It seems that Tamsin Greig has replaced Claire Forlani to play opposite Steve Mangan in new show 'Episodes'.
"Claire Forlani and Thomas Haden Church have departed Showtime's new comedy series Episodes starring Matt LeBlanc. Forlani, who had a lead role on the show, was recast after the table read, with another British actress, Tamsin Greig (Shaun of the Dead). Church, who was to recur on the series, had a scheduling conflict with an independent movie.
Episodes, which has received a seven-episode order, revolves around a successful British husband-and-wife comedy team (Greig, Stephen Mangan) thrilled by the prospect of producing a U.S. version of their hit series. But they soon are forced to replace the erudite British lead with LeBlanc and have to navigate the Hollywood TV executive system. Co-starring on the series are Kathleen Rose Perkins and Mircea Monroe." (From deadline.com/tv-casting)
