Ryan McPartlin to Recur in ‘MYSTERY GIRLS’ on ABC Family

Mystery Girls, a new series on ABC Family, premiered last night. I wasn’t the least bit interested in it, until Ryan McPartlin posted on Twitter that he’ll play a recurring character. Now I have to check it out just to support Ryan. Here’s the official show synopsis:

Charlie Contour (Jennie Garth) is a suburban housewife and mother, while Holly Hamilton (Tori Spelling) longs for her glory days in the 90’s when she was on television starring with Charlie as the “Mystery Girls.” Both of their lives are disrupted when Nick (Miguel Pinzon), a witness to a crime and a “Mystery Girl” fanatic, will only speak to the infamous duo, and the former friends must reunite and put their TV crime-solving skills to the test.

Ryan plays Detective Duane, a legit member of the police force who is less than enthusiastic about a pair of former TV detectives encroaching on his investigation. And yes, that’s totally meta.

Mystery Girls airs Wednesdays at 8:30/7:30c on ABC Family.
