GOOD CHRISTIAN BELLES (formerly GOOD CHRISTIAN BITCHES): Twenty years ago, Amanda Vaughn was the queen bee of Highland Park Texas, but now she's got to pay for her sins. An original mean girl, Amanda (Leslie Bibb) used to terrorize the less attractive and less popular. After her husband gets busted for a Ponzi scheme and then dies in sensationalized circumstances, Amanda has to return to Dallas in disgrace and start her life again. Will the good Christian bitches of her hometown welcome her with open arms ... or stab her in the back? No one in Highland Park is a saint, but that doesn't mean they can't have a heart. As Amanda and her teenage kids try to adjust to their new circumstances, the ladies of Highland Park alternate between sympathy and scheming. Based on Kim Gatlin's hit book, "Good Christian Bitches," Robert Harling ("Steel Magnolias") is adapting and executive producing along with Darren Star ("Sex and the City") to bring this sexy, salacious new drama home to roost.
