Warner Horizon and Alloy Entertainment are set to begin production on a new series pilot for ABC Family that centers on twin identical sisters separated at birth - one rich and one poor. When the rich one goes missing the poor sister sets out to find her.
Alexandra Chando plays dual lead roles of Emma and her twin sister Sutton. Chando is best known for the role of Maddie Coleman on "As the World Turns" and the role of Deb in Warner Horizon Television's "Rockville CA." She is represented by Nick Collins of The Gersh Agency, and her manager is Maggie Schuster of J. Mitchell Management.
Charles Pratt, Jr. is the writer/executive producer on the pilot based on the upcoming novel by "Pretty Little Liars" author Sara Shepard. In January 2010, Shepard announced that her next series would be another thriller novel series called "The Lying Game" about twin sisters separated at birth.
Leslie Morgenstein ("Pretty Little Liars," "Gossip Girl," "The Vampire Diaries") and Gina Girolamo will also serve as executive producers.
The one-hour scripted drama is under AFTRA contract and will shoot from late November, 2010 through December, 2010.

Story:
The show follows Emma (Chando), a kind-hearted foster kid who can’t catch a break. She finds out she has an identical twin sister, Sutton (also played by Chando), who – unlike Emma – was adopted by wealthy parents and is seemingly living an ideal life. After their initial meeting, Sutton talks Emma into stepping into her life for a few days while she pursues a lead on their birth mother. Initially excited to do this favor for her sister, Emma soon learns that Sutton has gone missing and could be in trouble. Now, Emma must decide whether to come clean to Sutton’s family and risk her own safety in the hope of uncovering her twin sister’s true whereabouts, along with the truth about why they were separated in the first place.
