Many actors, but in HTF's case...performers, do multiple series now because of low eppies/season and production rapping up quickly. 

 

Logan Browning (Jelena) is in Netflix's DWP but S1 is complete so she could still do HTF.

Is anyone watching this show? I haven't watched any of the new episodes but I have noticed that when the show had its premiere it trended for a few hours on social media and most were complaints about missing characters and weird plots.  I haven't heard a peep since.

I am watching and not caring for it. There is no Jude and Zero and the explanation to Zero leaving was lame as hell. The plots are worse than they were before.....

 

 

Just checked the ratings and they are awful. On VH1 the show had a 0.7 demo rating with 1.1 million viewers......on BET the premiere episode got a 0.2 demo and less than half a million viewers. The ratings for episode 2 went down even more and picked up slightly for episode 3. The show is down 76% in demos and 70% in viewers from season 3 on VH1. A question.....do VH1 and BET have the same availability ?? Meaning do less people get BET channel than VH1? I don't see the show being renewed after this season.

They are both on basic cable, as far as I remember. The show had sort of messed itself up even before it left VH1 and seems to have deteriorated from there.

The first bad sign to me was when I noticed that Kimberly Elise (Sloane) wasn't having much to do with the show anymore.  She is the executive producer and if it weren't for her, the show would never have gotten greenlit in the first place. Her character is gone, and she was the best actor on that show.

 

From what I have heard, there's no Ahsha and people were upset with the excuse, er, explanation that was given for her absence. 

Pete was killed off, very early, in a very sad way.

There are a slew of new characters that have been plunked down, seemingly all at once, instead of one by one.

Too many fundamental changes in one episode.

From what I heard, the show got very dark all at once. 

In previous seasons, the show had been relatively fun, not too deep and not too heavy.  It was never Downton Abbey and that was fine...HTF was supposed to have bouncy dance routines, a bit of comedy, a bit of drama, a dash of suspense and attitude to cover whatever deficiencies the show had (it had more than a few, TBH).

I also heard complaints that even the choreography and dancing wasn't as good as it had been in the past.

Also, one of the biggest problems is that the show has simply lost a lot of momentum having been off the air for so long.

All of these are reasons for the huge drop in ratings especially your last statement. Those who didn't return went to other projects ....thinking the show was done with.....I've even seen the actor who plays Jude now on the reboot of Dynasty as fake Adam. I wonder how he juggled both shows. He could've easily bolted too. I miss my Zero and Jude.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it.
