Actress Loretta Devine shares insights into the creative conflicts that led to the cancellation of the Lifetime series 'Client List.' Devine reveals that Jennifer Love Hewitt, the show's lead actress and producer, attempted to drastically change the show's direction midway through its run by incorporating her real-life relationship with co-star Brian Hallisay into the narrative.
There have been reports of friction between actors and producers on the set of various television shows, and the series seemed to be no exception. Actress Loretta Devine , who played Georgia Cummings on the show, recently shed some light on the behind-the-scenes drama during an interview with People magazine at the American Black Film Festival Honors in Los Angeles.
Devine revealed that Jennifer Love Hewitt, the show's lead actress and a producer, attempted to drastically change the direction of the series midway through its run. She expressed excitement about the show's initial trajectory, only to have it abruptly altered by Hewitt's desire to incorporate her real-life relationship with co-star Brian Hallisay into the narrative. While Devine didn't explicitly state that she disapproved of Hewitt's decision, her comments hinted at some level of dissatisfaction. She noted that the show was canceled after just two seasons, which could be attributed, at least in part, to the creative differences and restructuring. The abrupt cancellation left many fans disappointed, as the series had garnered a considerable following. Devine's comments have reignited discussions about the challenges of balancing personal lives with professional obligations in the entertainment industry.The show's demise was reportedly caused by a clash between Hewitt's vision and the showrunners'. Hewitt, who was pregnant during filming, was unhappy with the decision to have Colin Egglesfield, her on-screen love interest, be the father of her character's child. She reportedly insisted on incorporating her real-life relationship with Hallisay into the storyline. The showrunners, however, were hesitant to make such a significant change, leading to a standoff. Hewitt's desire to blur the lines between her personal and professional lives ultimately contributed to the show's demise.
