ABC’s “Gothica” has found its lead in Janet Montgomery, EW reports.
The British star will play Grace Van Helsing, the lead character in ABC‘s supernatural soap that weaves together the stories of Dracula, Dorian Gray, Frankenstein, the Van Helsings and the House of Usher in a modern setting. Montgomery’s character will share an undeniable chemistry with Dorian Gray (Chris Egan) and is the ex-girlfriend of the troubled Victor Frankenstein (Tom Ellis), who is trying to bring his deceased daughter, Anna, back to life.
Montgomery recently headlined CBS‘ short-lived “Made in Jersey” and had previous roles in “Human Target,” “Entourage” and “Black Swan.”
