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 cannot believe that this show is over I just started watching it this season not knowing it would be cancelled the other day. It was like an ending to my weekday everynight. I was so upset when it didnt come on thursday, hoping nothing happened to one of the cast members. I have not liked a show so much since I used to watch the daytime stories many years ago. I cannot believe it! I am so through with getting attached to tv shows that cancel without an explanation, this is not good! I wish I knew who was… Read more »
the fianale showed thursday, i just started watching it and fell in love with it, and i just started so i missed 3 seasons. i hate that tv1 started on 4th season..
Man I really like the show. They should have an appropriate finale so they don’t leave us hanging.
This is a typical move by the abc network to cancel a black positive show. I am not surprised by this decision because we still live in a racist society.

its really sad that they canceled this show. It somewhat reminded me of the Cosby show being that it dealt with issues that kids really face today. It was great to see another black family that portrayed in a positive light. Honestly we need more of that.
