Before news of the show’s official cancelation, fans were already speculating the show would be ending soon. After all, with the announcement of a new soap opera, something would have to leave to make room on the schedule.

Holly Robinson Peete, who had been one of the show’s earlier hosts, also talked about the cancelation. As noted by TV Insider, she was noted as saying, “I’m so sorry that you’re not continuing, that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me but that’s a whole other story.”

However, she also acknowledged how grateful she was to be part of it. As she shared, “At the end of the day, it’s great to have been on the first show and on one of the last shows.”
