January 2006--Sara Nichols recently completely season 2 of The Gastineau Girls for E! Entertainment/True Entertainment/Endemol. As executive producer, she was brought in to re-vamp the series about the glamorous socialite mother/daughter characters. Nichols took the season in a more comedic loosely scripted direction.

"The goal," said Nichols, "was to make the series a hybrid. All reality is scripted to varying degrees. Nothing happened on the show that didn't reflect who these women really are, we acknowledged we're making a show, and we worked to find the comedy and reflect what the audience was already thinking ."

The last two episodes of the season revealed another side to the Gastineaus. A weepy Lisa and Brittny really got down to the core of their relationship, revealing new info on why they are who they are. Nichols fell in love with the format and is currently considering several options for another "sexy" series. "I've been spoiled in my career. I've always worked with celebrities or music artists, or simply funny complex characters, and I like big production value. I doubt you'll see me ever doing a show about antiques. But you never know. Maybe if it's a sexy antique like Mick Jagger!"

The Gastineau Girls airs several times a week on E! and Style.
