I DON'T GET WHY DEMI CAN'T COME BACK TO THE SHOW


I don't get why Demi can't come back and be on the show again, I know she isn't going to be on season 2 because she was filming Camp Rock and now she is going on to her own show: Welcome to Mollywood which they will start filming in March 2009, but I don't get why she can't be on this show because this show filming the entire 15-18 episode season only takes 2 weeks and they film it in August. I checked the filming dates for Welcome to Mollywood and they are going to film the whole season at one time from March-June and since they film ATBR in August why can't she come back to the show?? I know she is on the rise to become a big disney star but what trouble is it to just take two weeks and go film as the bell rings?

she also filmed another DCOM in Puerto Rico called "Princess Protection Program" with Selena Gomez.

Apparently the show only hires union actors, who can only do union projects. Camp Rock was not a union project, and hence, she was fired. But she doesn't need this show anyway. It sucks balls. She seems to be moving on to bigger and better things - Camp Rock, Mollywood, PPP, and CR2 next year.

I'm not sure how accurate that explanation is, but nonetheless, I believe you have
it backwards. As the Bell Rings is a NON-union show while Camp Rock was a UNION project. While non-union actors can do union projects, the reverse is usually not the case. Since Demi became a UNION actress, she can't do NON-union shows. Again, I'm not sure if all that's true (it sounds plausible though), but that's the corrected explanation anyway.

i don't belive the whole union and nonunion has anything to do with demi lovato. i think she just wanna get onto bigger things than just be a on a 5 minutes show that comes on randomly
