Was Carolyn Whats Happening Now's answer for Little Earl (Whats Happening)? The annoying little kid that always spoke out of turn with corny lines that only a kid could pull off? I can't pinpoint what it is but Carolyn's character could have been ommited from the show.
I havent seen the show in YEARS. I just rented Season 1 from NETFLIX because I just watched all my Old School WHATS HAPPENING sets. I dontr emember much about the show but I DO remember NOT liking the little girl. Sant remember if she was a foster child or their niece or what. I know she wasnt Rajs birth daughter.
Here is that rare instance where I think it would have been better for Raj and Nadine to have just had a baby. It didnt bother me so much that Raj was married, but having the kid seemed a little "forced" to me.
The actors who played both Carolyn and Little Earl were pretty bad. Danielle Spencer may've not been a great actress, but at least she had a lot of charisma.
Carolyn was a tad forced, guess they were trying to bring in the kid demographic.
But I liked the whole gang as grown up, especially Dwayne. They written some alright stories for him, falling in love with that El Salvadorian girl, trying to get a raise.
I think it would have been good if they had some type of finale were Raj got some type of big writing break.

They didn't think they would get canceled. I mean they gave She's The Sheriff a second season in 88-89 but canceled What's Happening Now. That was just plain unfair!
One reason it was cancelled was due to the extremely high salary demands of the actor who played ReRun. He also was becoming very difficult to work with, most likely because of an addiction to cocaine.
Rerun appeared too corny in this series. The writers seem to just create mediocre lines for him because he was on contract. He left the show mid-season 2 or 3, can't remember for sure, because of that salary dispute. Carolyn was written out too which was for the best.
Fred Berry didnt bring much, if anything, to the show. Only the opportunity for the writers to overkill his eating habits in order to get laughs. Instead it was just sad.
Carolyn was a tad forced, guess they were trying to bring in the kid demographic.
Looking back at my post, I think the Carolyn character was there cause the adopted kid-schtick was a trend (ie. Diffrent Strokes, Webster, Punky Brewster).
