Well, here’s some bummer news: The L.A. Complex — the Canadian soap that aired for two seasons on The CW here in the United States — has been canceled, HollywoodLife.com has confirmed.

The second season finale, which turned out to be the series finale, left fans totally hanging about the future of the show’s main characters. HollywoodLife.com spoke with Cassie Steele about her character Abby’s decision to leave Hollywood behind in favor of a life with her new husband in Germany.

At the time, Cassie was “pretty optimistic” about a third season, but unfortunately, we won’t be getting it after all.

The news was original reported by Canada’s Playback.

When we first met Abby (Cassie Steele) on The L.A. Complex, she was a starry-eyed girl ditching her Canadian boyfriend for the lights and promises of Los Angeles. But the second season finale found Abby coming full circle, choosing to leave L.A. behind for a new life in Germany with husband Gray (Steve Byers). Cassie spoke to HollywoodLife.com about Abby’s departure and the prospects of a third season for the fan-favorite drama.

That finale was nuts. What was your initial reaction to it?

“Even when [the cast] read the scripts, we were floored. But I do like that everything’s really flexible. Every character still has a lot of options, which is great, because so many things can happen.”

And how did you feel about Abby choosing Gray over L.A.?

“Well, she really did [come full circle.] She found someone she totally connects with, and I was excited to play a big romance.”

I’m sure those scenes with Steve must be so hard for you, always going from beds to hot tubs.

[Laughs] “They’re pretty awesome. We had a bubble machine at one point. It was too much fun.”

So you enjoyed their whirlwind romance?

“Oh, yeah, I just went with it. I’ve never been married [on TV] before, so I said, ‘Let’s do this!’ It’s really crazy, but it happened. And as crazy as it is, being a fighter pilot and all that kind of makes sense. The stakes are much higher for her.”

Well, you almost got married on TV once, right? Manny and Jay?

“Oh my God, I wasn’t going to say that. We never got married, just engaged.”

And on the flip side, Abby was never really engaged. It was just ‘Will you marry me?’ and then you were married.

“Precisely! It was just a drive to Vegas.”

In your mind, is Abby giving up acting, or just putting it on hold?

“I think it’s just on hold. Abby’s a free spirit, and she’s always been really strong and positive. She doesn’t let anything get her down. Everything about Gray looks so appealing, but after this life experience, I’m sure she’ll want to go back. What else is she going to do?”

Aside from Abby’s move, it seemed like the big stand-out moment was Kaldrick coming out online. How did you feel about that?

“I really liked it. I think everybody wanted that to happen. That’s where everything’s going right now. The world is letting this happen, and I think it was a step in the right direction for him to do that. Because he’s such a strong character, I feel like a lot of people will connect to him and [it will] make them brave. That was probably my favorite character’s ending.”

I know a third season isn’t guaranteed, but are you optimistic?

“Yeah, I’m pretty optimistic. But I just woke up, so I might be delusional. I don’t know, you can never tell with these things. I think the characters are really out there, but they’re also relatable, and the story lines are really interesting. I want it back, obviously, so we’ll see what happens.”

What would you like to see Abby do next, should the show get picked up?

“I hope she becomes an actress in Germany! She’s going there, and she doesn’t know where he is exactly. She’ll have to find him … in Germany. I really just want to go to Germany.”

How did you feel about The L.A. Complex finale? Which story line hit you hardest? Would you like to see Abby & Gray living together in Germany, or does she need to get her butt back to the Lux? Drop me a comment with your thoughts!

Let’s push through to the end of the week with some scoop on our favorite shows, including Alicia’s return to The L.A. Complex and Pretty Little Liars‘ darkest betrayal yet.

The L.A. Complex

As much as I enjoyed the strip club scene on the Aug. 7 episode of The L.A. Complex, it also made me miss the show’s very own stripper Alicia (Chelan Simmons), who left the Lux on the second season premiere to tour with Usher. So I did a little digging and confirmed that we definitely WILL see her again this season, though executive producer Martin Gero is staying mum about when exactly she’ll return. Could something big be in the works for her?

Degrassi

Fiona (Annie Clark) may not know why Imogen (Cristine Prosperi) is keeping their relationship a secret from her dad — but I do! When I last chatted with Cristine about the future of “Fimogen,” she promised we’d learn a lot about Imogen’s personal life this season, including “where she comes from.” (Something tells me Imogen’s dad won’t be as accepting of his daughter’s lifestyle as Fiona’s mom was.)

