"Alyssa Milano sure seems to have perfected the art of mommy multitasking. Returning to TV in ABC&amp;apos;s Mistresses (Monday, June 3 at 10 p.m.), the Who&amp;apos;s the Boss? alum, 40, managed to have the best of both worlds when it came to filming her latest project, though it kept her day jam-packed. &amp;quot;I had just given birth when we shot the pilot, so I was still breastfeeding,&amp;quot; Milano -- who pumped breast milk every two hours in between takes -- told Us Weekly prior to her show&amp;apos;s premiere.\r\n&amp;quot;Bless those men that put up with me, because I wasn&amp;apos;t feeling so sexy, let me tell you!&amp;quot; Milano continued, referring to her male costars Jason George, Brett Tucker and Erik Stocklin.\r\n\r\nTaking on the role of married attorney Savannah Davis on Mistresses -- the U.S. revamp of the popular BBC drama -- Milano appreciated the fact that she could portray a strong, sexy woman on the small screen. &amp;quot;I love playing women that are flawed, and right from the pilot, she makes a decision that has some heavy consequences, so I knew that that exploration would be really challenging and fun to play,&amp;quot; explained Milano, who costars alongside Yunjin Kim, Jes Macallan and Rochelle Aytes.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The foundation of the show is the friendship between the women, and no matter what situation that we get ourselves into . . . we have the support of our friends. If they can&amp;apos;t be honest with you, then who can?&amp;quot; says Milano. &amp;quot;Combined they make the perfect woman. They each represent different parts of a woman&amp;apos;s psyche and being, and they complete each other.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAnother selling point for Milano was the fact that Mistresses -- featuring an ensemble cast -- filmed close to home and afforded her a flexible schedule. &amp;quot;Having some stability and security of being in Los Angeles and knowing my son can come with me to work [was a big factor],&amp;quot; the actress tells Us. &amp;quot;The fact that it&amp;apos;s an ensemble also means I get a couple days off a week so I can be with my child.&amp;quot;\r\nMistresses premieres Monday, June 3 at 10 p.m. (EST) on ABC."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
