Now, he's back home in New York and, unbeknownst to his family, has accepted a job with a free clinic. However, his family has other plans for his life. As their only son, he's supposed to join the Pandas' orthopedic practice, marry a nice Indian girl with a medical degree and have as many children as possible. And while his family is ecstatic to have him home, they will go to any lengths necessary to get him in line with all the other Pandas." (Deadline.com)
STEPS (ABC) - Ryan Michelle Bathe has scored a role on the single-camera comedy pilot, about four adults in three houses raising three kids after two divorces - together. She'll play Genevieve, "a newly single driven work-focused woman in control." (Deadline.com)