True Blood

I got major heat from Team Bill the last time I suggested this, but it really looks like Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) is becoming a full-blown True Blood villain. According to HBO’s official description for the Aug. 26 episode, “Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) embarks on a final, desperate mission to overthrow the Authority — and save Bill from losing his humanity.” Could this be why Valentina Cervi told me the finale would be “touching” and “moving?” (Insta-poll: If only one vampire was left standing after the finale, who would you rather survive?)

Pretty Little Liars

We all want to know who will betray the girls on the Aug. 28 summer finale of Pretty Little Liars, and now thanks to ABC Family’s “Suspect Tracker,” we can officially narrow our list down to 12 names. Along with the four girls themselves, which I don’t really see happening, here are the Rosewood residents who made the cut:

Paige
Ezra
Lucas
Melissa (wherever she is…)
Toby
Caleb
Byron
Ashley

I was surprised at some of the names that didn’t make the list — Ella, Mike and Jenna, to name a few — but this definitely makes our guessing game easier! Any guesses?

If you thought the first season of The L.A. Complex was bats**t crazy, you haven’t seen anything yet! Season two, which continues at 9 p.m. tonight on The CW, finds the residents of The Lux deeper in the hole than ever before — and there, at the center of the madness, is Cassie Steele. She tells HollywoodLife.com what we can expect from Abby next (she’s got a secret!) and how she really feels about Abby’s awkward relationship with Nick (Joe Dinicol).

Read on for my full interview with Cassie:

I have to admit, I’m really jealous you get to work with Alan Thicke this season.

He’s a really cool guy! It’s a lot of fun. We’ve also got Paul F. Tompkins again this season, and he’s hilarious. I’ve gotten to work with a few cool people.

Were you a fan of Growing Pains as a kid?

Not so much. I was sort of into Pokemon. That was kind of my schtick.

Who wasn’t? Did you have a favorite?

Pokemon? Oh, God. I mean, there are a few, obviously. I feel like everybody liked Jigglypuff. And Eevee. And Pikachu! He was really cool. And Charizard — that big thing.

I was a Bulbasaur man, myself.

Bulbasaur, really? … He’s a little strange.

Yeah… Anyway, back to The L.A. Complex, I love the story line Abby has with the ‘siblings’ on Saving Grace. How twisted it that going to get?

It’s going to get pretty twisted. When does Abby ever have good luck, like real luck? Also, I love who they cast for that. They do such a great job. I’m excited to see people’s reactions to it.

I know she’s helping them keep a secret. Will she have to go to crazy lengths to make that happen?

Definitely, and as we all know, secrets usually surface. And they’re usually messy when they surface.

Now what about Abby and Nick? They’re in a weird place. What can we expect from them?

This season picked up a day after the first season ended, so Abby and Nick have only been going out for a short amount of time. They’re still quite new, so I don’t think they’re very serious. It moved a little fast because she’s crashing with him, but you’ll see how everything turns out in the next episode.

Will Abby continue to help Tariq with his Kaldrick drama?

Yes! Tariq and Kaldrick need a buffer, and she tries to be that as much as she can.

And will we hear Abby sing again?

Yeah, for sure. I’ve pressured them into letting me do it. I think I’ve got a pretty good hold on them.

The last time we spoke, you told me your favorite story line — other than Abby’s — was Tariq’s and Kaldrick’s. Is that still true?

Well… there are a couple love triangles this season, and obviously those are really interesting. Nick and Sabrina and that whole thing is really funny. They have great chemistry and great banter. We’ve also got a few recurring stars to look forward to. I can’t even say I have a favorite [story line] this time, because there’s so much going on. Everybody has both of their hands in the mud.

How about you, L.A. Complex fans? Do you have a favorite story line? Drop me a comment with your thoughts on the second season — and what you’d like to see happen next — below!

Happy Hump Day! It’s raining kitties and puppies — at least it is here in New York — and I’ve got an umbrella of spoilers for you to hide under! (Note to self: Work on better metaphors.) Read on for some exclusive scoop on your favorite shows (and mine!)

90210

The Oct. 8 season premiere of 90210 will find the Beverly Hills gang back at the same chapel where Max (Josh Zuckerman) left his fiancée for Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) — so does that mean we’ve got another wedding on our hands? I reached out to The CW for comment, and while they can’t confirm anything just yet, I have a feeling we can rule out any of the main characters tying the knot. It’s more likely that the episode is simply picking up where the finale left off, but hey, last season’s premiere did feature a “Lannie” proposal, so you never know!

