"Dog Eat Dog" host and former "Baywatch" beauty Brooke Burns is set to return to scripted television in FOX's summer drama "The North Shore." The former model leads the latest round of pilot casting news.

Burns, who played the unfortunately named Jessie Owens on "Baywatch" from 1998-2000, will take one of the leads in "North Shore," which takes the obligatory "Upstairs, Downstairs" look at a posh Hawaiian resort. Burns will play the hotel's manager.

Kristoffer Polaha ("America's Prince"), Rob Estes ("Melrose Place") and Navi Rawat ("The O.C.") were initially set to star in the series, which has a 13-episode order from FOX, but Estes has reportedly left the project. Burns is also stepping in for another actress.

Also at FOX, Valerie Bertinelli ("One Day at a Time") will co-star opposite Stephen Root ("Office Space") in the comedy "Sorry Charlie," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Root and Bertinelli will play parents coming to terms with the fact that their kids are growing up.

In other casting news, comedian Aron Kader will co-star in NBC's "Beverly Hills S.U.V.," playing the bumbling manager of the show's central boutique car dealership.
