Helen-SlaterImage Credit: Albert L. Ortega/PR PhotosSupergirl‘s Helen Slater (more recently seen in guest stints on the likes of Smallville, Greek, and Grey’s Anatomy) has been cast as an upper-crust mom in ABC Family’s pilot The Lying Game, EW has learned exclusively. She’ll play Kristen Mercer, the wealthy adopted mother of a teen girl named Sutton. Based on the book by Pretty Little Liars author Sara Shepard, the series revolves around Sutton and her long-lost twin, Emma, reuniting to find their birth mother — until Sutton goes mysteriously missing.

    With Helen Slater’s dozens of credits, I bet she has nearly worn away her teeth gritting them every time some writer refers to her as “Supergirl’s Helen Slater.”

      I agree. But then again I still think of her from Secrets of my Success and the Legend of Billie Jean.

      They played siblings in “The Legend of Billie Jean” and have the same last name, but aren’t related.

    “The Lying Game” sounds like a rip-off of the 1983 REMINGTON STEELE episode “My Fair Steele”!
