Disney Channel executives have devised a solution to a major programming dilemma: How do you produce new episodes of Demi Lovato's show, without Demi?The 18-year-old's recent retreat from the spotlight to enter rehab for "emotional and physical issues" seemed to put her series 'Sonny with a Chance' on hold indefinitely -- just as it was gearing up to resume production in mid-January for a third season.
Now, Variety is reporting that the network plans to stay on schedule, but rewrite scripts around guest stars and other characters in the ensemble, even though the show's first two seasons centered on the Sonny Monroe character, and the series (which premiered in February 2009) is a Demi Lovato vehicle.
The revamps in the writing will bring more focus to the show-within-the-show, 'So Random!', according to People.com.

It is about time that the media executives put money aside and consider the moral lessons that our kids get from these out of control prima donas. I would also like Miley Cyrus taken off the TV.

Actually Disney has been pimping out young girls to the viewing audiences for years and encouraging their erratic behavior to increase exposure. Disney has never had the best interests of their little girls (employees) at heart. Money is always the bottom line for any pimp...individual or corporate...I love this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via age'lessmate.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends..
You would also like Miley taken off? That statement seems to suggest that Disney forced her from the show. Here I thought that the article stated that Demi Lovato willingly entered rehab at the risk of losing her role on TV.
And please, let us here your reasons that you don't like Miley Cyrus. It's always entertaining to listen to one of the many people who have done nothing but jump on the anti-Cyrus bandwagon.
You are right
I'm with you Stelios. Never even heard the name until very recently and now she's in rehab? Miley posed almost nude and did several other provacative things while she was a child star. All of them need to find another profession and stay away from this limelight. I just find it unconscionable that these kids seem to thrive on going to rehab and doing other horrible things that kids shouldn't be involved in (nor should adults). They make too much money too quickly and have no clue how to handle themselves. Of course it's supply and demand and the kids pay the price to see these kids in concert, buy their records or watch their tv shows and the parents are to blame. IT'S HORRIBLE!!

I AGREE WITH YOU..OUR YOUNG CHILDREN COPY THIS BAD BEHAVIOR

I totally agree,Miss Cyrus should not be put on t.v. nor
stores like Walmart and Target. Unfortunately the stores
managers don't know about this. She should not be advertised
at all,a drug user is no one kids should admire.
Lovato is a drug user too,we all have seen videos of her
in several websites using drugs. The industry allows it
which is very bad and these kids' friends encourage them
to use them. If these 2 kids had more strict parents and
had more will power not to use drugs they would use their
heads and would not do them.
It's sad so many celebrity kids end up later all messed up.
Why not just replace her? Disney girls are a dime a dozen.

It's a shame that these girls don't see how beautiful they are. Demi is a beautiful girl, talented and I'm sure has some sort of support system. That she cuts herself to relieve her pain is awful, why isn't there someone to talk to instead of doing this to yourself? I realize that she's geting the help she needs, but wasn't there anyone that could have gotten through to her, somehow? I know growing up none of my friends would have put up with that crap and my mom would sure as crap not put up with it, my butt would so have been in rehab the minute they noticed any marks on me that were iffy, y'know?

It's not that easy. Perhaps her mom and friends didn't realize that she was cutting herself...Because usually, when you are driven to cutting yourself, you don't tell anybody. It's a sad secret that many people keep to themselves, unfortunately. It is really very admirable that she is seeking help.
Go Demi!
I love demi lavoto & I hope she gets better soon! :-)

Where does she cut herself at, Ive never noticed any markings on her arms, seen her in shorts before, seen her in belly shirts before....just wondering???

How often have you seen her in a short-sleeved shirt though? Most of the times I've seen her on the show, she was always wearing a jacket or or longer-sleeved clothing. There are plenty of covered-up spots she could be using. Not everyone goes for obvious places. I do hope she does stay with the treatment plan and gets better. I really like her.
they showed a close up photo of her left wrist, looked like deep cut marks.
Everyone is expendable.

No one is expendable! God loves each of us as if we are the only thing or person He ever created. For example, is the value of a person determined by how much wealth he or she has? Who are you to determine the value of a person?
@olan
I was referring to the workplace of course. I certainly agree with you otherwise, and thank you for correcting me.
No, olan5tops...everyone is expendable. God made us that way. Otherwise no one would die and the earth would be very, very overpopulated.
@Jemstone~ That is true, I was just wondering, you would think that someone would of said something about it by now, you know like the paparazzi or other inside sources. anyways I like her too and hope she gets better.
