Forever的被取消从相关的报导来看,似乎是非常意外的结果。
老实说,或许也很巧合,因为这是2014-15秋季档中唯一不是出自ABC自家的新剧(WBTV)
而从演员、剧组的反应也看得出来,他们似乎也感到很意外,而且后来收视情况有好转
因为WBTV在这之前已经非常努力的希望配合ABC让节目能够获得续约。
(最近的前例是在A&E的Longmire)
或许,还有最后一丝的希望就是WBTV跟其他(例如有线台)达成接手协议。
最后,附上Ioan致所有剧迷的回应
My dear friends, fans, supporters.
Tonight, as you all now know, I received a phone call that I was hoping not
to receive, and to be honest I really wasn’t expecting it. I knew the
numbers hadn’t been great, but I also knew the studio and the network both
loved the show, and of course that it had an incredible fan base…so I
thought we were in with a pretty good chance.
But sadly no, this time the cards weren’t dealt in our favor. Show business
is like that. Hell, life is like that. You ride to the top of the wave and
then you come crashing down again. I asked Alice to send out the sad news
because I was a little bit shaken up and needed time to gather my thoughts.
ABC's "Forever" - Season OneSo I sat down and started reading the thousands
of Tweets in response to the announcement. And the more I read, the more I
couldn’t believe it. The love, the sense of solidarity, the hope, the
kindness, the support. Not just for the show, but for each other. And slowly
I began to focus on what we had gained in the past year, rather than what we
had lost in the last five minutes. I was overcome by a sense of gratitude. To
have met you all and to have you all rooting for me and the show. At having a
chance to play the role of my dreams, even if it was only for a year. To have
been given the chance to bring Henry to life.
Watching the interaction of the FOREVER fans come together and share their
love for the show has been breath-taking. It was you guys who held me up when
I thought I could no longer go on. (Those days were LONG!) You made me smile
when you pointed out the little things I did on screen that I thought had
gone unnoticed. You gave me confidence when I accidentally found myself
reading less than shining reviews. You were always with me, every step of the
way, waving your flags, shouting your support for the show. It’s been an
incredible, wonderful year, one that I will never, ever forget.
And guess what? The memories belong to us. We get to keep them ‘forever!’
Thanks again a million times for your unwavering support. Stay strong, be
brave, and show kindness as often as you can!
