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?

Alright ABC you must listen to the viewers in all truth and reality we control what is depicted and broadcast on networks. Simply put if you dont give us a series or show we want to see then you loose your audience and i feel that in making this terribly premature decision will result in loosing your viewers including myself. Lincoln Heights was the sole purpose that i even watched your network. Consider the impact of this decision We the people can and should express our opinions and turn them into results a Perfect example is the BET series Called… Read more »
I knew at some point this show would have to be cancelled. After all, those kids are growing up. Heck, Cassie in real life is 31. ( look it up on IMDB, if you don’t believe me). I loved the show. Athough, I thought they started to lose their way with way too much singing from Lizzie and Taylor. it was a great show, lots of fun drama and young love. I loved the johnny knightingale storyline, it kind of snuck up on me. He started out as annoying, then you just loved the character. I am very disappointed that… Read more »

yes of course i am pissed off that they canceled it. i got people watching it and they want to cancel. lincoln heights is the best show ever how can they do such a thing. that really makes me mad. i dont think they thought of how the viewers would feel if they cancel it. they just need to bring it back thats all i have to say….. i really love this show.
Awwww!!! This is the saddest news I have received in a while about a tv show cancellation, besides 24. It just does not seem right. Wow, this gave most of the characters a good chance to get their acting up and truly running. It would be so nice for the producers, writers or whoever is in charge to at least alert the audience, not just quit cold turkey, like it was a cigarette or something. There are some of us out here that actually enjoy just a clean, good show and lincoln heights provided just that. Can someone please reconsider,… Read more »
they never should have canceeled lincoln heights. its one of the few shows acutally based on real life and that everyone of all ages could relate to. ABC is messed up for taking it off. the show was amazing and i wish that they would bring it back along with wildfire which was also a great show. i dont understand why ABC or any other station would want to take shows off that we actually relate too? sure gossip girl (the cw) is great but not realistic i would prefer to just have Lincoln Heights or Wildfire back i could… Read more »
