When this program first started, I thought--what is the purpose of this show? With the exception of Olivia Holt and Austin North,the cast was as boring as boring can be. The stories were dull,there was no goal, no theme to the show. It was, until the second season an all white cast with pure vanilla acting. Then the best thing happened, they added the character "Betty." That black actress added life, zing,and much needed humor to a sad show. Betty has injected energy into the show. The young actors now have an adult pro to play off of. As the antagonist Betty forces the other characters to deal with her. She has timing and attitude, now the whole cast has better timing and spunk. There just might be some hope for this show after all.
