The mysteries by author Carolyn Keene — actually a pseudonym for several writers — have entertained generations, and The CW offers a very modern take on the character as "Nancy Drew" premieres Wednes- day, Oct. 9. Relative new- comer Kennedy McMann plays the young sleuth whose mourning of her late mother strains her relation- ship with her father Carson (Scott Wolf) ... not helped when Nancy becomes a suspect in a murder she discovers outside the diner where she waitresses. "I have quite a long his- tory with Nancy Drew," Mc- Mann reports. "I come from a super-literary family. My mom's an author. I grew up reading the books. I played the computer games all through college. When (this job) came about, I was like, 'I've been doing this my whole life! I'm ready to go.' "But when I got the part, it had been a while since I read the books, and I intentionally did not re- read them because I was confident in the history that I had with the character. And I wanted to just be true and dedicate myself to the Nancy that we were creating." Other familiar "Nancy Drew" figures are repre- sented in the show, in- cluding Bess and George (Leah Lewis, Maddison Jaizani), though they and Nancy aren't quite the close friends the books portray. Also remaining a major element is Ned Nickerson (Tunji Kasim), but his relationship with Nancy — which goes well beyond "chaste" in the pilot — endures some big tests, indicated by the note the opening hour ends on.