Jane By Design

We’re still a few weeks away from Jane By Design‘s (hopefully) season finale, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look ahead at the drama to come! During my recent chat with Erica Dasher, she told me that “Jane’s two worlds collide in a huge way at the end of the season.” Does this mean Gray (Andie MacDowell) will finally figure out her assistant’s big secret? Donovan Decker’s HR department really dropped the ball on that one.

True Blood

We’ve already seen Reverend Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) switch teams on True Blood this season — but are we about to see him switch sides? “He’s OK with taking orders right now, but he’s a survivalist,” Michael recently told me. “I think he’s happy to have a job … but where his real alliegance lies is still a bit of a mystery.” Am I the only one predicting that Steve could become Russell Edgington’s (Denis O’Hare) new Talbot?

The L.A. Complex

The tale of Tariq’s (Benjamin Charles Watson) twisted romance is about to get even uglier — and I’m not just talking about his post-assault face. Though Tariq remains M.I.A. for the July 24 episode of The L.A. Complex, viewers will see Kaldrick (Andra Fuller) forced to wrestle with his inner demons. And, oh yes, there will be blood.

Pretty Little Liars

Is Alison (Sasha Pieterse) not dead after all? On the July 24 episode of Pretty Little Liars, Hanna (Ashley Benson) and Mona (Janel Parrish) attempt to channel their missing BFF — yes, it’s a super-old flashback — and their Ouiji board informs them that she’s alive! This little announcement is followed by a spooky shot of Ali standing at the window, an image that still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Happy Hump Day! Now that the summer holiday is behind us, my weekly Spoiler Parties can officially commence — and things are not looking good for some of my (and your) favorite TV couples.

Jane By Design

Jane (Erica Dasher) and Billy (Nick Roux) may be currently preoccupied with their own separate love interests, but it won’t be long before the best friends are once again forced to re-define their relationship. “There is a big shift with Billy and Jane coming up,” Erica tells me. “I think that will be a really fun thing to stay tuned for at the end of the season.”

True Blood

Steve Newlin (Michael McMillian) has been M.I.A. from Bon Temps for the past few weeks, but I’ve been told that everyone’s favorite “gay vampire American” will be back July 22 — and his heart still beats, so to speak, for Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten). “There will be more Jason and Steve in the second half of the season,” Michael tells me. “I think where the story goes is going to be really surprising. Steve’s love life plays a prominent part of the season throughout.”

The L.A. Complex

I’ve already given you some pretty big spoilers from the first two episodes of The L.A. Complex‘s second season — I’m always watching my back for CW snipers — but I think I can get away with sharing one more. A sort-of resident of The Lux starts to take a religious turn in episode two, but it’s not just any old religion. It happens to involve aliens. And science. And Hollywood. And it’s very timely. (I think you know what I’m getting at.)

Teen Wolf

Scott (Tyler Posey) and Allison’s (Crystal Reed) love life has never been easy, and I’m sorry to report that it’s about to encounter its biggest obstacle yet. According to just-leaked spoilers, “Scott’s relationship with Allison is strained” on the July 23 episode — and something tells me Erica (Gage Golightly) is already preparing to pounce.

Self-mutilation, porn, arson — and that was just season one! The L.A. Complex returns for an even more twisted second season July 17 on The CW, and HollywoodLife.com has the scoop on all the insane drama to come.

Ready? Here we go:

1. Someone threatens to kill Abby (Cassie Steele) again. That’s death threat No. 2 for those of you keeping score at home!

2. There are two new vacancies at the Lux this season, and while it doesn’t take long for Eddie to find new tenants, he should probably look into their backgrounds before handing over the keys.

3. Someone might be becoming a prostitute. Sort of.

4. Two words: Alan. Thicke. The Growing Pains dad proves to be a major thorn in Abby’s side, and if she isn’t careful, he could become a thorn in her future.

7. Nick (Joe Dinicol) and Abby have another classic roof scene. And yes, now that the show is in its second season, it’s allowed to have “classic” scenes.

6. The fallout from the finale’s confrontation between Kaldrick (Andra Fuller) and Tariq (Benjamin Charles Watson) is insane. So real and so crazy, I can’t even put it into words. Let’s just say it involves even more blood.

OK, I think that’s all I can get away with… for now. So tell me: What do you hope to see happen in season two? Which characters do you care about most? Drop me a comment with your thoughts and theories!
