We all know that Demi’s back in LA and looking forward to getting back to work. Will she be returning to Sonny with a Chance? Well… maybe.
The third season of Sonny isn’t really a third season of anything. It’s really a spin off of the Show within a show, So Random. Or should I say, “SO R@n:D0?!” It’s basically kid friendly Saturday Night Live, without the “live” part.
I was lucky enough to be able to attend the live audience filming of the fifth SR episode and it was pretty good. There’s no plot, like the Halloween and Christmas specials, it’s all sketches. Sonny is just gone and Chad is a regular on so Random. There’s no explanation given in the show itself, but it’s obviously because Demi’s not there and because they want to keep Sterling. Better to have chad out of character than to not have him at all, I suppose.
Demi is welcome to come back if she wants, but it sounds like they have the whole season planned out based on the assumption that she will not be there. I wouldn’t hold my breath for Sonny’s return. Even is she did, they’d probably just add her into the sketches and not address the plot points of the first and second seasons.
Also, Selena Gomez was this week’s musical guest. <3 I love her new song “Who Says,” but I think you could all guess I would say that.
I really hope you all give So Random a fair shake. It’s not the Sonny we know and love, but you guys didn’t see how hard they were working on this show. It really touched me and I’m so afraid that it’s gonna fall flat just because Demi’s not there.
