Tony Award winner and Broadway favorite Kristin Chenoweth will soon star in GCB, premiering on CBS on Sunday, March 4 from 10:00-11:00 p.m., ET. The soap opera format returns to Dallas in this deliciously fun, wicked new drama that shows that you can go home again...but only if you're ready to face the sins of your past. In the video, Chenoweth chats with costar Jennifer Aspen about what to expect from the new series!

Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb), once the ultimate high school "mean girl," is forced to return home in disgrace after her marriage ends in scandal. Reluctant but desperate, Amanda has no choice but to turn to her mother, Gigi (Annie Potts), for help.

Then there's Cricket Caruth-Reilly (Miriam Shor) whose boyfriend Amanda stole and later married. Cricket is now a tough-as-nails, successful businesswoman with a perfect marriage - at least so it appears from the outside. Sharon Peacham (Jennifer Aspen), the fallen beauty queen whose chance at the Miss Teen Dallas crown was snatched away by a malicious rumor Amanda started, hasn't really been the same since. Finally, there's Heather Cruz (Marisol Nichols), a bit of an outsider back in high school who has now become fully inducted into this twisted little social clique of affluent, sugary, God-fearing, steely women whose bark is as bad as their bite. You know what they say about payback, Amanda, it's a...
