      How rude of you.

  • darclyte

    Mmmm, I’d sure love to run into her when they are filming around the City.

  • Jennifer

    Happy for her but still annoyed that The Forgotten got cancelled. It’s a true shame when a good show like that is thrown away.

    • Lisa

      Definitely. The Forgotten got better and better as the season went on. ABC dropped a good one when they shut it down.

      Yet another reason I don’t watch ABC anymore – they don’t offer anything worth viewing IMO.

      • Evan Meadow

        I’m just glad they gave Forgotten an ending. Course later airing the last two episodes months later (and also definitely out of sequence, where one of them was a direct lead in to the finale) wasn’t the smartest idea.

    I’m going to be watching this new t.v show. I have seen the t.v. promos for this new show! I’m sure that it will be good.

  • Anna

    The trailers I’ve seen so far for Detroit 187 are really good, hard- hitting, tough as nails kind of drama. Like Jennifer, I think The Forgotten should have gotten another season. That was such a well crafted show. I wish ABC could have tried airing a season of The Forgotten on Thursdays at 10pm following Rookie Blue to see if it would have picked up an audience during the summer season. Still, I did enjoy the final episodes they presented on a Saturday last month. They were outstanding. And I guess to ABC the bottom line must be if a program can’t grow out of the DWTS lead then its toast. Hopefully Detroit 187 will succeed. The cast is certainly impeccable.

    I wonder if her character is based on Kim Worthy???

  • Allen

    I think I am in love with Rochelle Aytes.
