Irish actress Ruth Bradley has signed a holding deal with US network, ABC and ABC Studios.

The Dubliner, who played the lead in the ABC drama pilot “Beauty and the Beast” has signed on to stay at the network despite the fact that the series did not get the green light, according to Deadline.com.

This means that Bradley, star of “Love/Hate” and “Titanic”, will likely land another pilot role with the network.

Bradley will appear in the upcoming comedy-horror “Grabbers”, due to be released on 10th August.

The film opens the Galway Film Fleadh on 10th July.
