Why do people cheat? And how does it impact their relationships with spouses, lovers, friends, and family. The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) is currently casting a new series called "Unfaithful" which examines infidelity among couples. The show features couples who have been forced to face the fallout that so often goes along with being unfaithful.
We are looking for couples with compelling stories about infidelity of all types. Both sides must be willing to be open and honest about their experiences. If you are interested, please email Patrick Hartz at [email protected] for more details.
Ok ok, so I told a tiny little white lie in the title, you won't be sitting on the comfy couch with Oprah herself, my leverage isn't quite that good and for some reason her cell phone keeps losing signal when I call her, but isn't being on any sort of TV your destiny anyway?
I did get to see the pilot episode that Patrick forwarded on to me and it's very good. Great production values, pacing and really showed the emotional intensity of affairs very well. Excellent at showing the horror of waking up and realizing the grass isn't greener and mistakes have been made. Both heartbreaking in watching actors replaying the drama of critical moments as the couple narrated and heartwarming in seeing the rekindling of love and a life together. I liked it.
Though I admit I about threw my soda at the screen when one wife gave the "I Love You But I'm Not In Love With You" line and the husband just folded like a chump not realizing another man was involved. Maybe I'm simplifying things a little much, but everyone needs a class in Game before they marry. I. Shall. Fix. This.
So if you're interested give Patrick a tinkle at [email protected]. As an aside - I get nothing for this, I just liked the pilot and cheating wrecks lives. Showing some of the ugly inner workings is a helpful and noble cause. Though of course please mention who sent you... and naturally how awesome it would be if... well... you know... maybe I could um... have my own show.
