“We are no longer airing the episode on March 17, but we are not cancelling the show,” a representative for Crown Media, Hallmark’s parent company, told Variety. “The show is one of our best performers in the Sunday night slot, and were are exploring all sorts of creative options moving forward.”

Hallmark is SERIOUS about this. First she's fired, now they're pulling new episodes yet to air? Wow.

Well..almost every star on hallmark has a "clean wholesome image" for the most part. This is not surprising at all.

bummer, I liked her as an actress in shows and movies. She plays characters that are squeaky clean but keep in mind they don't call it "acting" for nothing. So apparently she is very good at it since in real life she was anything but.
I think it's a mistake on Hallmark's part.

I don't. I've always been a fan of hers but she shouldn't get away with being a criminal. If you read the conversations, she's just your run of the mill entitled rich person who thought nothing of what she did.

Maybe I'm naive as parent to a younger elementary kid, but what parents let their kids watch this vapid crap?

You're naive. Most of em are watching this vapid crap, it's depressing.

Good question.

There’s lots of discussion of Felicity in both this thread and the college one. But there’s more for Lori because her crime was way bigger - I think $500,000 in bribes compared to Felicity? Correct me if I’m wrong. And Lori’s daughter is super public and out there and obnoxious, so there’s much more to discuss.

I just can't get over how cheap and stupid they were. When you want to pay to play, you do it the legal way and shell out multi-millions. Pretty sure they would have gotten a legal tax deduction for that too even though they would have received college entrance in exchange. At least that way not only is it legal, but you contribute to society in a decent way and may help others.

Donating to get you dumb kid into college shouldn’t be legal. It’s not much better than what they did.

I disagree. You like having a gorgeous campus with beautiful buildings? Rick people with dumb as rocks kids pay for a lot of that. Those kids come and make the atmosphere lighter and less intense and they are happy to be at the bottom. Look at high schools like TJ where everything is based on smarts only. You have way too many kids thinking about suicide and/or suffering signs of mental illness because they cannot handle being in the bottom half. Kids who's parents donate millions are happy as can be to party their way into the bottom with a smile on their face and some beer in their hands.

In the words of plenty of posters on here, they still took someone’s spot. What about the poor student whose parents couldn’t afford to donate. Now they have to go to a public college and never succeed. And you cannot speak for every college about the rich kids there. There are plenty wasting everyone’s time and taking up a space that could’ve went to a student who actually wants to be there. There are plenty who are stressed bc their parents expect results and for them to follow in their steps. There are plenty partying and making poor decisions that are effecting other students lives.

It doesn't mean your child would get in even if these kids didn't go. The difference is this was paid to individuals profiting from it and they were lying to get kids admitted, not rich parents donating lots of money to a school to get the kids in. I think its ok to donate lots of money to a private school to get your kid accepted, but not a publicly funded one. Reality is that is how the world works and that's how things get paid for.

If what they did was wrong then so is dontating money to get your kid in. That money is not only going to the wing of a new building with your name on it. It’s also being passed around. If you are donating bc it’s your alma mater and you want to help then fine, but if you are donating with the caveat that your dumb child will be admitted, when in reality they shouldn’t be, then you aren’t any better than Lori or Felicity. Tomato/tomahto.

Reality is that ppl find ways to go around the system. Donating is one of those ways and it doesn’t make it right.

Colleges are businesses. They are out to make money even if they are non-profit. Just like private schools, PTA's and more, they rely on donations.

Yeah, you know that’s not really why. Look at the title of the threads in Entertainment.

It’s bc Felicity is ugly; plain and simple. There is nothing ppl love more than the fall of an attractive, rich person.

It’s all in the thread in the college forum. Guy who the Feds were talking to because of securities fraud gave up the Yale soccer coach and that’s what started it.

There was a investor who was being investigated for a "pump and dump" stock violation who ratted on the Yale coach who was taking bribes in an attempt to get leniency on the stock charges.
