His priorities bring him head-to-head with Ingrid as her client courts his family's energy company." And Sunny will portray Victoria St. Clair, "a British hotelier, who's as rich as she is glamorous.

"The opportunity to play Micki has truly been a blessing as has working alongside the incredible cast and crew of this terrific series. Please know that I will continue to root for my TV family and wish them all the best." (Deadline.com)
