Her days may be numbered on television’s Ugly Betty, but the curtain hasn’t closed just yet for Becki Newton. The actress has reportedly landed a starring role in a new NBC pilot. Newton, who previously appeared as receptionist Amanda on the recently cancelled Betty, has been cast as virgin and hopeless romantic “Annie” in the new hour-long comedy Love Bites, Entertainment Weekly said this week. The romantic comedy, executive produced by Sex And The City’s Cindy Chupack, is expected to premiere this fall.
