LOS ANGELES - Old faces pop up in new places,as Nikki Cox, Greg Germann and Joely Fisher will all be featured in fall pilots.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cox, last seen as a Vegas dancer on The WB's "Nikki," will return to Sin City as the star of a currently-untitled drama on NBC. Produced by NBC and DreamWorks TV, the show will feature Cox as an escort who operates out of a casino and helps the building's surveillance team. She has to work with a team member (played by Josh Duhamel) who had a crush on her in high school.

Cox got her start on ABC's "General Hospital," but may be best know from the seminal WB sitcom "Unhappily Ever After." She also appeared on "Blossom" and "The Norm Show."

Germann will topline the FOX's "The Mallards." In the family comedy, produced by Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV, Germann will play the head of the Mallard family, a snobby clan turned upside down by the return of Germann's illegitimate teenage son.

This will be Germann's first series since he co-starred as Richard Fish on FOX's "Ally McBeal. Besides the five years he spent on David E. Kelley's legal comedy, Germann has appeared on "Ellen" and "Ned and Stacey" and in feature films including "Down to Earth" and "Jesus' Son."

Another "Ellen" veteran, Fisher will take the lead in the Lifetime drama "Wild Card" playing a former Vegas blackjack dealer who becomes an insurance fraud investigator after her sister's mysterious death leaves her raising a young niece and nephew.

This will be Fisher's first stab at television drama after sitcoms like "Grosse Pointe" and "Baby Bob." While Fisher is doing this pilot, "Baby Bob" remains a possible midseason replacement for CBS.
