GCB, or Good Christian Belles, is a comedic drama series that aired on ABC in 2012. The show follows the story of Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb), a recently widowed mother of two who, after her husband's death, moves back to her hometown in Dallas, Texas. There, she reconnects with old friends and enemies in a world filled with gossip, drama, and plenty of judgment.

The cast of GCB boasts some talented actors and actresses, such as David James Elliott (JAG), Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies), Mark Deklin (Desperate Housewives), Jennifer Aspen (Party of Five), Marisol Nichols (24), Miriam Shor (The Americans), Annie Potts (Designing Women), and Eric Winter (The Mentalist).

At the center of the show is Amanda Vaughn, a former high school "mean girl" who returns to her hometown with a big secret. Despite her attempts to start a new life, she quickly finds herself embroiled in the same scandalous world she used to thrive in. Amanda's former classmates, all now grown up and still living in Dallas, are not quick to forget the pain she caused them years ago. However, with her newfound faith and a desire to change her ways, she attempts to make amends and move on.

Battling against Amanda is Carlene Cockburn, portrayed by Kristin Chenoweth. Carlene, the self-proclaimed Queen Bee of their high school class, is now a powerful and wealthy figure in the community. She is relentless in her crusade against Amanda, doing everything in her power to make her life miserable. Along with her friends, Cricket (Miriam Shor) and Sharon (Jennifer Aspen), Carlene attempts to sabotage Amanda at every turn. However, their efforts often backfire, resulting in hilarious and embarrassing situations.

Other characters in the show include Amanda's mother, Gigi (Annie Potts), a strong-willed and outspoken woman who has her own secrets to hide; Pastor Tudor (David James Elliott), a charming and handsome man of God who often finds himself at odds with the women of the church; and Blake Reilly (Mark Deklin), the husband of one of Amanda's former classmates and a man with his own share of secrets.

Throughout the series, the characters deal with a variety of issues that test their faith, their relationships, and their loyalty to one another. From adultery to addiction to political scandal, GCB covers a wide range of topics with humor and heart.

One of the strengths of the show is its ability to balance comedy with drama. While there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, there are also serious moments that touch on important themes such as forgiveness, redemption, and personal growth. The show also explores the complexities of female relationships, showcasing the power struggles and insecurities that often exist among women.

Overall, GCB was a strong addition to ABC's lineup in 2012, offering a fresh take on the classic story of the "mean girl" who must face the consequences of her actions. Despite its cancellation after just one season, the show remains a cult favorite among fans who appreciate its humor, heart, and talented cast.
