Daphne Rubin-Vega could be returning to television in the near future

The 42-year-old Panamanian actress, who appeared on the second season of NBC’s Broadway-based musical series Smash, has signed on for a recurring role on ABC’s Richard LaGravenese drama pilot.

Similar to Dangerous Liaisons, the untitled project is set in New York and revolves around the love and rivalry between two equally matched, powerful socialites — Philip Fitzgerald Julien and Margot Worth Cole — who play out their obsessive attraction and seduction of each other through their manipulation of others.

Rubin-Vega, a two-time Tony Award-nominated actress/singer, will portray Philip’s housekeeper.
