Life Unexpected and One Tree Hills fans have been an unhappy bunch following the CW's non-inclusion of their favorite shows on its first list of early renewals that featured Gossip Girl, America's Next Top Model, Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, and 90210.
Life Unexpected, the charming freshman series about a charming little foster care product Lux (Britt Robertson), has gotten rave reviews from critics and last week posted its best ratings in almost a month at 2 mil, continuing its successful hold of One Tree Hill's audiences over the weeks.
The cold shoulder from the netlet then was largely unexpected. Good news for Life Unexpected fans: CW President Dawn Ostroff kind of agrees.
"Creatively,
Life Unexpected is in a great place, and it's doing well," she tells E! Online. "It had a really good night last night, and we've been airing it twice a week, and we get as many viewers sometimes on the second run as we do on the first run--it's not duplicated viewers, it's new viewers.
LUX is actually doing quite well for us. We're very proud of the show.
"I would say it's got a real shot at this point," she finally says.
Melrose Place doesn't appear to be as lucky. Unless its numbers undergo a major turnaround, expect things to go downward for the reboot.
"We hope
Melrose Place picks up steam," she says. "We're gonna air all the episodes in a row. We've made the show a little bit lighter, a little happier, a little brighter, and I think we've made some good creative changes. We're going to see how the audience responds."
