They transfered the black girl off after her first episode???


What happened? Did whatever Kellys realy name is just decide to do the show last minute

From what I read, Tiffani Amber Thiessen decided to come back and Essence Atkin's character was written out of the show.

they should have gotten rid of the Alex character instead. She was so damn annoying.

They should have NOT done this show period.

I liked Alex. She was like a female Screech. She did some ridiculous stuff.

Alex Tabor and Leslie Burke were two of the best characters on the show. Michael Rogers was also awesome.

The funny thing is that Essence has more acting credits then the girls on this show that they decided to keep. She's been in 3 different prime time shows since being fired from this show and guest starred in a lot of others and has even been in some films. Their resumes don't look nearly good as hers.

You're so right- every time I see Essence in a role- I think wow, she was fired from SBTBTCY and had no problem moving on! Inspiring.

I think they said she transferred to a new Dorm. Which is why Kelly was able to get into the room. I was like damn, I'm glad Kelly is back but why oh why did they get rid of the black girl.

Thats right, they could've kept Essence Atkins around as a recurring character at least. The six friends format might have worked in high school but they were supposed to venture out and meet new people during college.

The black girl played the older sister on Smart Guy that was on or just started when the College years were on maybe that's why they wrote her off saying her character went to a different dorm and Kelly came back in her spot.
