Lady Calypso July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 I have to laugh at that article, because it sounds like Rabe and Ventimiglia do not want to come back at all, and most of the actors would rather move onto other projects. If none of them seem interested in returning, then it's better to either create a whole new season 2 with all new characters, or just put the show out of its misery. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/22315-the-whispers-in-the-media/#findComment-1288765

I honestly don't see the point, they already built up these characters even if they're not good. I can't blame them for wanting to leave.

readster July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 (edited) I agree, most of the actors are already looking elsewhere or have other small roles they have been cast in. Best bet with ABC, just let it die, run off the last episodes and then be done with it. They tried but bad writing and actors seeming to act like they don't want to be there and this huge of a drop in ratings, time to consider it over.

Aloeonatable July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 I think the fact that several of the actors are getting/looking for other work has really nothing to do with the quality or lack of quality of the show. The show was filmed last year, so the actors would need to work in other projects to ensure a paycheck. The timing is what was the problem. Most mid season replacements air before the actors' contracts are up for renewal, so the issue of keeping certain actors is rarely a problem. With this being a summer show, ABC had to decide if the show was to return for a second season after only airing 5 episodes. If they renewed the contracts before the expiration date then they would have to do another season despite the ratings. This show will be done after it airs the 13 episodes it has already filmed because of the ratings, not because of the actors' seeming lack of interest. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/22315-the-whispers-in-the-media/#findComment-1292309

Stella MD July 29, 2015 Share July 29, 2015 Was it really pre-empted? The Bachelor/ette finales are always 3 hours long, so I would assume that the intention from the time the schedule was set was to use the 10-11 pm hour for the ATFR. In other words, this likely was not a response to the crappy ratings. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/22315-the-whispers-in-the-media/#findComment-1369112
