Let's Stay Together: Who are the Actors on This Sitcom


Let's Stay Together is a new sitcom that BET is launching in 2011. Read more to learn about the cast and the characters on this program.

Let's Stay Together promises to be a fun comedy sitcom airing on BET (http://www.bet.com) for 2011. The clips advertising Let's Stay Together show that there will be witty banter between the characters and a lot of drama. This sitcom has a cast of actors who are no strangers to film and television. The clips show that there is a rapport between them that will bring good entertainment.

"Jamal" is Played by RonReaco Lee
RonReaco Lee plays "Jamal." We know Lee from the sitcoms Sister Sister and Girlfriends, and movies such as Guess Who (2005) and Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail (2009). Based on what BET.com shares, Jamal is a legal aid attorney in his twenties who is married to the character "Tasha." In the  dvertisements, Jamal talks a lot about romance and even states that women want "good food, candlelight ...you have to soothe her into submission." Jamal is the father of twins with a wife who demands what she wants. In one of the commercials, Jamal tells Tasha that he does her hair which shows how dedicated he is to his wife.

Let's Stay Together's Housewife, "Tasha"
The spicy Tasha, Jamal's wife, is played by Joyful Drake. BET promises that this character will offer a lot of 'drama' to the show. In one clip from the show, Tasha is seen asking her Dad for money. BET.com shares that she is a housewife but one with flair and style. One of the advertisements has her complaining about Jamal preparing a picnic for her in the park. Tasha has no qualms in saying that she made him take her to 'a real restaurant.' Joyful Drake has acted in several movies including Phat Girlz (2006) with Mo'Nique and Beauty Shop (2005) with Queen Latifah.

Nadine Ellis is on Let's Stay Together
"Stacy Lawrence" is Tasha's sister and the fiance of "Charles Whitemore". Stacy is played by Nadine Ellis who has had roles in Hairspray (2007) and Idlewild (2006) with Big Boi and Dre also called Andre 3000 from the hip hop duo Outkast. Originally Malinda Williams was slated for  this character, according to Erica Hubbard's news page and to Gina DiNunno's April 7, 2010 article on TV Guide, BET Orders Comedy Pilot. Stacy is older than Charles and apparently makes more money than he does. BET.com shares that Stacy is a "conservative, independent woman."

BET Brings Us Bert Belasco as "Charles Whitemore"
"Charles Whitemore" is a strong character who works as a contractor. His love is Stacy but his views on love are funny. Charles seems to think that women want a man that is in control when it comes to sex. This character also admits that he has a comic book collection in one of the ads for the show. Charles is played by Bert Belasco who has appeared on
House.

Erica Hubbard and Her Character's 'Mancation'
The woman who claims that she is on a 'mancation' is Charles' sister, "Kita Whitemore." Erica Hubbard (http://www.ericahubbard.com/), from Save the Last Dance (2001) and Light It Up (1999), plays Kita and brings a different type of drama than Tasha does. Kita does not seem to hate men but she seems to want to take a break from serious relationships for a while. One of the clips from the Let's Stay Together shows Kita talking to a character played by America's Next Top Model supermodel and actress, Eva Pigford. They meet at an event and Kita is talking about a man that she dated that was married.

Let's Stay Together seems to bring romance and comedy for viewers looking for a new fun sitcom to watch. Airing on January 11 on BET, the promotions for Let's Stay Together have everyone in high gear to be entertained by this group of young, experienced and talented actors.
