Chasing Life Spoilers: April Withholds Her Diagnosis

Getting diagnosed with cancer wasn’t a part of April’s plan. In her mind, she was going to get hired on to a prestigious newspaper and work her way up the corporate ladder while pursuing fulfilling activities in her downtime; when she wasn’t on her way to self-actualization, she would be hitting the dating world and finding the perfect man to bring home to her mother. Snags in each of her respective lives (professional, family, dating) – she can handle and has been handling ever since she can remember. But something as big as a cancer diagnosis? She’s clueless on what to do, how to act, who to tell. Since she’s almost paralyzed from this latest bit of news, and unwilling to admit that even the slightest trace of weakness exists within her, April’s going to sit on her diagnosis for a while, at least until she can straighten her head out. But should she tell her family sooner rather than later?

Listed below are the dates, titles, and descriptions of the first three episodes of Chasing Life.

Tuesday, June 10th – “Pilot” (Sneak Peeks)
April (Italia Ricci) is a smart, charismatic and quick witted twenty-something aspiring journalist. When not pursuing the latest scoop, April tries to balance her ambitious career with her family, which includes her widowed mom Sara (Mary Page Keller), rebellious little sister Brenna (Haley Ramm) and her grandmother (Rebecca Schull). We meet April at a pivotal moment in her life: she’s landed a fantastic opportunity to impress her hard-nosed Boston newspaper editor and an office romance with her super-sexy co-worker Dominic (Richard Brancatisano) is just beginning to blossom. In an unexpected twist of fate, April lands in the hospital where her estranged uncle, George (Steven Weber), works as an oncologist, and she learns the devastating news that she has cancer.
