Mandy Moore quits ABC pilot 'Pulling'

Mandy Moore reportedly quits ABC pilot 'Pulling'.

Produced by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, the story revolves around three dysfunctional women in their 30s, Louise, supposed to be played by Mandy, is one of them. When changes to the character were introduced during production, Mandy was reportedly unhappy and eventually decided to step aside.

“Many things change quickly as a pilot moves into production,” Moore said, according to TV Guide. “And in this case, Lee and Gene moved the character in a different direction, it was clear this wasn’t right for me. Rather than jeopardize the show, I asked to step aside.”

The singer-actress has this to say:

“They and ABC were very accommodating, and wish them all the best in the fall. It’s a terrific show that worked so well in the UK, I hope it gets the audience it deserves here.”
