I think it's better this TV item wasn't picked up
The Honolulu Pulse spoke with Chinese-American actress Kelly Hu, who's a native of Hawaii, about an unsold TV pilot she'd worked on with Don Johnson, whom she'd co-starred with on Nash Bridges during the 3rd season:
The actress had also hoped she would return to TV-land as a regular character in “A Mann’s World,” a pilot shot for NBC that did not get picked up by the network for the new season. She was going to star opposite Don Johnson, who played the role of a celebrity hairstylist named Allan Mann.Oh really. If it's a product of that phony leftist King, who produced a series that otherwise did not depict women in the best of lights, I think it's for the best that it didn't get picked up.
The concept came from Michael Patrick King, who won Emmys for his work on “Sex and the City.” It sounded like a sure thing.
“It’s dead in the water,” Hu said. “It did really sound like it was going to be a great project. It was an amazing cast. Unfortunately, it just didn’t make it. Pilot season is tough. You never know what will get picked up.”
However, I do think it's a shame that the producers of the new take on Hawaii 5-0 decided to kill off the character she'd played there recently, named Laura Hills. What was the whole point of that? It's a gimmick that's become very tasteless today.
