DS9's Nana Visitor is on Wildfire

*Raph's Girl* · 06-04-2005, 12:27 AM

Just saw the trailor for a new tv series that'll be on ABC family starting June 20th! It's a series about this troubled girl who's sent to work on a horse farm owned by the Ritter Family. The family matriarch is Jean Ritter played by Nana Visitor(DS9's Maj/Col Kira Nerys). So for those wondering what Nana was up to...now ya know! *L*

Here's the plot from TV Tome:

A troubled life has led Kris Furillo (newcomer Genevieve Cortese) to juvenile hall where her only friend is a failed racehorse named Wildfire. Both have lost the will to trust and the faith to believe in anything, least of all themselves. But whenever Kris rides Wildfire, something happens. They feel free and suddenly dreams seem possible. The real world slips away and the past can't catch them.

Desperate for a second chance, Kris accepts a job at the Raintree Horse Farm, owned by the Ritter family. The Ritters used to be at the top of the high-stakes, winner-take-all racing world, but now they desperately need a winning horse to keep Raintree alive.

A beautiful outsider in a ruthless world of wealth and power, Kris soon discovers that she must live by a different set of rules and learn to open her heart.

Matt Ritter (Micah Alberti, All My Children) is a model son but is he hiding something? Junior Davis (newcomer Ryan Spypek), Matt's best friend and the son of Raintree's arch rival, wants the one thing he can't have. Danielle "Dani" Davis (Nicole Tubiola, Undressed), Junior's sister and Matt's ex, has it all and isn't about to share. Jean Ritter (Nana Visitor, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Raintree's matriarch, struggles to keep the farm alive. Pablo (Greg Serano, Dangerous Minds), Raintree's chief trainer, has his own dark past. And Henry (Dennis Weaver, McCloud), Jean's father-in-law, clings to the old ways.

Wildfire remains Kris' one true friend and he soon becomes Raintree's last hope. But it's a long way to the finish line. Rivals will stop at nothing to win. Ghosts from the past will haunt. Friendships will be tested and love will pay a price. Will Kris outrun her past? Does Wildfire have what it takes to be a champion?

One thing is certain...together they can do the impossible. But nobody said it was going to be easy.

TNG/DS9/Voyager writer/Executive Producer Michael Piller is also the creator/writer/Executive producer of this series!

June 20th at 8pm on ABC Family is when it premiers and where it's at. This show is about horses, which I love, and Nana Visitor...plus Michael Piller is involved so the series has 3 pluses going for it from the get go!
