GPS Grad Rachel Boston Lands Role On New CBS Show "The Ex-List"

A familiar face graces the small screen during prime time later tonight.  GPS grad Rachel Boston stars in the new C-B-S show "The Ex-List."

Eight years ago, 18-year old Rachel Boston left Signal Mountain in search of a dream.  Boston serves as proof that dreams come true, starring opposite Elizabeth Reaser in "The Ex-List."

"She's just a sweet heart, she's just a sweet lovely girl and I have a lot of fun with her, she's a character," says Reaser.

Boston got her start in Chattanooga Little Theatre and church productions  She enrolled in Girls Preparatory School in ninth grade, where she landed major roles in several GPS programs.

During her senior year, she moved to New York to pursue a professional acting career, faxing and e-mail assignments and tests to teachers back home, in order to graduate.

Boston landed the role of Daphne Bloom on "The Ex-List," after regular appearances on "American Dreams" and several guest spots on shows like "7th Heaven" and "Grey's Anatomy."

Months before this gig, she met her current co-star by chance... at the end of a bad date.  Boston says "I finally asked do you need to be somewhere else, I think you might, so he said his girl friends, just friends, were out somewhere else and wanted to see if I wanted to go, we went and that's when I met Elizabeth Reaser."

Reaser now plays Boston's sister on the show.  "So, it's a pretty small world out in Los Angeles," says Boston.  For viewers who recognize Boston from her days here, the world just got smaller too.
