TV show description:
Created by Tyler Perry, this dramatic TV show follows the complicated dynamic between the rich and powerful Cryer family of Savannah, Georgia and the hired help who work in their opulent mansion.
From the outside, the Cryers are the enviable face of success and wealth, but behind the veil, the family’s dysfunction threatens to destroy their world of privilege. Cryer family patriarch Jim Cryer (John Schneider) is a powerful judge whose double life, including tawdry affairs with high-priced escorts, puts his family and political ambitions at risk.
His wife is Katheryn Cryer (Renée Lawless), the ultimate matriarch. She portrays a loving and dutiful wife, but she’s willing to do anything to protect her family’s status.
Their son Wyatt (Aaron O’Connell) is a troubled, angry jock who cares little for his own image and finds himself in and out of rehab. His sister, Amanda (Jacyln Betham), a struggling law student, tries harder to live up to her parents’ expectations. Unknowingly, she’s befriended a scurrilous young woman, Candace Young (Tika Sumpter), with the power to ruin the entire family.
The Cryers’ maid and the matriarch of her family is Hanna Young (Crystal Fox). Despite having no money, she has found other types of wealth through religion and virtue.
Hanna prides herself on her dutiful son, Benny (Tyler Lepley), the glue who helps keep the family together. Hanna does have one dark secret, however — her estranged daughter, Candace, a manipulative opportunist who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
In a bizarre coincidence, Candace is shocked to find out that her newfound friend Amanda’s father is Jim Cryer, the very man who has been paying her for sex and who also employs Candace’s mother as his family’s maid. Armed with this knowledge, the stage is set for what will be, in Candace’s eyes, the opportunity of a lifetime.
Other characters in the series include the Cryers’ chef Celine (Eva Tamargo); their wealthy friends Veronica (Angela Robinson) and David Harrington (Peter Parros); and Wyatt Cryer’s rehabilitation counselor, Jeffery Harrington (Gavin Houston).
Episode #196 — Dark Intentions
Veronica does whatever it takes to get what she wants.
First aired: July 20, 2021.
What do you think? Do you like The Haves and the Have Nots TV show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a ninth season?
Tyler Perry needs deep deep therapy. First, his obsession with male on male graphic sex..second, his obsession with total dysfunction, and third, his obsession with death and killing. I have NEVER seen a series ending where ALL of the main characters..except Hannah got killed in so many different ways. In light of the murderous nature of today’s society, what he did was glorify the actions..Horrible. At least, there can be no renewal as the dummy (Perry) killed off the entire cast!!!
I think it should have been anothet season. I want to see if Kandis ended up on the white house.
Please don’t cancel. I look forward to watching this every Tuesday night
Pleas don’t cancel the haves and the have not. Love that night soap.
I think you should keep going There are a lot of soaps that are still running
Like many, I am saddened. I’ve followed this show since it’s beginning; and truthfully it, along with Greenleaf and Queen Sugar are the primary reason I pay extra to have OWN. Would love if they could stay and/or return.
I love the show I think it could should continue forever just like the daytime soap operas, it’s good for every culture generation to watch the show and learn
I love that show that is only reason I look at that channel.
Love it! Please renew but please speed up the pace. I find it too slow moving at times.
Keep it on.
I think that it should be Renewed. I like it, it is good show to watch and it’s funny at times but you can’t just leave us hanging when Kathrine in jail, then Candace might be pregnant and Benny with him buying a new house and David having feelings for Hanna.I thin David and Hanna should have a relationship and Candace should be pregnant so she can start over at being a Mom and Benny with him on him own with a new house and dating his Realtor.
I love this show!! Why is it ending? It’s great and only getting better. I mean is he just going to leave Katherine in jail? This is terrible One of my favorite shows. Tyler please don’t cancel the show. PLEASE.
I love it. Haven’t missed any.
Omg I’ve been watching the haves and the have nots since season 1, Atleast please finish season 9 wayyyyyyu too much to happen. Please please !!! And open up season 8 and 9 on HULU
The word ***** is used entirely too much. I enjoy the show but I think there is just too much disrespect towards women, Also like Eddie we are sick of Jim
