He makes his cast and crew circle pray?? And the slogan on his studio wall is "Where even dreams believe"? WTF does that even mean.

The divine Valarie Pettiford--from OLTL but better seen I think as a major triple threat in musicals like Fosse--apparently has a recurring role in this. As "Bimbo." (She's one of two:

• Darmirra Brunson as Drew — Neighborhood bimbo.^[4]

[edit] Recurring cast

• Philip Anthony-Rodriguez as Byron — Divorce attorney of Marianna.^[6]
• Valarie Pettiford as Bobbi — Bimbo )

I know her from Half and Half

as much as I tried to black that movie out of my mind I think he was good.

Say what?

And the slogan on his studio wall is "Where even dreams believe"? WTF does that even mean.

It should say, "Where I makes my money."

It should say, "Where I makes my money."

For real, because that 30-second promo was hideous.

Jonathan Chase, on the other hand? Needs to let me holla.

I want him on AMC as David's long-lost son, preferably by Jane.

I know I've said this already. And until it happens, I'll KEEP saying it.

Oprah's just obnoxious in the OWN promos for this.

"Not just funny .... Tyler Perry funny!"

Kindly sit your fat and desperate for a f.ucking hit ass down, Oprah. You know you're out of options when you launch two Tyler Perry shows simultaneously.

They shot 26 shows in 6 weeks. They will air 2 episodes a week for 13 weeks

RT: Jonathan Chase " OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network Love Thy Neighbor it's happening!" Watch it starting May 29th at 9pm EST. Don't miss out!

I NEED YOUR HELP

This message is to all my folks, especially my die-hard folks, the ones I call the “Board Members” - you know who you are . By now I’m sure you all know that I have moved my TV shows to OWN and on May 28th and 29th I have a two night premiere. On Tuesday night, my new hot drama THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS starts. I’m telling you, I put it all in this show. I not only want you to watch it but we need you to watch it for several reasons. The biggest reason is this is a fresh group of faces and I am beyond excited to see them get their shot. I make you these promises, this SHOW WILL HOOK YOU!!! I KNOW IT! Then on Wednesday night, which used to be my original night of TV, I’m going back to it with a brand new show called LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. It stars a bunch of new faces including the two folks I said I would give a sitcom to, Mamma Hattie (Patrice Lovely) and Floyd (Palmer Williams, Jr). They are so excited and this show is so funny. So Tuesday get your drama on and Wednesday get your funny on OWN, OK?

I remember when HOUSE OF PAYNE started how people tried to kill it before it started, but because you watched it and were there, that show went on into the history books with 254 episodes. Thank you for that. You did that through the grace of God. So in less than ten days THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS and LOVE THY NEIGHBOR will start on OWN. I hope you are planning to watch them. Thank you for helping me help someone else. I wish you could see how excited these cast members are. They have been waiting to see their dreams come true and you know how much I love to be used by God to make that happen. You’ll see, you’ll see.

And FYI, all of you FOR BETTER OR WORSE fans, it’s coming back with a new season to OWN as well. And all you HOUSE OF PAYNE fans, hold on, I’m trying to work on something..LOL, but we’ve got to launch these new shows first, OK?

Let me know your thoughts.

Many blessings and love to you.
