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.
