official pilot order to the project until the network sees Cassidy’s new draft, which he will finish after the end of the strike.

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
