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.

Taylour Paige (Ahsha) was doing Jean of the Joneses which, I think started as a movie and TV One picked up as a series, but it may have been a limited series so perhaps there's room to do HTF as well?

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.

      Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.

      No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.

      Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)

      But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.

      This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.

      It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison

      "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.

      GH: Classic Thread

      By Khan · Posted

      I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.

      It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?
