It was recently revealed that ABC Family had decided to cancel Lincoln Heights after four seasons. What do the actors think about the news, that they won’t be going back to film a fifth round of episodes? The answer might surprise you.
Lincoln Heights revolves around Officer Eddie Sutton (Russell Hornsby) and his family who move back to his old neighborhood. The rest in the cast include Erica Hubbard, Nikki Micheaux, Rhyon Brown, Mishon Ratliff, Robert Adamson, and Michael Reilly Burke.
Fans of the ABC Family series may be very upset that Lincoln Heights isn’t continuing but some of the actors seem to be okay with it. While they’re disappointed that their time on the series is over, they’re mostly grateful to have been a part of it.
Adamson, who plays neighbor and boyfriend Charles Antoni on the show, wrote, “I haven’t posted my thoughts about the recent Cancellation of Lincoln Heights, simply because I haven’t really known what to say. I am at peace with it. All good things must come to an end and Lincoln Heights was a great thing. I was given a character of real depth and purpose, not simply a pawn or tool to push a storyline or agenda. You have no idea how rare that is for a man of my age. I believe the story has been told. It was told with passion, vigor, and with the committed convictions of the writers. They were all unique with a dedicated voice. I only ever wanted to be truthful in my portrayal of Charles, because I have so much respect for the hardworking cast and crew. I learned much. I’m sure there are those out there who are disappointed with ABC Family’s decision to pull the show. Don’t be. TV/Film Entertainment is a business. The show is and will remain a success.”
Brown posted a video on YouTube to express her feelings. Take a look…
What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with the actors? Are you upset that the show is over or just thankful that it survived for four seasons?

I’m very disappointed in abc family for cancelling Lincoln Heights. I love the positive African American family dealing with raising three kids in a inner city neighborhood, that had a Latino and African American population which is very realistic in the inner cities across America now! Especially dealing with the effect of gangs, Latino and African American gang members fighting amongst each other. Drugs and crime in Americas inner city middle class neighborhoods. But also showing that people care about their communities like the Suttons and want to bring change and a positive atmoasphere back to their neighborhood and make… Read more »
Omg….I was jsut googling about the show, wondering when will it be back b/c I LOVED it, and I see its cancelled, that sucks! We should really start a petition to get the show back on.
I just began watching Lincoln Heights reruns over the past year…I am all caught up…As soon as I get to season 4 finale…its cancelled…How can you cancel a show that is still winning awards for this network…I’m disgusted…everytime I get into a show it is cancelled..SPEECHLESS!!!
i mean if there going to cancel the show out of nowhere they could at least of had a good seasen finale instead that stupid last eoisode where we dont even know whats gonna happen after that i mean it was so stupid the way they just said oh we are gonna cancel the show and not even have a good season finale.
Loved Lincoln Heights! Was one of the best shows on tv. Would at least like to see a finale.
i hate this show so much the story line sucks and the mom doesn’t match the family. But it is addicting i have to watch it they should it least have the 5th season the last one and cancel it the right way
Please do not cancel the show it is one of the best shows on TV.
for all you lincoln heights lovers keep watching lincoln heights on tv one at 4:oo pm and 11:00 pm the more viewers the more they might change their mind.
ABC made a big mistake cancelling the show. I’ve been watching since the beginning and I’m very upset that there will not be a fifth season. Lincoln Heights was uplifting entertainment with realistic stories that perple could relate too. Lincoln Heights also gave us a look at how some commumities are on a negitive level, and how they could be on a positive level. I will definately include Lincoln Heights in our movie collection. BIG MISTAKE ABC!
good im glad ur doing something about and telling abc family directly they may not bring it back but at least they will realize the very huge mistake they made.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE WHOLE CAST THEY ARE VERY GOOD ACTORS AND I LOVE THE STORY LINE OF LINCOLN HIEGHTS, WE NEED MORE POSTIVE ROLES OF THAT KIND OF STORY, WIH BLACKS AND WHITES GETTING ALONG , AND ABOUT HOW REGULAR POLICEMEN INTERACT WITH THIER FAMILYS AND NIEGBORS, I JUST LOVE IT I WILL CONTINUE WATCHING THE RERUNSON TV ONE AND IS LOOKING FORWARD TPO SEEING ALL THE THE CAST IN DIFFERNT SHOWS SO TO ALL OF THA CAST BREAK A LEG AND CNTINUE THE GOOD WORK.
I am HIGHLY upset that ABC opted to cancel Lincoln Heights. Not since Soul Food have I seen a show depicting a Black family in such a positive light: an honest cop for a father, a community-minded nurse for a mother, and three talented children, all who move back to “the hood”. This move, just after the show won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Dramatic Series. In addition to this post, I also plan to write the “suits” of ABC Family directly. It may not help but I want them to know what a huge mistake they are making.
abc family did a very big mistake by canceling lincoln heights its a great show and they should of had season 5 because we only get to see lizzie’s relationship with andrew for one season if there was a season 5 we would have seen them progress its really disapointing and i hope abc family sees this post and maybe rethink the canceling of lincoln heights i really love that show!
If you want another season let abc know!!! Please ABC give your viewers season 5.…
I have been watching Lincoln heights since it started and it’s crazy how abc decides to cancelled the show. They just made alot of people upset! It is a great show and to be honest everytime I watch it teaches me something everytime. The cast was great! Hope abc changes there mind and gives their viewers a fifth season!!!!!!!!
Much love,
Felicia
