Happy’s Place has changed casting before a character’s arrival on the NBC series. Emma Kenney (The Conners, above) is joining the series as the daughter of Reba McEntire’s character, Bobbie. She is replacing the previously cast Elizabeth Alderfer.
McEntire, Belissa Escobedo, Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk, and Rex Linn star in the sitcom, which follows a woman (McEntire) who has inherited her father’s bar after his death only to learn she is now running it with a half-sister (Escobedo) she never knew she had.
Gracie McAllister (Kenney) will first be seen in the January 10th episode of the NBC sitcom, according to TV Line. Her character is tough (like her mother), serving in the military, and has been deployed overseas. She has just gone on leave and is returning home to Knoxville to visit her mother.
Happy’s Place airs on Friday nights on NBC. The series returns from a holiday hiatus on January 3rd.
What do you think? Have you been enjoying this NBC sitcom? Are you excited to see Kenney guest on the series?
Belissa needs to be recast with Melissa Peterson!
Yes love show
Oh no! Don’t like her so I won’t watch anymore.
Unfortunately I don’t like the Connors. So yeah I actually liked Happy’s place and adding the girl from the Connors is a great way to get me to stop watching happy’s place.
Also apparently I am not allowed to post this comment for some reason.
I don’t find it funny at all. I tried watching a couple of episodes. The half sister needs to go. She’s not suited for the show. The whole show needs an overhaul. It can be canceled and I wouldn’t notice it being gone
I agree. The sister needs to go. She is annoying.
I am not a fan of the sister in this show. Her role, her character and her attitude are negatives with me. This is surprising because I liked her in Beauty and the Baker.
Renew
The show has really good parts but not impressed with half sister’s character. Either replace her or eliminate.
LOVE Reba!!! She is one of my favorite people.
I hope they keep the show.
Not my favorite
Love this show.
No on both questions
I don’t like the character played by Belissa Escobedo. The show would be better without her.
I love this show and everyone in it!!
Love the show!!
Love the show. Love Reba on anything. Great cast of characters.
