The new series HELLCATS aired Wednesday September 8 at 9:00 PM et/pt on The CW. Starring Aly Michalka as Marti Perkins, Ashley Tisdale as Savannah Monroe, Heather Hemmens as Alice Verdura, Robbie Jones as Lewis Flynn, Matt Barr as Dan Patch, with Sharon Leal as Vanessa Lodge and Gail O’Grady as Wanda Perkins.
At first glance, Michalka looks a lot like 90210's AnnaLynne Mccord (only blonder). She's been in a fair number of Disney flicks and done some work with her equally pretty sister Amanda (Cow Belles
in 2006). Episode: Hellcats “A World Full of Strangers” Marti Perkins (Michalka), is a law student at Lancer University, but finds out that scholarship is being withdrawn and her mom, Wanda (Gail O’Grady, “NYPD Blue,” “American Dreams”) has somehow forgotten to let her know. Without much choice because of finances, Marti discovers that she can stay in school by winning a place on the Hellcats cheer squad and nabbing one of the scholarships that comes with the spot.
Even though Marti has a run-in with Savannah (Tisdale), the Hellcats team captain, Marti wins over coach Vanessa Lodge (Sharon Leal, Dreamgirls). She gets on the squad (and shows her moves above) and gets thrust into the competitive world of cheerleading - it's better than it sounds.
Marti tries to figure out this new world of cheerleading with the help of her best friend Dan (Matt Barr, Harper’s Island) while becoming roommates with Savannah. She's also caught the eye of Lewis Flynn (Robbie Jones, One Tree Hill) who is the ex-boyfriend of Alice Verdura (Heather Hemmens, CSI: Miami), so some jealousy there.
This first episode was directed by Allan Arkush (formerly an executive producer on Heroes) and director for a number episodes of Crossing Jordan.
