Even though Stella survived cancer, her show Life Sentence will not live to see a second season. Lucy Hale broke the news on Twitter today, “I was emotionally attached to this story and to everyone involved so I am a little shell shocked right now, but I feel fortunate that we got to tell a really beautiful story.”
It really is a beautiful story that, like her, I wish could have continued. Sadly though, people were not watching this heartwarming family drama. That is what made this show so wonderful, it was about a family who truly loved each other during the good times and the bad ones. I guess people would rather watch the murder of the week, than a well-written heartfelt drama. Their loss and ours too.
At least we have a few more episodes, Fridays at 9p, to enjoy before it goes to TV heaven
UPDATE: The CW has also cancelled the military drama Valor after one short season.
Last week on Life Sentence, Aiden (Jayson Blair) and Stella (Lucy Hale) were arrested and tonight at 9p on The CW he finds out his fate.
The Abbott family rallies together to help Aiden out of his mess while dealing with their own. Stella and Wes (Elliot Knight) are still trying to figure out where their relationship stands after she told Dr. Grant (Riley Smith) that he understands her better than her husband. When the couple winds up at the same bar that the doctor is playing with his band, everything comes to head. You’ll never believe what happens next?
Lizzie (Brooke Lyons) and Diego (Carlos PenaVega) have their own problems because the school wants to leave back one of the twins. They do not know what to do, so Diego is asking anyone and everyone what they think?
If that is not enough, things are not looking good for Aiden. And being sentenced to jail is not the worst thing that will happen to him tonight.
Did I mention Stella lost her job at the coffee shop because of the arrest? She is going to do everything in her power to get her job back, but the manager does not want to give it to her.
Tonight is not a good night for the Abbotts, but at least they still have each other. Or do they? You don’t want to miss another great episode of the heart-warming show you should be watching. Why aren’t you watching?
Tonight at 9p on The CW, Wes and Stella have a new problem in their marriage, his ex. Will it end their Life Sentence together?
Wes (Elliot Knight) has been working nights and Stella (Lucy Hale) has been working days, so they are out of synch. She decides to plan a trip to Paris to get their love back on track, but a knock on their door changes everything. Pippa, his ex, has come to visit and she reveals a big secret about her breakup with Wes. One that will change their marriage forever. Could the news be so big that it will end their 6-month marriage?
Meanwhile, her dad (Dylan Walsh) is dealing with his new girlfriend, who has much more energy than him. His son, Aiden (Jayson Blair), has been keeping the secret that he and his dad’s girlfriend slept together a few months ago. When Aiden accidentally reveals that information to his mom (Gillian Vigman), he begs her to keep it quiet. She is so jealous of her husband’s new girlfriend, even though she has one of her own, she might not be able to keep it. How long will Aiden’s secret one?
I do not know why you are not watching this show because it is full of heart, it is hard not to heart it. Therefore, I implore you to check it out.
Also at 9p but over one USA. we see a young Louis and Harvey on the show for two different reasons on Suits.
Louis (Rick Hoffman) has regrets over sleeping with Shelia, who is about to marry another man, because he is not a bad boy. Something that has haunted him since he was teen. He will remember his teen years and we will see how it all started. As he looks into his past, it will change his future. What that means you will have to tune in to find out how.
Meanwhile, Jessica (Gina Torres) tells Harvey (Gabriel Macht) she needs $2 million dollars and she needs it now. There is only one person he can get the cash from and he will have to give up something very personal to him. Something from his past that he loves more than everyone in his life now. Is he ready to do it?
What made this episode different is we get to see a different side of our two leads. By looking into their past, we understand their present even more. After nearly 8 seasons, I like that Suits can still surprise us.
Tonight at 9p on The CW, Stella (Lucy Hale) continues to find out what in her life is real after being diagnosed as cancer free on Life Sentence.
Last week, Stella found out she was not dying of cancer and that should mean that her life would be even better. It is the complete opposite for her because her whole family has been lying to her since she was diagnosed 8 years ago. She found out that her parents (Dylan Walsh and Gillian Vigman) hate each other, her father is broke from paying all of her medical bills and will have to sell their house, her sister (Brooke Lyons) hates her life and her brother (Jayson Blair) avoided living one and knocked up a married woman.
This week, she has to deal with her parents fighting over selling the house and they take their anger to a whole new level. Her mother cannot wait to get rid of the house and does not tell anyone why. Causing her family to turn against her. While her dad will do anything to keep it. Can they come up with a much needed compromise?
Aiden still will not talk to his baby mama and figure out what to do next. Therefore, Stella decides to jump in and make him deal with it. Will he still find a way to avoid it?
The worst of it all is that immigration is trying to find out her marriage to Wes (Elliot Knight) is real. If they think that it is not legit, he will be deported. She has not had to face real issues since she is 15, so she keeps screwing up. Will it cost her marriage? Why did Wes really marry her after only dating for a month? Was it to get to America? What do they really know about each other and can they handle the truth?
It is a lot for her to handle and she still has to go to work every day. Who knew getting a new lease on life would be so difficult? And yet, watching this show is so easy because it is so endearing and fun to watch.
Tonight at 9p on The CW, get to know Life Sentence on The CW because you will not regret it. For the last 8 years, Stella (Lucy Hale) was prepared to die and now she is being told her cancer is in remission. Seems like that would be the best thing ever for her and her family? Guess again.
When Stella was diagnosed with cancer, her doctor told her family to make her life perfect for her. That positivity could help her possibly help her beat it and that is exactly what they did for her. When she finished chemo about a year beforehand, they sent her to Paris. While she was there she met her husband, Wes (Elliot Knight). He too did everything for her like giving her candle sex every night because it might be her last.
When she finds out she is going to live, she tells her family and they are all excited for her. It is the next day that she finds out the truth. Her mom (Gillian Vigman) and dad (Dylan Walsh) have not been happy for ages and they decide to split. In fact, her mom has been in love with her best friend, Poppi (Claudia Rocafort), and now they are finally acting on their feelings. Her married sister (Brooke Lyons), hates her kids and her job. She only had kids because she wanted her parents to be happy while her sister was dying. Her brother (Jayson Blair) gave up on life when he thought his sister was not going to have one. To make matters worse, her dad says they are going to have to sell the house to pay for her all of her medical bills.
That is a lot for Stella to handle and you thought dying was the worse thing she ever had to deal with. Now that her family and her husband can be themselves around her, they are all going to have to adjust to her life sentence. Can they do it?
You will not want miss this sweet drama that no matter how bad things get, they are still a family. Which is why I say it is a feel good show. But then again, Hale’s huge puppy dog eyes make everything seem like it is going to be OK in no matter what role she plays.
